keep the resource classes

I signed this petition because I have a daughter with Special Needs. Although she is not mentally compromised and I'm confident she will cope in a mainstream school, there is still alot of predujice and stigma around disabilities and learning disorders. These children are excluded and discriminated against and it is unacceptable! We need to instill an attitude of 'acceptance' and 'equality' within our homes and schools. Education is not something our children should have to struggle with and fight for - I'm currently having difficulty placing my child in a Daycare! People hear the words "special needs" and run a mile...

This is 2016, not 1920 where such children and adults were locked away in Care Homes (often abusive ones) and viewed as Taboo and treated like some dark and shameful family secret!

Open your hearts and schools!!!

If the education dept removes LSE they'll do this country a great disservice and we'll regress by centuries.....
