Jay Greene and I continue our debate about special education policy at Pajamas Media with the really good stuff happening in the comment section. He, quite generously, concedes that his study did not conclusively prove that schools are falsely diagnosing kids with learning disabilities in response to certain state funding policies. He concluded that it is not plausible that 1 in 7 kids have some form of disability. I responded that we, as political scientists, aren’t really qualified to weigh in on that matter.

After we wrapped up our discussion, others piped in. I was overjoyed to learn that the increased numbers of disabilities was really part of a government plot to revoke gun privileges from boys.

And one more thing. IF let’s say…a young child is DIAGNOSED as , ADD or
ADHD, is given a NARCOTIC for the better part of his (yes most ADHD
diagnosed children are boys) developmental years, will he be UNABLE
legally to purchase a weapon, as his newly affirmed 2nd Amendment
rights say? Or, and here’s my bet, will he (yes he) be deemed mentally
“disabled” and therefor flagged, and unable to purchase a rifle?

The answer coming up, and soon.

The plot thickens.
