US Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos met with lawmakers on Tuesday, and defended the Trump Administration for proposing nearly million in cuts to Special Olympics. Devos was questioned on the subject by Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Wis., who took issue with DeVos not knowing the number of participants in Special Olympics. “It’s 272,000 kids,” Pocan said,“Let me just say that I think Special Olympics is an awesome organization, one that is well supported by the philanthropic sector as well,” DeVos said.According to 2017 figures from Special Olympics, the organization had nearly 0 million in annual revenue. The majority of its budget comes from donations from individuals and corporations, which totals million a year.DeVos defended the move as one to save the government money. “We had to make some difficult decisions," she said. A number of prominent celebrities decried DeVos' testimony later on Tuesday. "Terrible. We should support athletes with disabilities, not rip away their opportunities," Chelsea Clinton tweeted. "The benefits of Special Olympics, which I have seen first hand as volunteer are IMMEASURABLE," actress Marlee Matlin tweeted. "DeVos proposal to cut their funding will adversely affect thousands with developmental disabilities. Don't let this happen!"According to Special Olympics, its mission is "to provide year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes and the community." 1735

WASHINGTON – The White House on Friday blasted the House's impeachment inquiry as "completely baseless" and a "reckless abuse of power" ahead of a deadline set by House Democrats for the White House to say whether it would participate in the impeachment proceedings.White House counsel Pat Cipollone sent a letter to House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler attacking the Democrats' impeachment inquiry, though the message did not explicitly say that President Donald Trump's counsel would not take part."As you know, your impeachment inquiry is completely baseless and has violated basic principles of due process and fundamental fairness," Cipollone wrote in a two-paragraph letter. "Adopting articles of impeachment would be a reckless abuse of power by House Democrats, and would constitute the most unjust, highly partisan, and unconstitutional attempt at impeachment in our Nation's history."While the letter doesn't specifically state the White House won't participate, that's what it means, according to a senior administration official."The letter communicates that we will not participate in this process," the official said.The White House counsel concluded the brief letter by quoting Trump's tweet from earlier this week: "Whatever course you choose, as the President has recently stated: 'if you are going to impeach me, do it now, fast, so we can have a fair trial in the Senate, and so that our Country can get back to business.'"This story is breaking and will be updated. 1498

When Angela Walker went through her son's school folder, she was shocked to find what the fifth grader had been working on in class.A social studies assignment from Blades Elementary School in Oakville, Missouri, had asked some students, including her biracial son, to imagine that they work in the slave trade. Then it prompted them to set a price for a slave."You own a plantation or farm and therefore need more workers. You begin to get involved in the slave trade industry and have slaves work on your farm. Your product to trade is slaves.Set your price for a slave. _____________ These could be worth a lot.You may trade for any items you'd like," one of the questions in the exercise read.That question was one among 12 that school Principal Jeremy Booker said "attempted to address market practices."Other questions asked students to set a price for items such as a bushel of grain, a piece of lumber and a jug of milk. At the end of the exercise, students were asked to reflect on a free market economy and whether they'd consider themselves wealthy given the money and items they had left over."As part of both the Missouri Learning Standards for fifth-grade Social Studies and the fifth-grade Mehlville School District curriculum, students were learning about having goods, needing goods and obtaining goods and how that influenced early settlement in America," Booker wrote in a letter sent to families at the school on Monday."Some students who participated in this assignment were prompted to consider how plantation owners traded for goods and slaves."Assignment was 'culturally insensitive'The assignment was "culturally insensitive," Booker wrote, and he said the teacher had expressed "significant remorse."As the Mehlville School District continues to investigate, the teacher has been placed on administrative leave, the district confirmed to CNN. Booker also wrote that he was working to train all teachers and staff at the school about "cultural bias.""Also, I am working with district leadership to provide all Blades teachers and staff with professional development on cultural bias in the near future," he wrote."We are working together to ensure all students and families feel valued and respected at Blades Elementary."Chris Gaines, Mehlville School District superintendent, apologized for the assignment on Tuesday."Asking a student to participate in a simulated activity that puts a price on a person is not acceptable," Gaines wrote in a statement. "Racism of any kind, even inadvertently stemming from cultural bias, is wrong and is not who we aspire to be as a school district. I am sorry and disappointed that this happened in our school."NAACP hopes to meet with school officialsWalker, who is a teacher herself, told 2765
