“Heather Gellibrand has Cerebral Palsy. I find it disturbing that Ms. Couture and her Movement counterparts believe that the scope of Heather Gellibrand’s many medical and educational needs can be properly managed on a religious commune, which is little more than a ramshackle compound in the woods, instead of a legally-required Planning and Placement Team comprised of medical professionals and educators.”

Sheckly finds disturbing is the fact that years of liberal social engineering has finally been revealed for what it is – a very expensive sham.

Government has simply gotten in the way. I trust that parents, families, and communities of faith will do right be their children. Government has no role in that equation.” “Wake up, Virginia,” Schekly hollered into the camera, his face exploding in a crimson blossom, veins
