Alarming: Special Ed Program To HHS [UPDATED]

 



One of the many dangerous anti-science orders signed by the malicious Malignant Fascist came in February and involved moving the Special Education and child nutrition programs of the Education Department to the Department of Health and Human Services, headed by the notorious anti-science conspiracy theorist, former heroin addict and brain worm host Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.  While the MF's move would take legislation to accomplish, that won't stop his lawless band from doing it anyway. Sarah Carr, writing in Slate.com, says parents are justifiably worried that RFK, Jr., will mishandle the assignment and force his unscientific ideas on neurodivergent children having disabilities, such as ADHD:

"Underlying the Trump administration’s Make America Healthy Again campaign, and most particularly a February executive order calling out ADHD medications and other commonly prescribed drugs for children as potential 'threats,' is the anti-science implication that neurodivergence is a fiction, curable, as suggested in the executive order, with a well-balanced diet and regular exercise. Parts of the order read a lot like recent declarations from Robert F. Kennedy Jr., offering another piece of evidence—as if his persistent illusions of link between vaccines and autism weren’t enough—that the secretary of health and human services believes that scientists and doctors are hurting rather than helping neurodivergent children. President Donald Trump recently announced that RFK Jr. will oversee special education for schools, meaning the secretary will now wield enormous influence in how children with disabilities are perceived and treated at the federal level." (our emphasis)

When someone's prescription for measles is cod liver oil, among other outrageous statements, it's past time to sound the alarm bell for neurodivergent kids to be subject to the notions of an anti-science crank. The only thing certain is that this will not end well for the kids.

UPDATE: HHS begins layoffs of thousands of staff involved in food safety, disease prevention, and research. RFK, Jr., thinks this will "save" taxpayers money (but not their lives).

  1. 🤨 This evil man is part of an administration that screams nonsense about children being taken from schools and given "trans surgery" without parents knowledge or permission. So here's my first ever conspiracy theory:
    "RFK, Jr. is taking neurodivergent children from schools, without parents knowledge or permission, to conduct barbaric experiments to prove that vaccines and/or lack of Vitamin A and/or lack of dead whale guts caused every one of the problems that Kennedy will now PROVE he was right about all along!!"✊️💪 I'm only half kidding. I think this heroin-addled, brainworm-friendly, rapist/murderer defender, cheating husband, man who doesn't know enough about science to wear a hat in the sun is capable of any evil against children!! Prove me wrong!! "Paging Dr. Mengele!!" 👹☠️
