Once again, logic thinking and common sense failed conservatives - just because a service is being offered, DOES NOT mean people are actually using it.
Here are the facts:
The reason the Children Defense Fund send Hillary and others to New Bradford in the first place is because there were significant number of children missing in the class rooms!!!! That is a fact.
Hillary went door to door because they actually wanted to account for each and every missing children!!! That is a fact.
Back in those times, it was not uncommon for parents to keep disabled people at home.
And this is a problem that extended beyond New Bradford.
This was such a major issue that CONGRESS HAD TO PASS A LAW SPECIFICALLY FOR DISABLED CHILDREN in 1975.
If things were as rosy in New Bradford in 1973 as you right-wingers are claiming, it would not have caught the attention of the Children's Defense Fund, Hillary would not be send to New Bradford, it would not have gotten the attention of Congress, and they would not have the need to pass a law about it!!!
Think guys think.
The entire chain of events leading to the passage of Education for All Handicapped Children Act in 1975 effectively DEBUNKED yet another right-wing lie!!!

The Dem mayor is the one who said she is lying. But great try.
In 1973, many New Bedford schools were not handicap accessible — which would have kept some disabled children from attending their neighborhood school. But the city accommodated these kids by transporting them to other schools that were outfitted to their needs, a practice that continues today, according to a school official.
The October 1974 report from the Children’s Defense Fund found high rates of New Bedford kids not attending school

Um, Clintons claim was that SHE put those services into place and made them available. Not that she convinced people not using it, that they should..
she's going as low as possible, we are 'immune' to the lies and lawbreaking, america has 100 days to figure it out, there's not much time to change your mind about this stuff, this is evil stuff, exploitation at its finest, you want to talk about ugly, this woman should be in prison and there's 50 pct of americans thinking of voting for her.
They, flat out, often did not go to school. Things were different then.
Clinton flat out lied. New Bedford already had transportation for handicapped children in place.
