Sen. Ron Johnson #fundie washingtonpost.com

A Republican senator has inserted language into an appropriations bill that would prohibit the Justice Department from enforcing key provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act at private schools that receive public funds, a measure he said was necessary to protect voucher programs from politically motivated attacks.?The bill — the Commerce, Justice, Science and Related Agencies Appropriations Act — has not yet passed. But disability-rights advocates are concerned that the amendment submitted last week by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) could make it far more difficult for Justice Department officials to ensure that voucher programs give students with disabilities fair access to private schools.
