no fair!

The Supreme Court ruled in a closely watched education case on Monday that parents who disagree with a school system's special-education plan for their child have the legal burden of proving that the plan will not provide the "appropriate" education to which federal law entitles all children with disabilities.
"Until now, there has been impetus for both sides to really mediate and work things out," said Wendy Byrnes, a parent advocate at the Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund in Berkeley, Calif., who added that most cases are settled in mediation. "This decision tips the scale in the district's favor, so that a school district will not be so motivated to work something out."

i respectfully dissent on grounds that this is some seriously unfair bullshit.
