Voucher schools don't always take special needs students

The Wisconsin State Journal reports:
Two nonprofit groups advocating for students with disabilities — Disability Rights Wisconsin and the American Civil Liberties Union — filed a lawsuit against the state in 2011 alleging discrimination by voucher schools. In April, responding to the complaint, the U.S. Department of Justice sent a letter directing the state Department of Public Instruction to collect more information about alleged incidences of discrimination.
