In Wednesday’s Keynote speech, VP nominee Sarah Palin declared:

To the families of special-needs children all across this country, I have a message: For years, you sought to make America a more welcoming place for your sons and daughters. I pledge to you that if we are elected, you will have a friend and advocate in the White House.

However in a new Sarah Palin scandal coming out today, Sarah Palin might have changed her mind on this one recently, maybe just to get the presidency? Sarah Palin actually slashed funding for schools for special needs kids by 62%. See the Budgets for: Fiscal Year 2007 before Sarah Palin was in office , 2008, 2009 (all pdfs).

UPDATE

I stand corrected:
The budget decreases resulted from a change in accounting and not because of a decrease in funds.
