Let's have a beer! www.nytimes.com.

How about this.

If the President, Professor Gates, and Sergeant Crowley can sit down and have a beer at the White House, how about parents of students with disabilities and school personnel--sitting down just to talk with and listen to each other. When the President mentioned that idea at his impromptu news briefing yesterday, didn't the nation breath a bit easier?

Surely worth trying. Talking and listening to move forward together might work better than the endless battles we now have about special education.
