We were talking about it in Journalism class the other day, and another reason might be that in the US, EVERY. SINGLE. KID. is supposed to have the same opportunity (or so we say) to learn equally.

I didn't say it would be closed because of the question, but because people tend to stray off topic in negative ways that ruin threads. Happily that hasn't happened so far.

And I don't remember seeing kids with down syndrome in my classes in America, either.
