Sarah Palin Gives a Big Speech on Special Education

Palin advocated, among other things, for full funding of the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act. I wonder how that will square with Sen. John McCain's plan to freeze most spending—including for education programs—until he can conduct a top-to-bottom review of all federal programs.
