Alright – so, if you read my blog then you know I am not a big fan of the current commissioner at DHS nor the current governor. I have good reasons. First, they preach equity while practicing inequalities. They preach inclusiveness while practicing exclusiveness. More employees have complained about racial discrimination under them than at least three previous administrations combined. An accident – hell no. They are bias to their core. Don’t let their charm fool you.
At any rate, this blog isn’t about how racist DHS is. We all know that. It is how DHS’ Commissioner Harpstead and Gov Walz (aka One Minnesota Hoax) have refused to protect children with autism and their families again.
Minnesota Department of Human Services under Gov Walz (One Minnesota Hoax) threw kids with autism and their families under the bus again. DHS refuses to protect the children. They refuse to ensure comprehensive and thoughtful background studies are done on the therapists who see these vulnerable kids. They refuse to protect the kids by not making autism therapy agencies licensed or even certified. You read that right.
The human services agency refuses to protect humans, especially small children with autism who are vulnerable and can’t protect themselves. What a load of crap from DHS’ commissioner Harpstead and Gov Walz.
I am sooooo pissed right now. Commissioner Harpstead and Gov Walz are no friends to autism families. They again threw us under the bus and over the bridge. I urge any autism family or anyone who cares about autism to send emails and testify in the state legislature about this. We should be proactive and protect the kids not reactive and wait for another Jensen settlement. If you live under a rock and don’t know who Jensen was, here is a snapshot.
Their excuse – we don’t have money. What now? How much is a kid with autism worth? I mean seriously – how much?
This is not true, DHS has money. They just don’t care about this issue. Lovely.
