At school year's end, students and schools already feeling sequester cuts "Mary [ed note: name has been changed] needs more help than I can give her as a resource teacher. When I put in the request for aide time, which would enable Mary to continue to attend her neighborhood school, I was told by district administration not to expect the request to be approved because of across-the-board federal budget cuts. So congratulations, Congress. Your inaction has already hurt the neediest kid at my school." - Michael McDonough, Salt Lake City Artist illustrates her support for DREAMers and their educator advocates "I hope [DREAMers] understand there is a community and people who care and stand with them in solidarity.
