SuprGlu, Burden of Proof,

I see Tim Lauer uses SuprGlu to gather content from many sites and compile it into one web page. Has anyone tried it with digital ink content?

U. S. Supreme Court Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer dissented Monday from a majority opinion written by Justice Sandra Day O’Conner. Ginsburg said she was persuaded that education policy considerations, convenience and fairness call for assigning the burden of proof to the school district in a case asking a school to demonstrate the adequacy of a required Individualized Education Plan for their child with a disability. The majority opinion argued that parents must demonstrate the inadequacy of the program. How disappointing it must be for parents to be told that they must prove the negative in order to persuade educators to improve an IEP for their children. Logically how does anyone prove a negative? I’m not a logician, but I understand that no one can prove a negative. I wonder if parents have enough political influence to have legislation that compels schools to offer programs that maximize vs. minimize learning opportunities for students with disabilities.
