00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.535
The parent movement really made the

00:00:02.535 --> 00:00:03.863
definitive difference in getting the

00:00:03.863 --> 00:00:07.213
ball rolling. The parents started,

00:00:07.213 --> 00:00:09.471
and then professionals and state

00:00:09.471 --> 00:00:11.650
government, legislators, executive

00:00:11.650 --> 00:00:13.718
branch people, and the media went on.

00:00:13.718 --> 00:00:15.478
And someone had to ask Sam Newlund

00:00:15.478 --> 00:00:17.339
to go look at Faribault. What I'm

00:00:17.339 --> 00:00:18.933
saying is the parents own a great

00:00:18.933 --> 00:00:20.082
deal of credit for getting the ball

00:00:20.082 --> 00:00:22.013
rolling. Without them, it wouldn't

00:00:22.013 --> 00:00:24.178
have gotten done, period. Now that's

00:00:24.178 --> 00:00:25.609
not to say that parents are all it takes.

00:00:25.609 --> 00:00:26.838
It did take professionals,

00:00:26.838 --> 00:00:29.051
State legislators, the Federal Court

00:00:29.051 --> 00:00:31.384
and others to move the ball.
