— Older workers get boost from federal training program, but do they get jobs? – Becky Yerak (DIERSEN: In 1992, my Democrat GAO superiors hinted/implied that they would continue to assign me to audits of federal financial industry regulators at least until I was 55 years old in 2003 and eligible for regular retirement. Because of that, I then spent a lot of my personal time and money earning an extremely job-related master’s degree from IIT in financial markets and trading in 1997. However, in 1997, my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The complaint filed with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights and obtained by the Naperville Sun called on the Indian Prairie District to change the requirement that all students pass a driver education course prior to graduation. “That is discriminatory to students with vision, physical and intellectual disabilities and even some with severe learning disabilities,” the complaint stated. The OCR document also noted the complainant did not try to resolve the issue through the district’s grievance process or another agency, and filer’s name was redacted.)
