Pre-K Turning Diabetics Away?

A complaint filed with the U.S. Justice Department alleges that Broward County pre-kindergarten programs are “turning away children with diabetes,” the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports.  The Southern Poverty Law Center has surveyed 75 Broward pre-K programs and asserts that only 16 percent made full accommodations for the children. 

Originally founded in December 2006 as an independent grassroots publication dedicated to coverage of health issues in Florida, Health News Florida was acquired by WUSF Public Media in September 2012.
