This is a confusing article.

It says that this young woman cannot read and write, but she was able to graduate high school with her class, and attend university.

Which is it?

All K-12 students deserve the help they need to learn to read, write, and figure. They do not need to learn all the politically correct garbage.

And students must have priority over teachers’ unions. There is way too much unionization in education today. Even Harvard graduate students have a labor union! We did just fine without one when I was in Harvard graduate school!

Excerpts from the article:

’This specific complaint names Tilda Santiago, a special education case manager and teacher, who would allegedly “yell at, belittle, and humiliate [Ortiz] in front of other students and teachers… ‘The lawsuit also stated, “Ortiz would frequently run to other teachers and/or administrators in tears and emotional distress.”

‘Frustrated, Ortiz said she singlehandedly put in the work — dedicating most of her free time to school, listening back to audio recordings of her classes, and using technology (such as Talk-to-Text applications) to complete assignments.

‘Ortiz was able to raise her grades, meet her credit requirements, and walk the stage with her fellow graduates. It was a moment filled with mixed emotions. “It’s the treatment that she had to go through at the hands of several people, who were the adults in the room, who were supposed to be helping her,” said Anthony Spinella, the attorney representing Ortiz in this matter. “They really, really hurt her.”
