It’s important for understanding the story what ‘students with disabilities’ really means. They aren’t really talking about kids in wheelchairs, but rather with kids who have been ‘diagnosed’ with mental and behavioral problems. For example the student beat the teacher’s aide into unconsciousness was ‘disabled’. So was the dress-wearing boy who raped girls in the girls restroom.
Schools are not legally allowed to severely discipline such students if their behavior is connected to their disability. My favorite is Oppositional Defiance Disorder. That means the kid doesn’t like doing what he’s told to do and acts out accordingly. If you tell him to not use his phone, he punches you in the face.
If there is an L.E.O. they might actually arrest the precious ‘disabled’ child and we really can’t have that, can we?
All of that and also sometimes they are called disabled when they come from disadvantaged backgrounds.
A fancy term for *a brat that needs some good firm discipline*.
I just want to puke every time someone tells me with a straight face that their child has been diagnosed with that *condition*.
