This is such a travesty. Her resourcefulness is awesome. It really boils my blood that this happens. It boils my blood that disabled kids are just discarded. Comments like "well she's disabled, that's reality" like this particular young woman hasn't worked her arse off and shown she's willing and able boil my blood. It's still abhorrent that kids who have higher support needs are written off, too. We can still teach these kids. Yes, even the ones who require around the clock care!

I really hope she has great outcomes.

Apparently she was in a special education program, but something went wrong within that program.

I can only imagine this will be thrown out of court unless they're is some gross misconduct not described in the article.

That some people have disabilities is a fact of life.
