[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, if a student in your child’s class has cancer, you’re not willing to have your kid mask?[/quote]

My child is deaf. Your child will not wear a mask so my child can read her lips. Cancer student should stay home.[/quote]

How about your deaf child stays home since she can't hear? See how this works? [/quote]

A sigh language interpreter in the classroom doesn’t interfere with other kids ability to learn. Special software that helps communicate doesn’t interfere with the other kids ability to learn A mask that makes it harder for a Teacher and classmates to be understood interferes with their ability to learn. One kids accommodations don’t interfere with the rest of the classes ability to learn while the other one does. See how that works? [/quote]

A sign language interpreter is distracting to the kids with ADHD. Your kid should stay home. [/quote]

I'm not sure if you are trying to be intentionally hurtful, or if you are mentally ill.  You're point is not being made, all that you show is you're an a-hole.[/quote]

I guess you don't get sarcasm. Of course I don't actually think the deaf child should stay home. The parent of the deaf child said the immunocompromised child - who has a different disability than her child - should stay home. I'm pointing out that others could very easily say her deaf child should stay home due to their disability and need for accommodations.

The point is that schools should put the accommodations in place for the deaf child and the immunocompromised child. Peer masking may be one of the accommodations an immunocompromised child may need to attend school. And no, that child should not have to stay home if they can attend school with this accommodation in place, that's a right they have under the ADA, and this settlement recognizes that.

The amount of ignorance, ableism and just plain hate on here is upsetting. Pretty telling that no one wants to attach their names to this.
