[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately APS' parent disability groups (ASEAC and SEPTA) are dominated by closed schoolers and forced child maskers[/quote]

Here come the APE trolls attacking the disability groups now. Have you no shame?[/quote]

They are pure trash.

Not sure who you're referring to, but I'm in SEPTA and I saw the closed schooler/forced masker leader emailing us, saying we should use the ADA last spring to force classes to mask.  They definitely don't speak for the vast majority of SWD parents.  It was infuriating.[/quote]

You sound pretty ignorant of SEPTA efforts. SEPTA advocated for in-person education for students with disabilities very early on back in 2020. [b]SEPTA also advocated for accommodations for immunocompromised students with disabilities so they too can go to school. Sorry you have a problem with the ADA. [/b]

The ADA has never been intrepreted to force interventions on whole classes of students.  And if you want a conservative Supreme Court to automatically slap that down (and possibly gut the ADA) for your own phobias, then keep going.

Did immunocompromised kids never exist before?  H1N1 is estimated to have killed more kids in less than 6 months than COVID did annually.  What did we do then?  Did we ever force mask entire classes?  Is there not home bound instruction?

It's important for my SWD son to see other kids' and their teachers' faces.  It's important for any child, but especially hearing and speech impaired.[/quote]

I was infuriated when I received that email last spring from SEPTA lady, trying to get us to use our disabled kids as warriors in her mask war.  She definitely didn't speak for me or the parents of learning disabled kids I know.[/quote]

I have a kid who needs ADA accommodations to be in school and I was very grateful. Why are you so against other kids getting what they need to be in school? [/quote]

Your child needed every other kid forcibly masked?  No, you didn't (and no does).[/quote]

What are you talking about? Who is requiring masks in APS? I don't know of anyone that is so not sure what your beef is. But yes, if a child does require masking by others, then they can get it under the ADA in very specific circumstances. I highly highly doubt you will ever encounter this but if you ever do, it's disturbing to know what your reaction to this poor kid would be. It would probably be a kid on chemo or something similar for example. Have a little compassion. [/quote]
