[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The ACLU lawsuit is ridiculous. The ADA entitles a qualified individual with a disability to an effective accommodation- not the accommodation of their choice. Prior to filing suit, an individual with a disability has to go through an interactive process to get such an accommodation. In this lawsuit, the plaintiffs attempt to argue that somehow other students not wearing a cloth mask (which is not a proven effective 'accommodation' in any event) means they are not being accommodated? It should get tossed out of court immediately. Now- if the law said no student was allowed to wear a mask, preventing immuno compromised students from wearing a n95 mask themselves, that might get somewhere. [/quote] Agree completely. The lawsuit is preposterous. Cloth masks provide very little benefit and one way masking with a high-quality mask is a very effective accommodation. The ACLU jumped the shark with this lunacy, especially when many disabled kids are suffering from mask mandates. [/quote] The lawsuit is absolutely not preposterous. A federal judge already ruled in favor of kids with disabilities in Texas in a similar case. https://www.texastribune.org/2021/11/10/texas-schools-mask-mandate-ban-overturned/amp/[/quote] The ADA / IDEA cannot have the government require fellow children proactively do something to provide an accommodation - that is the opposite of civil liberties - the complete opposite.[/quote] Ha! My children are forever required to deal with disruptions, outbursts, and numerous physical injuries as well as a destroyed project due to the “least restrictive environment” of another child.
