[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is the full settlement: https://www.acluva.org/sites/default/files/field_documents/seaman_v._virginia_settlement_agreement_fully_executed.pdf I can't cut and paste from it, but it makes clear that this is not some kind of right to reinstitute 100% masking based on an unsupported allegation that the child is "immunocompromised" or whatever. Kids in Virginia still have rights NOT to mask - both under Virginia law and the ADA. [/quote] Thanks for posting! It's actually very narrow in saying that the plaintiffs can request masking as an accommodation (no guarantee it will be given) and explicitly says that [b]schools also have to accommodate kids who don't want to mask by providing an alternate placement[/b].[/quote] Sorry - that's backwards. Why should everyone else have to seek alternative placement rather than the student "requiring" their peers be masked? THAT's the one who needs to seek alternative placement. [/quote] Also what happens if no one else in the grade wants their kids to have to mask and they all requests an alternative placement ?[/quote] Students with disabilities have certain rights that don’t apply to non-disabled students. A kid with a disability has a right to a reasonable accommodation for their disability.[/quote] Asking a classroom of other students to do something they and their parents don't want them to is not a reasonable accommodation for the one student. [/quote] So, you’ve never had to avoid nut items due to another child’s severe peanut allergy? We’ve had plenty of experience with that. How can people grow up with kids that have never had to make a sacrifice for others’ health and well-being? Would you have your kids wear a mask in a hospital or nursing home to see a sick or elderly relative?[/quote]
