| Anonymous Coward User ID: 24866361  Taiwan06/19/2013 10:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | In what world is signing a safety hazard? Seriously? How? How? How can anybody be this stupid? These people educate other people? If this happened in a school district where my children went I'd pull them out of that school. Flat out waste of time sending them. Something is missing from this story. In fact... this is horrible journalism. The entire system from start to finish has failed you poor Americans. You really are doomed. No need to keep searching for GLP doom... here it is. |

| PricelessGemini (OP) User ID: 40904670 United States06/19/2013 11:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | She has ADA rights - if her parents sue, I think they will win. This is her preferred mode of communication. Quoting: Indysmindy Not to mention this is insane what they did to her. I think they are already in the process of suing. There's no reason they WOULDN'T win. As long as they don't settle. I'd push so far as the school be required to add ASL in the curriculum as an accommodation. It could only benefit the community in a positive note. You don't bully a child with an impairment, you accommodate them, you make them feel welcome. I'm beyond sick of this.

[link to abcnews.go.com] Danica's parents told the paper that other students who rode to school with their daughter made fun of her, and refused to stay in their seats as they teased other girls who were using sign language. They said school officials are singling out Danica and not addressing those who should really be reprimanded Make them stay in their seats a leave her and her friends alone. |

That's what schools keep doing. Singling people out. Never taking responsibility. They want to "make a statement" That's why I believe all school buses should be required to be equipped with seat-belts. Some are. If we're talking SAFETY here.
