[DD31832]

I must say that I, too, was offended by the suggestion that educational resources allocated to the disabled are being ‘wasted’ and could be better used elsewhere. As a disabled person (I have been confined to a wheelchair since age six), I am appalled by such a suggestion. We are as entitled to an education as the next person, and yes, we can learn as well (or better) as them in spite of (or perhaps due to) our physical limitations. I hold a Ph.D. in molecular biology – not an easy task even for so-called ‘normal’ people. I feel that everyone is entitled to an education, no matter what their situation in life. Would it be fair to limit access to an education only to those from middle- to upper-class areas – since statistically those from the lower social-economic areas are more likely to end up as criminals or on drugs? Wouldn’t that be a waste of our resources as well?
