Disabilities R Us
At AmericanThinker.com, David Solway recently shared what he has discovered:
"I have recently examined an accommodation document issued by a university, which I won't name. The data are stunning. Student A requires extended time for assignments and exams. Student B requires a word-processor with spell- and grammar-checker. Student C must not write more than one exam per day. Student D requires one day between exams. Student E requires 'mind maps' (i.e., cheat sheets). Student F needs N.C. (noise-canceling) headphones to prevent distraction. And so on all the way down the alphabet. Indeed, even as I write, a professor at the University of Guelph has been suspended for allegedly chastising an anxiety-disability student.
There are at least six obvious problems with the disability regime of the modern university, listed here in random fashion."
