And if the school doesn´t have enoough disabled, they will be required to break the leg of the first 3 people in line. (And one of them will have to be homosexual).

Hmm we are currently working with a salary freeze and the US department of ED is directing school districts to provide MORE sports programs? Somebody has to tell the dept of ED we are broke.

Next up: it´s unfair that stupid kids are denied a spot on the academic bowl team.

Today´s liberal lesson in ´selflessness´: create bogus teams so that selfish liberals can undermine another traditional institution.

The view is quite hazy frm the ivory tower so these utopians may not know that sports teams are expensive. Lack of funding forces them to pay for travel, uniforms, etc. Facilities are usually booked solid due to that other liberal debacle known as Title IX. And who will coach the wheelchair pole vault team?

As usual the feel-goodism fails to take reality Into account.

Using a visual cue for a deaf runner makes sense.

Letting someone compete in a racing wheelchair against runners makes no sense.

This could turn out to be smart, like in the first example, or stupid, like in the second example (both from the article).

I have a lot to say on this subject but will just put it into a few words. This is stupid.

This is just retarded

This is what I hate about stupid stupid liberals.

Next . . . front line infantry. Go, lefties, go!

When you´re grown up, you realize that we are not all created equal. And there is a reason for that.

In the school district where I live, all sports and other extra curricular activities were lost for one year due to budget issues. This ruling could kill them permanently. What school district could afford this? I think the Dept. of Ed did this not to be inclusive but to be intentionally destructive.

um, so what about the non-disabled kids who didn´t make varsity or JV? do they get their own teams too? what the frack?

Great, now even the vertically disabled will have a spot on the basketball team.

And dimocrats will make the math team.

Maybe it´s time for all the non-disabled, un-hyphenated students of no color everywhere to just drop out of everything.

The Dept of Education does not educate anyone, it is a bureaucratic organization that basically does nothing but disrupt the education of our children and cause more paperwork. It is a negative organization, everything it does makes education worse and cost more. Time to totally get rid of this and many other Departments as they provide no value!

Now that this is settled, I suggest the Bureaucrats be made to be practice dummies, ball fetchers, second base bags and a host of useful things. Now the disabled kids will have bureaucrats doing something productive and they can schwack the heads of bureaucrats and call it T-Ball!

"Official time-out to repair a flat tire on the halfback´s wheelchair."

School districts already spend more on Special Ed students than they do on regular students. They pay the teachers the same but the SE teachers only teach 1-8 students per day. We have one teacher who pushes a SP student from class to class and takes notes for him. She gets paid the same as any other teacher. SE teachers will have maybe 5 students and will get a paid aide. Regular teachers do not get aides and teach upwards of 130 students per day. This is stupid.

When I was in school here in MA, kennedy was potus and they concentrated on physical fitness. We also had a very well-equipped gym. Now, come forward 35 years, in that same town, and my son had almost no gym equipment in these same schools and their gym time was frequently spent standing with their backs to the walls, talking. This in a middle-income suburb of boston, ma. They couldn´t even offer my child who had no disabilities, an exercise regime. Liberals! Useless bunch of creatures.

Isn´t it Article 9 (demanding the Left´s view of gender equality) that has eliminated many men´s sports in colleges? The should do something similar in high school sports if a federal judge agrees with the Little Dictator´s bureaucracy.

Demanding that others change to accomodate you is NOT going to teach ANYONE-players or hopefuls- ´Selflessness"

If anything it is a PERFECT example of SELFISHNESS.

But, typical to liberals they turn everything upside down.

Democrats delenda est, for the good of the planet.

Well if Ben Bernanke will continue printing $40 billion a week and the Chinese will continue to loan us money I don´t see a problem with spending the billions it would take to implement this lunacy, do you?

Actually, by eliminating the D of E we will have enough money for EVERYONE to be on a sports team with enough left over for ribbons, if not plaques.

If it´s time to integrate women into combat maybe we should integrate girls into high school football and hockey too. They should be sharing the same locker rooms just to make everything fair.

Liberalism is a cancer of the mind, a blight on the culture and the death of Liberty. Those who love it are evil incarnate.

Why don´t weak people get to play on the sport´s team? There are many more instances of weak people not being allowed participation, and it isn´t fair that they should be excluded.

Will there be wheelchair hurdles?

I´m thinking some of the dudes in the Dept. of Edumacation must have ridden the short bus some time ago. W. T. H. !

My DH had construction company at one time and eventually wandered into school renovation. One of his jobs was to take a room in the school, totally tile it and make it a place for the wheelchair student to be taken - a few times a day - for a complete washdown and then be returned to class (with aide). Cost about $300,000. Student moves through that school and guess what he needs at the next school. And the next school. In the meantime we were donating boxes of copier paper to our grandson´s classes because he was bringing home papers that had been copied on used paper.

The Dept. of Education should be eliminated. It should have never been created as there is no need for it and this is an example.

Oh, goodie, next will be ugly women must be included in beauty contests.

Replace sports with video games.
