A deaf student was about to graduate highschool when it was discovered a) he only had a third grade reading level and b) his aide didn't actually know sign language. The family is suing and demanding parents be able to control this insanity better. It is appearing before the Supreme Court.

After 12 years in school, with no other disability, Perez was reading at a 3rd-grade level.

No other disability? How the hell does he spend his time, if he can't hear, can't read, and the person he interacts with most can't actually sign?

If he didn't ask for help by this point, it's because he doesn't want it.

Perez, now 27

Oh, that explains it. He coasted, and is looking for a payout after discovering that coasting eventually runs out of momentum, by necessity.

His difficulties were compounded by the fact that his family emigrated from Mexico when Perez was 9 years old. His parents spoke only Spanish.

And there's the kicker. He can probably read Spanish.

SCOTUS should tell the family which way south is, recommend the school fire the aide who didn't know ASL, and then dismiss the case.

Did I say kicker? Because the article includes a photo of masked students, which pushed every child a little further from a normal, healthy childhood and a little further into the absurd clown world we now occupy.
