Boy with brain stem but not a complete brain, forced to take standardized assessment test

[Poll_Blind]

9. Can somoene be specific about what the "stomach turning" violation/outrage here is?

The child's not going to pass the test. Blind, very very limited ability to think. Got that.

Can't tell difference between apple and peach. Got that, too.

I got the reason why he had to take the test, too:

Michael, shortly after birth, came into the care of a woman named Judy Harris who owns and operates an Orlando care facility for children called the Russell House. The facility is under school board jurisdiction and, therefore, is subject to the same rules and regulations as other schools, including the requirement that every child must take some version of the FCAT.

So there's some horrible "charade" going on according to the article's author.

What...is that? That the boy's not going to pass the test? That the boy couldn't pass the test?

What's the violation of...anything here? There was no indication that, for intance, during the test the boy became upset or despondant over his inability to answer the questions or anything like that. There was no indication that somehow his test results are going to "harm" him in any way.

So what is the big fucking meltdown Valerie Strauss is trying to coax everyone into having? What is the nightmare I'm supposed to want to stop from every happening again?
