The recent announcement of a new investigation by B.C.'s ombudsperson has sparked concerns about the exclusion of students with disabilities from school classes and activities. For parents like Lama Alsaafin, whose 16-year-old son was forced to stay home, this issue is a harsh reality. The exclusion of students with disabilities is a growing problem in B.C. schools, with many being denied access to education and social opportunities. This inhumane treatment is a clear violation of their rights, and it's time for change. Key issues include inclusive education, disability rights, and accessibility in schools.
