"People aren't supposed to pay for their accommodations," said Barry Taylor, legal director for Equip for Equality

Why the hell not?!?

If the child needs to be accompanied, why doesn’t her own mother do it? Who would be better suited for the job?

Demanding that other people bear one’s burdens doesn’t get one very far in life.

And what, pray tell, prevented the girl's parents from becoming interpreters for this girl during the last 12 years of her life? It appears the dad is the one who works and provides income, so the mom must be a stay-at-home. Does she use an interpreter to communicate with her own daughter? I realize she has six kids, but why does someone else have to pay for her to attend a voluntary thing?

I know reasonable accommodation applies to the workplace, not sure about this case, but that doesn't mean that a company has to spend unreasonable amounts of money to accommodate you. If your accommodation costs more than you're worth, it ain't gonna fly.

What’s sign language for “go F yourself?”

Some people just kill me.

Another foot soldier in “The Free Sh*t Army” demands others pay for what she wants.

The “Deaf””Community” is by in large VERY Liberal and VERY “entitled”.

[SkyDancer]

The GS are a voluntary organization. You voluntarily join them, they didn’t come after you. So if it’s voluntary that you joined, then .....

The government should tax them for NOT forming a girl scout troop

I think there is precedent (now) for that (THANKS DUMBASS I mean Roberts!)

[Oshkalaboomboom]

We happen to have a good number of deaf people in our poker league. One of them is married to an interpreter. I’m going to show her this article to see what she thinks of the entitlement mentality this lady has in regards to her daughter.

[PAR35]

She’s been in the scouts 6 or 7 years, and none of the other girls in the troop liked her enough to learn how to sign? Says something about her, it seems.

On the other hand, the Girl Scouts are a left wing, pro-abortion organization, and I think we can all enjoy it when liberals start fighting about who is most entitled.

“People aren’t supposed to pay for their accommodations,”

Really? That’s good to hear. Now I know I can “dine and dash” legally.

[vpintheak]

PATHETIC! This “mother” (more like a gold-digging moron!) should have gotten her behind out there and translated for HER daughter! If she cared so much she should have been there for her child! Instead, sue, sue, sue, and make other people pay!

....But Runnion said her family of six relies on her husband's income as an inventory purchaser and can't afford the expense of an interpreter for her daughter....

Then you get your butt to the events and act as the interpreter. Girls Scouts (the girls, not the organization) are about providing service, not demanding it. The leaders and assistants are volunteers, not your paid servants.

But Runnion said her family of six relies on her husband's income as an inventory purchaser and can't afford the expense of an interpreter for her daughter....

Family of six, one income? I'm starting to see where the problem comes in here.

This mother could find a way to accommodate her daughter if even if it took becoming a den mother herself.
