while also “unfair” is the more equitable of the two

I think this is very leftist. It is most appropriate to train the school's staff to react appropriately to an emergency situation, then allow the boy to attend with the understanding that boy's problems are ultimately his own.

Everyone should not be made to suffer for one person's inability to cope any more than the whole of society should be barred the possession of weapons because a very tiny minority of the citizens are dangerous.

The true solution is to kill all lawyers and return to the rule of common sense. Fat chance, I know.

Ah, but you see, I have been a trial lawyer for nearly 35 years. And my wife has been one for over 30. So, as I am sure you can imagine, I am highly unlikely to agree with you on this particular point.

What you interpret as a leftist response is, instead, a realistic one which allows, and compensates, for the vagaries of the contemporary legal system. Which, I will happily concede, frequently yields results which are idiotic.

By the way, and completely off topic, my wife recently acquire a cat (a Maine Coon), which has been named for the man whom your handle honors.
