Utah School Bans Special Needs Kids from Yearbook!
Blue Peak High School in Tooele, Utah has excluded, for the first time, photos of special needs students from the school's 2015 yearbook. The principal reportedly told parents of the 17 special needs students, "We don't have the pages."
Why is this important?
I am a Utah parent of a special needs child and I am outraged that the school principal of Blue Peak High School would exclude special needs kids from the yearbook for any reason. This constitutes illegal discrimination under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). At the very least, this principal needs to be let go to find another career that does not involve working with people, let alone with children or other vulnerable groups such as those with disabilities.
