Here's how special education works...

The multidisciplinary assessment team gets together and determines that the student has "a condition/disability."

Then they recommend that, since the student has a condition, s/he needs a special class (conveniently located on the far end of the campus).

The student will be removed (i.e., excluded) from the general education population for a certain percent of the day [solely] because of that condition?

Isn't that, um, kind of, a violation of his or her civil rights?

Not to get all intense about it or anything, but gee, the system identifies students with disabilities and systematically excludes them based soley on that disability?

I'm not a lawyer or a card-carrying member of the ACLU or anything, but, is this a fair question?
