If you have a child that is visually Impaired, How can they be turned down from a school that is for the blind

Question

I have a son that is visually impaired, and because he has hepititis c they turned him down to go to the school for the visually impaired but if they would have read up on it they would have found out that they can't get it but through the blood only.What do you guys think of this, I need some help?

Answer 1

Depending on the country you are in, there may be laws against discriminating based on diseases. I believe that these laws exist in America. If that is the case, you should look up the law, and write back saying that they are breaking the law, and threaten to sue them if they don't reverse their decision.

If your country does not have any law, then the best you can do is inform them about how Hepatitis C is spread, and hope that they change their minds. You would think that a school for the blind would be more understanding.
