Wow. Kerry went for the crowd-pleaser and picked Edwards. I’m actually a bit shocked. I thought we might get Gephardt, and apparently so did the New York Post. Oops. I think this choice could really help spread the fight to states that might not otherwise be in play. I’m not expecting the Dems to pick up Virginia or South Carolina, but it might force the Bush campaign to expend resources in places that would typically be safely in the red column. I’m sure the GOP will attack his lack of experience and his work as a trial attorney, but I don’t see either argument sticking. Bush had only a couple years of political experience when he assumed the presidency. And Edwards’s trial work was mostly on behalf of injured plaintiffs, not representing big *cough* Haliburton *cough* industry. I’m looking forward to the VP debates.
Here’s an article written by a recent college graduate describing her experiences as a student with a disability. Sounds like we both dealt with some clueless professors. I had an advisor tell me to consider not taking French because it was in an inaccessible building. I had a logic professor who didn’t believe that students with disabilities should receive time extensions on exams. But I don’t think I ever encountered the discrimination and cruelty mentioned in this article. Makes me second-guess my own characterizations of my alma mater as conservative and provincial.
I never had any trouble with my professors; I was lucky in that. Many of them went out of their way to make sure I knew I would be accommodated, offering me extra time on exams (even though that wasn’t an accommodation I asked for), making special arrangements for certain labs without being asked, etc. This was a East Coast liberal elite school though, and that may have made a difference.
I had enough problems with certain administrative types to make up for it, though. I heard a steady stream of “You can’t take this!” “You can’t major in that!” “You can’t have an aide in the classroom!” and “You can’t have an aide in your dorm room overnight!”. One actually suggested I transfer to a community college for two years to take care of the physical education requirement there, and then just transfer the credits when I returned. Yeah, right. I wasn’t about to fall for that.
