“Mayra Ramirez scored an A in driver’s education this year, but sitting through the 10-week class felt like a bad joke to the Curie Metropolitan High School sophomore. Ramirez is blind. She knows she’s never going to drive. She can think of a lot of things she’d rather be studying than rules of the road, but she didn’t have a choice.” (Chicago Tribune, Friday)
Such misguided policy is hardly a surprise.
