I couldn't agree more with this article.  I've been teaching part time at one of the colleges in their engineering technology programs.  I have had classes where upwards of 20% of the students have some sort of special needs accommodations, anything from requiring extra time on tests to having a service dog for comfort at all times to having students be able to set their own due dates for assignments.  The number of students who are on anxiety medication is frightening!

I don't know what is going on but we are under specific orders to accommodate even the most rediculous requests or we risk the personal liability of being hauled before a kangaroo court at the Human Rights Commission and having to hire our own legal defence in that case.

How these people ever will be able to hold down a job is a mystery to me, but that question is also taboo at the college where the councilling department seems to now be running the show.
