10 feb 1920 año - Wisconsin Supreme Court denied education to a student with cerebral palsy
Descripción:
The Court justified this denial of education by saying that the students “produced a depressing and nauseating effect upon the teachers and school children” (Smith, 2004). The Wisconsin case is not only reflective of the exclusive education system of the time but also the stigma surrounding individuals with disabilities. Society viewed individuals with disabilities as burdensome as well as repellent, as reflected in the Court’s word choice of “depressing” and “nauseating.”
