Chicago Schools Pull Dumbest All-Time Stunt. The Blind & DRIVER'S ED!

Irwin Mainway: “Look. It says right here: NOT FOR BLIND KIDS! How could you miss that?”

If a person has a condition which precludes them from obtaining a driving licence (whether that’s a visual impairment, uncontrolled epilepsy or narcolepsy or quadriplegia) they shouldn’t have to take the class.

An alternative class like “Pedestrian Safety 101 or How To Cross The Street” or something, fine. A class specifically designed for drivers, not so much.

It’s not fucking rocket science that learning about what road signs mean and what to do at various coloured traffic lights isn’t going to be of much use if you can’t see the signs, don’t know what colours are and are prohibited from ever sitting behind the wheel of a car!

Presumably if one should ever be in a position to obtain a licence, there are many handy, helpful resources available on driving theory which you can avail of. Desperately trying to remember stuff you learned 20 years ago in High school, probably isn’t the best one.
