Ellie comments: Why is it that everyone acknowledges that sick buildings disadvantage and disenfranchise students (and teachers) with asthma (and eventually everyone else) by making them sick and making them miss more school than any other group (and therefore education is arguably less usable/accessible) yet no one seems to take responsibility for protecting students and stopping the discrimination?
If the Department of Education or the Office for Civil Rights intiated a "compliance review" on this pattern of discrimination, where do you think the buck would stop?
