Scott incorrectly states:

You falsely assume that all disable students are equal, and that all of

KMAN does nothing of the sort. You just keep reading it that way.
Surely from everything he's said thus far, you can't believe that of
him.

Quite so. I have stated, quite specifically (as Scott is aware) that there
are students with disabilities who have the same or better intellectual
capacity as non-disabled peers and obviously they belong in the same
classroom since they will benefit from the same curriculum.

As I have also explained, perhaps more than a dozen times, for those who do
not have the intellectual capacity to benefit from the "mainstream"
curriculum, it is a totally appropriate reaction to space out or act out
when being humiliated on a daily basis by having to sit through day after
day of curriculum that is for someone else and you are just there filling up
space.
