High school disobeys ruling on student's service dog

At a public high school in Westbury, New York, a deaf student who uses a service dog has endured a long battle against the school system. When the school refused to let him use the dog, the teen filed a federal lawsuit. Inexplicably, the court ruled against him, despite federal law clearly being on his side. Then he took his case to the state's Human Rights Division.

Now the Human Rights Division has ruled in favor of allowing the dog. The commission correctly pointed out that New York law "prohibits educational institutions from denying access to their facilities to people with disabilities."

How does the school respond? By disobeying the Human Rights Division's ruling.

The school is still refusing to allow the 15-year-old student to use his service dog, even though the commission clearly stated what the law is.

The taxpayers there must be pretty damn fed up with having to pay for a school system that doesn't even follow the law. (I'm from Campbell County, Kentucky, so I know what that's like.)
