The Wheelchair Bound are Toast

Westminister High School in Carroll County, Maryland apparently isn't buying into that "Leave No Child Behind" stuff. During a fire drill, they left the school's two wheelchair bound students at the top of the stairs to fend for themselves. And that's the policy at the school. Get the other students out, and leave the kids in wheelchairs on the second floor until firefighters arrive. Parents think the logical solution is to move the kids to ground floor classrooms. The school doesn't like that idea because it's inconvenient getting the two kids to the lunch room on the second floor. Wow. Left behind in case of fire and forced to eat school food. These kids can't get a break. (KSBW)
