School bans 7-year-old blind girl's cane (m.nzherald.co.nz)

I saw this article elsewhere, or something similar. It's the responsibility of the people who CAN see to observe and watch out for the cane, not the girl's responsibility to worry about not tripping other people.
Also, the article said that she'd have an adult attending to her. How the heck is she supposed to develop any sort of independence, or autonomy if she's got a goon from the school bossing her around? This is utter sighted-person bullshit.

It is, and that's what's lame about it. Totally unfair on her.

Can we please talk about how ridiculous this is!? It's incredible how they even think about such a thing!

Agreed. It's like all common sense went out oh the window.

I honestly hope her parents didn't allow that to happen! There has to be some consumer agency that will help them out with the process. This is just unacceptable.
