华盛顿州贝灵汉市（Bellingham）的 11 岁男孩卢卡斯（Lucas Goodwin）患有自闭症以及自身免疫性疾病。他的母亲丹妮尔 · 古德温（Danielle Goodwin）向他将要入读的 Whatcom 中学说明情况后，希望老师能照顾到他的特殊情况，为他安排一个安静的座位。
可当卢卡斯跟随母亲走进新学校，准备迎接崭新的中学生活时，却发现，他的课桌竟被安排在了厕所间！

"Sad, stressed, embarrassed," said Lucas Goodwin. "I was like how is this happening? How am I in the bathroom? Why?"

The look of disgust is clear on Lucas Goodwin ’ s face in the photo his mom took when they came to school on Monday to find his new quiet learning place, in a functioning bathroom. The 11-year-old ’ s desk was over a toilet.
周一，卢卡斯 · 古德温和妈妈来到学校，发现他新的安静的学习场所被安置在了一间功能齐全的卫生间里。这名 11 岁男孩的桌子被安在了马桶上面。在他妈妈为他拍摄照片中，男孩的脸上满是厌恶。
Danielle Goodwin said the teacher also gave him a camping mat to nap on the bathroom floor.
丹妮尔 · 古德温说，老师还给了他一张露营垫，让他在厕所的地板上午睡。
"I was stunned," said Danielle Goodwin. "I was so shocked I just took the picture because I didn ’ t believe what I was seeing."
" 我惊呆了，" 丹妮尔 · 古德温说道。" 我太震惊了，我拍了这张照片，因为我不相信我所看到的。"
When they found the desk in the bathroom, Danielle Goodwin asked if there was another option, she said the teacher said no.

卢卡斯的妈妈告诉当地电视台，由于卢卡斯所患有的自身免疫性疾病，他不能待在满是细菌的场所，那会对他的身体造成很大的影响，于是她当即将儿子带回了家。
"My son was humiliated, embarrassed, and disgusted at this inhumane suggestion that he work in a bathroom," she said.
她说：" 我的儿子感到羞辱、尴尬，对这种让他在厕所间学习的不人道建议感到厌恶。"

古德温家雇佣的律师香农 · 麦克米尼米（Shannon McMinimee）说，卢卡斯此前从来没有遇到过类似的问题，他可以去图书馆或其他合适的安静的场所学习。
"I can't believe that there was anybody that thought this was a good idea," McMinimee told CNN. "There's a lot of different ways you can accommodate students with disabilities without humiliating them."
" 我不敢相信有人认为这（在厕所学习）是一个好主意，" 麦克米尼米告诉 CNN。" 有很多不同的方式可以在不羞辱残疾学生的情况下为他们提供帮助。"

而贝灵汉公立学校监督人格雷格 · 贝克（Greg Baker）在回应此事件的声明中表示，这个厕所间是用作储藏室而非使用中的厕所。
The idea of putting Goodwin's son there was "an example of staff trying to seek a solution to temporarily repurpose a room," Baker said.
贝克说，把古德温的儿子安置在那里的想法是 " 工作人员试图暂时改变房间用途、寻找解决方案的一个例子 "。
Due to limited state funding "schools often have limited space to meet students' instructional and social-emotional needs," he said.
由于州政府资金有限，" 学校通常只有有限的空间来满足学生的教学和社会情感需求，" 他说道。

对此，拥有 15 年处理教育法相关案件从业经验的麦克米尼米表示，学校首先应该做的是向古德温一家道歉，而她已经开始了侵权索赔。 6park.com
