Aren't there laws that protect individuals against discrimination? Don't those laws apply to the educational field as well? Or is it that nobody pursues it?

RD - Deaf edcuational is a massive political arena. In my experience, most mainstream administrative bodies are extremely uneducated in the field of deafness. Lets' face it, unless you have a desire to learn about it or know someone personally, very few people are aware of the needs and issues of a deaf child.
The quality of deaf education has been a topic of discussion for years. Parents do not enroll the children in the local deaf school here for many reasons, one being their views of the quality of education. Post secondary is very competative, I am not versed in the entrance requirements for Gally, but mainstream here is extremely cut throat. 1/2% can make or break your acceptance.
Then you need to look at Gally itself.
and on and on.........
