Lina got so furious that she almost prepared to fight them with her pregnant belly.
Grace stopped her best friend and looked at Nelson Corbyn again. âNelson, do you want to suffer this injustice and have your mommy suffer it with you? Youâre still a kid. You canât bear too much burden.
But Aunt Lina and I can help you solve these problems.â
Kyla also spoke to her son with sign language, asking him to tell the truth.
Nelson Corbyn finally told Grace in sign language that his classmates had bumped into him on purpose. After he fell, they snatched his hearing aid and wanted to crush it. He only fought to get his hearing aid back!
âDo they often do that to you?â asked Grace.
Nelson Corbyn nodded.
âWhy? Is there a reason?â asked Grace.
Nelson Corbyn continued to speak in sign language. Graceâs nose could not help feeling sore after understanding it. Kyla suddenly hugged her son while crying. âIâm sorry⦠Iâm sorry!â
understand what Nelson Corbyn had just said. She could only ask Grace anxiously, âWhatâs Nelson saying? Why is Kyla crying like that?â
Grace said with a heavy voice, âNelson said that the kids he fought with today often bully him in class.
They say that his motherâs an ex-convict and that heâs disabled, so he doesnât deserve to be in the same classroom as them.â
Linaâs eyes widened as she listened. She did not expect third graders to⦠behave like this. She thought children this age should be simple, but nowâ¦
Should Nelson be discriminated against because Kyla was falsely accused and sent to prison and because he could not hear?
Just then, Linaâs phone rang. She answered the phone and heard Hadwin Stephensonâs voice from the other end of the line. She immediately sobbed nasally, âHadwinâ¦â
Hadwin Stephenson, who was on the other end of the line, heard Lina crying and immediately asked, âLina, whatâs the matter? What happened?â
However, Lina had no idea how to tell Hadwin Stephenson what had happened here, so Hadwin Stephenson only said, âWhere are you now? Iâll come over!â
âI⦠Iâm at the discipline office in Nelsonâs school,â said Lina.
Hadwin Stephenson knew about Nelson Corbynâs school. It was just next to Kylaâs store.
Hadwin Stephenson hurriedly ended the call. After Lina ended the call, the married couple immediately said sarcastically, âWhatâs the matter? Are you calling someone here? It doesnât matter if someone else comes. Speaking of which, disabled people should go to schools for disabled people. If the school accepts disabled students, others will probably wonder when it became a school for the disabled!â
Graceâs face darkened. âSir, please be polite. Youâre already suspected of discrimination by saying that!â
âWhatâs the matter? I donate a lot of money to this school every year. Donât I have the right to think that some students arenât fit for this school?â the man said haughtily.
The woman nearby also said to the teacher, âI donât want to see disabled students and my son in the same class. If you insist on letting this child attend your school, we will no longer donate to this school.
Iâm certain a lot of parents wonât want their children in the same classroom as a disabled child.â
