Excerpt from Inland Valley Daily Bulletin: (click for entire article)
A disabled student has filed a lawsuit against the Chino Valley Unified School District alleging that he's been barred from Ayala High School's baseball program due to his disabilities.
The student, David Barker, is deaf and has cerebral palsy and controlled seizure disorder. Despite his physical limitations he's played baseball since he was 9, according to court documents.
The boy is seeking a judge's order to force the school to allow him to participate with the baseball team, said his attorney, Jason Ryan Thompson.
"They don't want to let him physically participate with the team at all," Thompson said. "They feel he didn't score high enough in tryouts, and that's that."
