I'll agree that this may well be heartbreaking, but would suggest looking a little deeper before assigning blame.

First of all, I would like to apologize, I was not meaning for what I wrote to be offensive, but I mean the way the teacher worded it, he/she did not say something like, It may be harder to work with this type of person, but instead the teacher said "Are you sure you want to have this person in your class? You know he is disabled right?" I feel that his way of addressing this is very offensive.

I made the following edit after gluxon's comment below:
EDIT: I Digress, It is not my authority to critique people's way of wording things, or how people handle situations. I am just asking for help, I should not be accusing anyone of anything. Please forgive me.
