“It is a horrifying story, the school cannot discriminate against students”. Office H, which deals with issues related to all types of disabilities, and the Uil Pensionati dell'Area Vasta di Laconi intervene on the case of the student in a wheelchair who attends with no small difficulty the Liceo scientifico “Zappa-Pitagora” in Isili: a building where the bathroom for disabled people has not been accessible for 4 months.

"Who is responsible for making the toilets accessible for able-bodied and disabled students? - the two organizations highlight in a note - The second consideration concerns the application of the laws, which provide for the closure of a structure if the hygienic-sanitary conditions are not guaranteed, as usually happens when a school is closed because there is no water supply".

And again: "How can it happen that in a school you discriminate against a disabled student by reducing him to a role of inferiority and humiliation to the point of preventing his attendance?". In recent days, the girl's mother, an 18-year-old resident in Laconi, reported the incident. She had said that her daughter had often had to stay home because her personal assistant was missing, which is why she could not use a normal bathroom with the janitors, the only one available to her. The director Marco Saba had explained that the bathroom for disabled people is not accessible due to work in progress. And that to make changes to the one in the gym, authorization from the Province of Southern Sardinia was needed.
