Should Education For Disabled Children Should Not Be Disabled?

Firstly, an argument which does not support the thesis statement is that education rights for disabled children should not be sacrificed. They have equal rights to education just like the majority. Education is a fundamental human right and essential for the exercise of all other human rights. It promotes individual freedom and empowerment and yields important development benefits.
