Do you honestly believe that it’s ableism for a random person trying to teach kids a creative outlet of painting to not be equipped to teach someone with a severe learning disability or someone who is completely paralyzed? They could have the best intentions in the world and still not have the experience, equipment, and additional resources to take something like that on. There are entire industries and academic programs specializing in both to teach those skills.
How is considering someone who is comatose or non-responsive not arguing in good faith? Because you’d rather pretend they don’t exist for the sake of your argument?
How is taking a hypothetical situation and trying to apply it to a real-world situation a strawman? I’m not misconstruing or misrepresenting the original position in any way, am I? I’m just thinking about it beyond a surface-level complaint to find an actual solution.
