Stuffed in a box of stiff rules

I just read the comments on the article about my experience at the GRE. First some clarifications.

THE FIRST THING I DID WAS NOTIFY THE PROCTOR OF MY MEDICAL DEVISE.

secondly, IT IS NOT ABOUT WHETHER I FOLLOWED THE RULES - IT IS ABOUT HOW THE RULES ARE UNFAIR TO DISABLED STUDENTS.

why should i have to appeal to anyone to WEAR A MEDICAL DEVISE REQUIRED FOR ME TO LIVE?

it isn't about whether i followed the rules, it's about whether the rules are fair to begin with.

i never thought this article would cause such hatred and misunderstanding. it's just example of how people don't understand the lives of disabled people everywhere.

everyone will eventually be disabled by something at some point in their lives, it's nothing to have a chip about, but it is something to understand.

in addition, this just evidences how people can't understand anything outside the norm. they can't conceptualize a society different and more accepting of difference. this is how segregation happened in our country. this is how people were excluded on the basis of their skin. do we forget already that once African Americans couldn't register to vote because they didn't pass the limitus test that defined citizenship. would you say then that they should have followed the rules? obeyed? should they have not sat at the counters of Woolworth in protest? all you law students claiming i should follow the rules don't understand the true purpose of law. law is about interpreting rules and creating new codes from those interpretations. law isn't set in stone. law is living like language. it ebbs and flows with the time. we aren't stuck in some unchanging stone age of backwardness where we can't conceptualize new ways of being. no, instead we are perfectly capable of creating new rules so as that more people have access to this society. but some people shake in their boots when they hear mention of the word change. well let the wind blow people, because it's coming.

so all you lovers of rules, recheck your priorities.

in addition, there were two other test takers in the room. neither of them heard my pump beep because it was muffled. one of the test takers had head phones on, so he didn't hear anything.

and why should i explain myself to these people? after all, THIS IS NOT ABOUT ME AS INDIVIDUAL. INSTEAD THIS IS ABOUT A SYSTEM THAT FAILS TO INCLUDE EVERYONE IN A FAIR, JUST, MANNER.

i'm not backing down just because the status quo is pouting that someone finally spoke up.
