It'd be like banning peanuts at the dome because someone might have an allergy. If you have an unfortunate allergy you're just going to have to deal with it. If society has to make an occasional change to suit them then fine, but to change culture based on one person seems rediculous.

Wow ... I think the word you were looking for was "alive". I don't think "comfortable" really represents the gravity of the situation. I respect that you have a different opinion, but that line of thinking can lead to tragic consequences if you don't take something like that seriously.
Couple points to make on the disabled kid:
1. I don't know the class at all so I shouldn't make assumptions, but I imagine there are kids that are just as disruptive if not more in the class that don't get complained about because they are "normal". Like I said, I shouldn't make assumptions, but having worked with the disabled in the past I can tell you time and time again people will complain about somebody who is different from them all the while tolerating worse behaviour from somebody who is more like them.
2. This sounds like the unfortunate reality of the school system where there are too many kids and not enough teachers to handle issues like this. Sure it's easy to demand the kid gets more specialized care, but the fact probably is that there is no other class. Who's going to pay for it?
