Apparently I am having trouble with reading comprehension. I see no mindless rant about Communism/whatever the fad in that post. Non-standard reading comprehension FTL.

You must have linked to the wrong post, because I don't see any "mindless rant about Communism/whatever the fad is now" in that post. Perhaps the post you thought you read exists only in your head?
EDIT: ninja'd by jesslla.

I'm sorry if you have trouble understanding the purpose of a simile.

Guh, more reading failure. No one was MAKING this person take English. They were encouraging her, merely because she had expressed an interest in it, and in spite of a bunch of issues that made it pretty much contra-indicated. If my blind person had insisted on majoring in Art History, do you think that is something she should have been encouraged to do? Or at some point, does someone need to say, "Uh, dude, if you can't see the paintings, it is going to be a bit difficult for you to write essays about them"?
Wouldn't that depend upon what kind of blindness your student had, and how profoundly blind he or she was, and why he or she wanted to take Art History? There are blind artists. I even recently heard of an exhibition entirely made up of the work of blind photographers. Most of these people were "legally blind": they could still see, but needed a lot of help. In fact, one said that he used a camera as a sight aide: he took photographs of things and *then* he could see them. Blindness and Arts
I'd want to be very careful before I ruled an entire field of knowledge off-limits to everyone with a certain disability.
