r/Maliciouscompliance My Professor Mocked a Disabled Student During Class!

r/Maliciouscompliance In today's episode, OP has dyslexia and joins a college class. OP is allowed to use digital devices due to ADA guidelines. However, when OP tries to bring this up to the professor, the professor flips out and criticizes OP in the middle of class, saying that disabled people don't deserve special treatment just because they were in special ed. When the professor says, "If you don't like it, drop my class," many students are happy to maliciously comply!

[@lisakaz35]

Those people exist but the point was also that people can use technology to not pay attention (read email; watch a video and such). That's a legitimate concern. But there's a difference between using a phone to cheat (perhaps) and using something to stay on task. Trying to spot the difference is challenging.

[@erickpoorbaugh6728]

While I can see what you’re saying, ultimately, students who choose not to pay attention won’t pay attention even without electronics (daydreaming, doodling, etc.). This is college, and it’s the students’ responsibility to be diligent in their own work. If a student spends class browsing the internet, that’s their choice, and will affect them when the tests or other assignments come, just like if a student chooses to cut class or ignore assignments (as many do) that’s their choice, and they have to live with the consequences as the adults they are. This isn’t grade school where your teachers and parents are watching over you to make sure you do the work-adults need self-discipline and if instead they goof off and fail a class, well, hopefully now they know to do better in the future. It's better than continuing to hold their hands until they get fired from work, etc.

As someone that had an IEP all thought Elementary, Middle and High school for ADHD, dyslexia and ASD. My dad had to fight and threaten the school system every damn year to get me the help I needed. Because I could most pass for " normal" despite my difficulties they would constantly try to drop my plan and remove my benefits ( I was supposed to have an aid with ME but the school made her be a general teachers aid and regularly tried to excuse removing her position to save money). It wasn't until 11th grade that I was able to have free reign to go to the special ed room for help with school work. This was between 98-2010...

[@QuiteSpiffing]

Yeah, and the only reason why they don't have accommodations in the "real world" is because of those same ableist douchebags. I hope to see the world change for the better in my lifetime, but with how bad capitalism had gotten over the past decades I don't think it will happen.

[@angeliki5135]

I can add to the many experiences shared here. I was documented as a asperger's kid with the rare case of being something of a genius but having a truly disabled social mind, something my high school counselor later nicknamed as error code 29. I didn't know it back then, but kids bond allot in homeroom class. The class the school specifically took us special ed kids away from everyone else to have extra time to study, or do tests in a room with other special ed kids. Now, I was deemed a mild case, meaning I could still attend the normal classes since I didn't have anything too serious. Just a learning disability that makes my thought process slower because I misunderstand things allot and get distracted easily. Zoom in 300% on that sentence. Now sharpen, and enhance. **Get distracted easily.** The school had this in their notes about me, and yet still thought it was a good idea to put me in a class full of other kids like me, who shuffle, talk outloud, walk around the class, bite pencils, and just in general make noise; for me to be in "quiet room" to focus on a test. It made me so mad they thought this was fair treatment for anyone with mild special ed needs, but at least I could request to go back to class where it **actually was quiet** and use my lunchtime to take a test in the now empty special ed room. Now the effect this had? I basically had no social life because 1. I was never there in homeroom to social because we were required to be with the other awkward kids 2. My lunchtime was now "catch up on test time" so I never got to socialize during lunch when I was in school (this led to what friends I did have to spread rumors and betray me) 3. The whole student body in general seemed to dislike any special ed kid, mild case or severe or even just a disability. They ignored us as if we were some disease. Avoiding eye contact, never saying hi when we wave at them cause we know them, and if they do there is an exaggerated (ugggggh) look on their face (I was too oblivious to notice so I just continued being positive and waving), and never talking to us unless we spoke to them. 4. The teachers. The. Teachers. Some were nice, then you had the ones that obviously had it out for you, didn't care you needed a toy clock beside you on your desk to help time management and also didn't let you wear your hat even though the school **principle** gave you special permission because they understood it boosted your confidence and you were going through a weird phase of not wanting them to see the baby hairs. It's things like that teachers don't understand about special kids. And it leads to almost every student doing the same in responding to us as if we are a bother, some disease to avoid, instead of an actual person. My experience was always more socially bad because of the rumors people would spread for no reason other then "she is retarded." I showed my quirkiness so early on by predicting it would rain, when the teacher asked how I said "I can speak to the sky." This was elementary and it caused some guy to call me a witch thats evil. I was right though, it did rain. I do not know what caused the rumors in middle school, probably that guy somehow ended up in the same school. But high school I suspect was because I never really showed up to lunch, and when I did this one girl ensured she got me to say something bad about someone because they did something she didn't like, she would then take my words and twist the situation around to make it seem like I hated everyone. So no one talked to me, no one even told me she was saying that. I found out 2 years later! *sigh* Hearing the story of the girl stand up for him, a mild special ed needs kid, filled my heart with warmth and happiness that there are people who would accept us special ed kids as we are. I just wish I could've met her or anyone similar when I was in high school, it would've taken allot of heart break away if I could have a friend like her. I'm happy she stood up for him. 😊❤

@@Oxios Indeed. Y'all are excellent. I've dealt with students with a number of issues and needed accommodations. I tried to work with 'em.

@@Oxios Maybe I should've reported my sociology teacher instead of just dropping... First day I was telling each teacher my accommodations.

But the worst thing was we would be working on one subject and area of the book and tell us what we would be going over next class and to read that chapter. Next class- he's doing an entirely different topic. He changed his mind or something without telling us and now I'm lost and confused because I read for this thing but we are going over something else. And I needed to have read it beforehand to understand better in class.

[@angeliki5135]

"You are not special even if you are in special ed." Can I just say, that phrase gose against the whole point of special ed. Special ed kids need the class because they require more attention, different tools, bending of the rules for either medical reasons or sanity reasons or to help calm their mentaliy and lots of patience. The fact he told off a student that requires that, shows that he is not accepting of special ed kids and shouldn't have been tolerated for as long as it has been. Props to that girl, I was hoping someone stood up to him and so someone did. As part of the special ed kid club (I have my documents as a special learning disability adult in college) I want to give my sincere thanks. It means allot to me to see people stand up for the rights of everyone, including special ed. Special ed kids were so overlooked, even looked down on; in my high school/middle school years. An act like this is one of those valuable gems that can help me sleep well at night, smile in the morning and have the warm feeling of hope. Thank you so much for the generosity, kindness, caring for the fairness/equality and bravery shown for standing up for that kid. May many good vibes be sent your way, along with the students who decided to leave on the kid's behave to support the confrontation to the professor. 😊 Thank you all for reading. ❤

[@chikncordonbleu]

I didn't have the same challenges as a kid, but have since had them as an adult. Both mentally with memory and learning, and physically becoming disabled. It's a different feeling and interaction. We aren't asking for much. But when someone blatantly disregards our accommodations, it's flabbergasting! I have become much more of an advocate for myself, and for those around me. It's been a journey. Most of the time, my disabilities are 'invisible'. But the sheer force of will it takes for someone like that girl in the first story to stand up for someone she doesn't even know? It brings tears to my eyes.

[@angeliki5135]

@@chikncordonbleu Tears of joy. I can understand you loud and clear because whenever I tell someone I have a learning/social disability, they do not believe me. Either they are trying to be polite and say "You seem normal to me" (which I take as a compliment because of how long it took for me to work on myself to understand the complicated vortex that is the human mind and social interactions), or they are being sarcastic and cheesy and don't actually mean it. Its all about the tone in their voice and how close they are to you, equals how much they care to say something nice that might boost your confidence in being yourself with them. Tell one of us "you seem normal to me" can be translated so differently by each individual, some of us like that we are quirky and get offended that its not seen how indifferent/different we are. Others feel upset because we see it as "oh so our disability is invisible and dosent matter to you", which is a understandable train of thought but can prove to be harmful to you and those around you who are trying to support you. And some few just laugh it off, having an understanding that it's inclusion (depending on the person, their bond to you, and the tone used) because people like to joke "what is normal anyways?" Sorry I went on a tangent. But I truly relate with your train of thought, the idea of our disabilities being invisible. But, I instead choose to see it as a compliment that represents just how much journaling my thoughts have worked, having someone I can vent every letter of every frustration has helped me to cope, and just how much having a creative outlet has allowed me to have room in my mind for more adult-like thoughts instead of abstract and distracting creative thoughts that will keep me holed up until I've made them become real in some shape or form. Its so much work to care for your mind, when your two hands are both left, you are wearing a blindfold and any instruction given to you only causes the opposite to happen. Trust me I know that deep hole, I've been in so many times and always had to remind myself that right is right and left is left, realign my morals by watching some psychological videos, and remind myself that my friends giving me instructions/advice do so because they care about me. Removing the blindfold is always the hardest part for me, because that blindfold is one of "I'm not worthy of these friends." And is a difficult thing for me to take it off and admit I am worthy to have friends, when my childhood was filled with nothing but bullies, rumors, and fake friends who lied and alienated/avoided me. Seeing someone not only step outside of their comfort zone to confront a teacher for someone who probably has gone through a struggle much similar to ours, but also dropped that class just to show the professor she'd rather not be there supporting his ideas of injustice was absolutely incredible. I hope they befriended her and went out for pancakes or something fun to get their minds off that teacher. Teachers like him are the reason why people like us have negative stigmas attached to us, because kids do what they see adults doing whether they are aware of it or not. A man like him shouldn't be a teacher, he lacks the understanding to see that a student needs a tool to work efficiently and instead of providing said tool, instead prohibited said tool! People like that girl are understanding just how many difficulties we have gone through as a small community that always felt rejected and unwanted just because we were told "you're too dumb" or "you learn differently" or "there is no way you're this talented" and because they cannot comprehend how our minds work, surely there's something wrong with *us?* No. There is nothing wrong with any of us, we just need the right tools, patience, kindness and some understanding. Maybe a gentle nudge of encouragement that is well meant. Someone like her is someone I'd love to befriend myself... *looks up* Oh my I've rambled again. My bad! Basically, I 100% relate to you and hope all gose well for you. And I while heartedly agree, that girl is amazing to be considerate to other and stand up for him. ❤

[@Ragehunger]

First story: I'm not even surprised by how little people care about the seriousness of breaking laws, especially federal laws, with the current toxic culture in the US. They're so quick to make their own opinions about things, but never takes the time to think if their opinions are even morally plausible until they're facing the repercussions. Way too many people have meandered their way into positions of power just to become bullies, and the fact that they can get away with it for years is nothing short of despicable. Every one that is weeded out is one less obstacle in the progression towards a better future. Second story: Anything involving business security should, as far as I'm concerned, pay pretty dang well for the job you have to perform. But as with any job, if they don't pay you properly, you have no obligation to put in quality work, let alone do any additional work outside of what's in your job description or outside working hours. It's sad if you have to resort to that kind of negotiation, but some snobby pencil-pushers just won't understand your requests through mere words. Third story: I sure hope cultural sexism will die out in a not-too-distant future along with all the old, decrepit and bigoted people who desperately clings to such outdated viewpoints. And to take it out on a _juvenile_ of all people is such a pathetic example of poor self-esteem. Allowing people like him to be in the presence of women at all is an insult to good men everywhere. Throw him into a pit of other men who values women as little as he does and let them brag about their patriarchal opinions among themselves for all it matters. Fourth story: Big yikes on the follow-up, but besides that fact it was a wholesomely devious act. At least OP created a hilarious moment out of an otherwise tedious task, and as someone who had to do household chores a lot in my childhood, I can understand that it doesn't always feel as rewarding as adults would make it out to be. Sometimes you have to spice up the tasks a little, or maybe add encouragement of some kind, in order to make the tasks feel satisfying. The end result isn't always what a kid seeks in tasks that they don't feel benefits or entertains them.

I remember reading about a bill that was passed in Alabama that would force kids to play in the "team matching their genetic sex". Well, okay, you'd think that's no big deal. Until you realize that the wording literally requires a DNA test of every single child, due to the various genetic abnormalities that exist. And the more you read it the worse it gets, to the point where people are going to end up lying about having cancer to get hormone therapy or some weird shit. That's just the last in the long list of laws that people just slapped together who had no clue what the hell they were doing.

That professor also broke a privacy rule of making the student talk about their disabilities infront of others. Tl;Dr: "woke" professor calls me out for having a disability and gets in trouble. I had an instance like that too actually. I took a gender studies class. (unfortunate and stupid tbh because it was hellish) usually on the first day, I wait till after class to speak to each of my professors about my disabilities and make sure they received the email from the student disabilities office. The professor started talking about the syllabus and then stopped. She looked around and said "someone in here has permission to record the lectures. Who is it?" Everyone looks around, a little confused. I was sitting on the front row sweating a little cause I was like wtf why would she ask that. She presses the question again and I shyly raise my hand. She looks at me and asked simply "why?" I hesitated as everyone was watching me now. So I stumble over my words but say "I have sickle cell and adhd. . . I need to record the classes because of my adhd." She said ok but then presses on, asking why. I reiterated it and said "its so I can keep track of the lecture for my notes. I listen to them again to make sure I got everything...." this was my senior year, I've never had ANY professor confront me infront of the entire class about why I record the lectured. She then retorted with "well i ask because we may talk about things that people have opinions about and I want everyone to know who's recording." And I just stared at her like why the fuck, literally no one else would hear the recording because there's no way for me to even upload the audio to my computer. And the class ain't important enough to put online anyways jesus. So after all that, I didnt speak to them after class because she did the job for me. I went straight to student disabilities(sds) about this and told them what happened. I told them about the first quiz of the class where she asks questions like pronouns, orientation, and what disabilities you have. The first two are fine but maybe unnecessary, but SDS said she was not allowed to ask about disabilities at all and what she did to me in class was absolutely a violation of privacy and SDS policies. Long story short, she was reprimanded and the entire department received training on ableism or some shit like that. I didnt want her to get fired or anything because I do like to educate people about Sickle cell but what she did was so uncalled for. I would've thought she'd have been woke enough to not call out a students disability infront of a class of 25 to 30 but this isn't the first time I've been disappointed lmfao. I have many more instances and stories from that class tbh. But some more fun facts about her. Shes an admin of AO3, she only married her husband and had kids to get into the states and actively hates the fact that I said "Hermione isn't a superhero" because she had a laptop cause that had all the women super heroes on it but Hermione was also there and said some shit like "my favorite super heroes"

I was like, excuse me? Then he repeated it if that was necessary to type with the Brailer in front of me. And it even says only accommodation letters that I prefer braille and he had to send me to the back of the class to use my Brailer and he has a talk very loud in order to get his point across during class. When he kept on saying that he hated my Brailer I wanted to leave the class but told myself on the inside that it was only just for six weeks and then once the six weeks were over I put in my teacher evaluation that what are you did was really bad and that when something is on the accommodation letter had to except it.

That story about the professor denying ADA accommodations hit me hard. I had two professors who treated me like shit cause I was an ADA student. One was seriously reprimanded. I should probably post this on reddit but if it does not get picked up on there then here it is: Dumb Professor One: Possibly Entitled? This particular professor was teaching an upper division pure math course at my university. Most of my class were retaking the course because the previous quarter’s professor was reeeaaally bad at teaching (about 50% of the class failed). Now I usually hand in my accommodation letters in person on the first day of a class. Most professors acknowledge the papers exist and put it away for further reading knowing that to speak of it in front of a class room violates the law. So, I go up to this professor one the first day and hand him my accommodation letters. In blue text on each letter says something akin to “You are not allowed to ask the student why they need these services as it breaks several laws”. He ignored this warning while glancing through my requested services. He paused at the accommodation section while looking the paper work over and asks me out loud, in front of the class, why I needed a note taker. I first tried to quietly explain that he is not allowed to ask. He wanted an answer though so I told him that I have an auditory learning disability and anxiety disorder. This means means that I have a really hard time processing stuff taught in class and that I needed someone to write everything down while I recorded the lecture. I would then go back to my dorm and study the material for hours, crafting beautiful perfect notes. Fortunately all went well after this exchange and despite his lack of teaching skills I barely passed. Real Analysis is really hard to understand if you have not prepared your brain for it ahead of time. Dumb Professor Two: Petty Revenge So I had to take Complex Analysis for my pure math degree at my university. Sadly only one teacher taught it and I had already had issues with him in a lower division class. So despite knowing what I was getting into, I signed up for it since I wanted my BA in pure math. Now this guy is a straight up narcissist. He dislikes students that don’t bow down to him or that he sees himself in. He wouldn’t offer to help during office hours if the students he deemed unworthy came to speak with him. Now, me being an outspoken advocate of my own health and others, we had bumped heads a few times in the lower division course and it was clear that the feeling of dislike was mutual. Well the final eventually happened and while I enjoyed the topic my grades were not great. I had numerous borrowed books from the library to fill in the holes left by his shitty teaching. I eventually got a pinched nerve and artery from carrying too many books. I studied hard for that class but had nothing to shows for it. My final grade would determine my overall grade as finals were generally like 50% or more in all math courses at the university. I studied like crazy and took the exam in a quiet room. I had an extra 1.5x class time to take the exam. I used it all. Now the testing room was really close to the classroom so I could see it on my way back to my dorm. As I am walking past it after completing my exam, when I saw the whole class exit the classroom. I stood there for a few seconds in utter confusion l. Why was I confused? Well students with testing accommodations receive extra time based on what a class gets. Thus if the class gets a time extension the teacher is legally responsible for informing the DRC (disability resource center) proctor that the overall time has changed and to edit the DRC student’s time to match whatever their extra allotted tome is. This guy...he did not do that. I asked a fellow peer wtf was going on and he told me the professor stated that it was unfair that DRC students got the extra time and that the whole class should “reap the benefits” of DRC students. I. Was. Pissed. I walked up to the professor and kindly asked him why the class got out at the same time as me. He repeats what the student said. I told him that was illegal. He basically bad mouthed me and I left crying. Later he replied to an email that I had sent regarding ADA laws. His reply was pages long and was just god awful. He claimed that he had been ignoring ADA laws for 11 YEARS. The rest of the email (which screamed that it was written by a narcissist) was his explanation of why he did it. He also didn’t believe that I was disabled and chastised me for abusing the system. He tore me apart in that email. He also didn’t believe that disabled people should be in the math program. Note that a ton of students in his class were in DRC as it turns out that most math enthusiasts are crazy af (its true) or have mental health problems as intelligence correlates to triggering anxiety and depression (hence why they say ignorance is bliss) in people. Look into the history of math and you will be surprised by the shear number of suicides, murders, and the number of mathematicians being committed to insane asylums. Math be crazy. Fed up with being treated like trash because I had medical and mental health issues, I marched straight over to the DRC and showed them my evidence of him breaking ADA laws. They were shocked. They sent me upstairs to the judicial department to get the issue sorted out. The people in the judicial department immediately sided with me once I told them the professor’s name. Apparently he was not liked by the math department and he had several issues with students over the years. Everyone hated him. When I showed the Judicial guy the email that the professor sent me he was flabbergasted. Just in awe at how ludicrous this guy sounded. The email turned out to be the final nail in the coffin. They immediately started working on finding an appropriate solution for me and a punishment for him. We worked with advising to edit my plan so that I would not have to take Complex Analysis (it was required for the degree but he was the only one who taught it). I replaced Complex Analysis with Topology after visiting rate my professor and seeing that the topology professor had very high ratings. My plan was updated and they filed an academic restraining order against him. Basically he could not approach, talk to, teach, or interact with me in any way. It was understood that if he broke the restraining order then the consequences would be very very bad. Happy with the resolution, I continued on to complete my BA in Pure Math. I very much enjoyed the Topology class and I actually got a really good grade. The professor for it was a sweet and kind man who drew lots of pictures He helped me when I needed itHe had a great sense of humor too. He was also the head of the math department at the time so he definitely knew about what happened. I miss that guy. Great teacher. Here’s hoping he’s still alive and well (he was a bit old) and enjoying life. Tldr; don’t be a dick teacher to anyone and honor disability requests. Ps: I really do enjoy complex analysis. I kept the book so that I could eventually teach it to myself. Once I am done with my topology notebook (its so shiny and pretty) I plan on creating notes for complex analysis. Also, I hope to be a college professor before I die as I really really wanna teach pure math (I even have a degree in education!) someday.

People should be taught that most bosses don’t give a flip about them and they shouldn’t feel obligated out of some sense of loyalty. Cause they’d drop you like a hot potato if they had to.

For many younger people and some older, the first few jobs are the ones you feel the most joy in doing and you want to do a great job, even if it means working a bit over what the clock says. In time, you learn you are only paid for the time you are there and no more. Very, very seldom are you rewarded for doing outstanding work. After all, you are paid to do outstanding work.

Scary thing about the college professor is that he was blacklisted from teaching at the college level but his teaching license was not revoked meaning there is a good chance he would go to teaching at a high school with children that unlikely to stand up for themselves when the IEPs for their learning disabilities are being ignored

That plagiarism story reminded me of this class I had in grad school.. we had this semester long paper and the idea was to submit it in increments but we had to submit it in addition to whatever we already had done. Our professor gave us a zero on one cause the system flagged it as plagiarism... because the content in this new submission was the same as our previous submission... OBVIOUSLY... the worst part was we had to explain it to our professor several times before they finally understood how dumb this was

I had an actual law school professor who I had to fight to be able to use my computer to take notes with in spite of having the disability accommodation. She wasn't as bad as this one as she didn't mock me. She just didn't believe that this was a genuine need that someone could have and thought the accommodation was made in error.

I have ADHD, dyslexia and am on the autism spectrum and went undiagnosed till I was 11. I struggled in school my whole life till I was diagnosed. It was hard for me to get through but I had a lot of really amazing and understanding teachers who helped me. (I even went to an alternative school for my core classes Sophomore year since the classes were smaller and allowed for easier one on one sessions, and again in Senior year) I remember my favorite teacher, she went farther than any other teacher did when it came to helping me. She would allow me to stay in her classroom for the first half of the school day instead of walking to my other classes so I could better focus, I could spend my free hour there and lunch. She learned one of the best ways to get me to do my work was to reward me with things I liked (sweets, soda, movies) and used those things as motivation for me. I could work on my work in her class in peace and if I managed to get my work done she would bring me things the next day. I would sit in her classroom during lunch and she would put on Romeo and Juliet for her and I to watch together as a reward for how well I did. She even wound up being the one to write my senior letter to me (Everyone from my school got a letter at graduation from someone in their life and you didn't know who wrote it till you read the letter) and when I read it for the first time and even now when I read it I cry because it makes me feel so happy that she never game up on me.

I’m autistic with ADA accommodations. I was absolutely floored by that professor’s statement. I have been discriminated against by ableist teachers and employers, but they have NEVER been that obvious about it. How does someone so dumb that they blatantly flaunt federal law in front of 30 or more witnesses get to be a professor?! How did they pass graduate school?!

Props to anyone who stands up to people with disabilities. Either handicapped, psychologically, medically or psychologically. I have medical and psychological disabilities and I have always been bullied for my differences. Not many people jump up to help us. We literally get shit 8 times out of 10. Thank you to those who don’t see us as aliens. Thank you for standing up for those who are disabled.

[@budgetDM]

My uncle worked at a university and heard a similar story to the ADA one. Apparently a professor had emailed a student saying that the professor had determined that the student was not in fact disabled and therefore did not require accommodations. Note that this professor was not an expert in health, medicine, law, or anything at all related to the ADA. As my uncle put it, "I'm sure the university's legal department was really happy that not only did he decide to break the law, but also created a paper trail with his decision to do so". I don't believe the professor was fired, but legal department did have a VERY SERIOUS DISCUSSION with him about he they would in fact be giving those accommodations. The legal department also sent out an email to every single university employee, including my uncle who worked in maintenance, about how the ADA was to be followed.
