"Help! I'm being repressed!"

[avram]

So there's this news story that I'm seeing people link to, about a college student suing her school under the Americans With Disabilities Act because the school won't let her keep her pet ferret in the dorm, and she needs the ferret to calm her during panic attacks. And yeah, I'm thinking how odd that the school is actually enforcing that policy. RIT had a birds-and-fish-only dorm pets policy, and our hall was full of pet rabbits and cats. The security people would walk past seeing you playing with a cat, and they'd smile and say "Nice goldfish you got there" and walk on. No problem.

Anyway, the bit I haven't seen anyone mention is that the school is called Our Lady of the Lake University. Do they let the students keep swords?

but there's gotta be a line somewhere

ferrets are wild animals though. you can't even have those in apartments in most cities without a license. there might be a legal issue there.

marmots . . . ugh.
