I think this is a better explanation of the situation: https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/27/us/connecticut-aleysha-ortiz-...
It seems like she needed special ed assistance with reading that she unfortunately wasn't getting.

    I haven't read enough of the site to ascertain their political persuasion, but I'm allergic to the writing style. I notice...

    yeah the moment I saw
    > California governor’s office candidate Matt Mahan told me about the Third Grade Reading Gate when I first met him last year. It’s how I knew he was legit and focused on the right things.
    that put the rest of it in perspective for me

Should be noted her actual lawsuit did not mention anything about not being able to read, it's suing her case manager for bullying

  There seem to be two lawsuits. The more relevant one is that she is apparently now suing the school for negligence.

> In early education, teachers told her to “stay in a corner and sleep” or “draw pictures for them.” In high school, she relied on speech-to-text programs for every assignment. Teachers knew. Administrators knew. Nobody did anything. Now she’s a freshman at UConn studying public policy — and she still can’t read the textbooks.
Sounds like everyone else failed. Every single other person failed. A:Not(I)~>Fail(A).
