If you think the school faculty should give up and decide she should be allowed on the team, I don't have a problem with that.  They have apparently had 3 years to do that have not done so.

I do have a problem with a court forcing the school to allow her on the team which is where they are now.

It's a shame it had to come down to being a legal matter.  She sounds like a great kid who has worked very hard to overcome her disabilities and participate in a number of activities.
Seems to me to be just another case of a school district having no sense when evaluating a single unique situation....aspirin = heroin, plastic spork = deadly weapon, etc.

She's going to have some tough decisions on her hands. I mean when, Bob, Matt, Russel, Curt, Rod, Bud, Art, and Phil all ask her out to the prom.

I see what you did there and I'll see you in hell since I chuckled a little inside.

What do you call a cow with no legs?

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

how do you take a dog with no legs for a walk? ... you don't-you take him for a drag.

I heard the cheerleading coach offered the girl a position as the manager/watergirl, and let her give the squad a hand but...

I agree....these jokes would be deserving of a major facepalm.....that is, if she had palms....

Joe goes to pick up his blind date at her house and when he gets there he finds out she has no arms and no legs. He's a good sport, so he picks her up, puts her in his car, and takes her to a movie. When the movie's over, he picks her up again and puts her back in the car.

She says, "Do you have any rope in the car?"

He says, "Rope? Why yes, I have some rope."

She says, "Do you know that big old oak with the real low limb down the dark corner of the park?"

Joe says, "Yeah."

She says, "Why don't you take us there?"

When they get there, she has Joe get out the rope, undress her, and then she gives him explicit instructions how to use the rope to suspend her from the limb. And then, they proceed to have the wildest sex that Joe has ever had. When they're done, Joe drives her home, carries her inside, and puts her on the living room couch.

As he's leaving, her father grabs him by the arm and says, "Here, son," and goes to hand Joe a hundred dollars.

Joe says, "I can't take that, sir."

Her father says, "Please, son, take the money."

Joe says, "I can't, sir. You see ... I had sex with your daughter."

Her father says, "Of course you did. But at least you didn't leave her hanging from that damn tree!"
"It's good, though..."
