Hey! Are you blind or something? I’m driving here!”

Until recently, screaming this on the roadways at other vehicles was just exaggerated road-rage rhetoric.

But now, thanks to the misguided concerns of the Chicago Public School system, it’s a legitimate question.

The state of Illinois only requires high schools to offer driver’s education courses. Whether or not those courses are required for graduation is left to individual districts.

And it’s a good thing Chicago requires all students to pass driver’s ed, otherwise some terrible drivers could end up on the roads.

The schools are so concerned with roadway safety, legally blind students must pass the course.

That’s right — blind.

Visually impaired students — who cannot legally pass the required visual tests to obtain a license — still must pass the course according the Chicago school district ruling.

This is not only stupid, but demeaning. It highlights the gap between students with disabilities by forcing participation in a class they are bound to struggle with.

Mayra Ramirez, one of the many blind students enrolled in the course, told the Chicago Tribune, “It does give us the feeling we’re different. In a way, it brought me down, because it reminds me of something I can’t do.”

What’s next? Requiring paraplegics to participate in the high jump or mutes to join the choir?

At least one person working with the Board of Education has her wits.

“It defies logic to require blind students to take this course,” Meta Minton, spokeswoman for the state Board of Education, told the Tribune.

But until more people raise a concern — only about 30 students have voiced official concerns — Chicago Public Schools can keep motoring along with such a horrible idea.

At least their eyes will be on the road — we hope.
