Suzuka Aoki Goes to School

As a Japanophile and a parent of a child with a disability, I am very interested in how people with disabilities are treated in Japan. Mainichi has a report today about a cute little girl named Suzuka Aoki who requires frequent daily care for a larynx condition. Suzuka's parents had to sue the municipal government to allow her to attend a public nursery school.

Thankfully, the Tokyo District Court compelled the school to accept Suzuka and the city will be providing appropriate care for Suzuka at school.
