Furthermore, one can argue that an adult ed program should have no obligation at all to provide signers. "Reasonable accommodation" by an adult ed program run by a nonprofit could just involve allowing a deaf student to bring his own signer to class, at the student's expense. Why should the school, i.e., the other students, be required to pay? You can argue it either way.
But where does it all stop? Do adult ed programs have to pay for describers, who can describe for a blind student what is written on a blackboard? Do theaters have to pay for both signers for the deaf and describers for the blind?
