The reason the parents asked for their quadraplegic son to be excused from attending the Diwali celebration was their knowledge that the Hindu teachings regarding karma and reincarnation are that if a person is born disabled it is seen as a punishment for sins committed in a previous life. You'd think the teachers would have had the sense to realise that including a severely disabled child in such a subject would be the height of insensitivity. But no, they add insult to injury by then publicly humiliating the lad.
