I think this kid's mom was mentioned in the Atlantic article [1] the link in the post is based on.

> Other accommodations risk putting the needs of one student over the experience of their peers. One administrator told me that a student at a public college in California had permission to bring their mother to class. This became a problem, because the mom turned out to be an enthusiastic class participant.

Woof.
