[blindkid] Museum doesn't allow child to enter with cane

[Albert J Rizzi]

This seems to be highly irregular and I would think totally illegal. We
would not expect a child in a wheel chair to leave their chair at the door?
It seems like ignorance is afoot.

That is bizarre!  What is the name of the museum?

Has anyone ever been told their child can't enter a public place with their
cane? My daughter was told by a history museum she couldn't bring her cane
yesterday. I just found out today. Her father didn't know it was against
the law just that it was rude. He still paid admission and went in because
the kids were excited and didn't want to make a scene.

Has this ever happened to anyone else?  I know sadly this happends with
guide dogs but canes?
