You have one specific experience with one child and one school. I've been in both private and public schools, and have seen my relatives in both. There wasn't much of a difference in the concentration of people with disabilities between the two.

Children with disabilities require more services. Makes perfect business sense to deny them entry. Capitalism at work, Tim.

1 - It doesn't make perfect sense if you can charge more to cover the extra costs.

2 - Religious schools, and possibly private non-religious schools are also motivated by their mission to educate. Religious schools in particular are not run as completely capitalist entities. They rely on subsidies and donations, and often do not charge as much as they could.
