Jason Robertson (August 28, 1980 - September 4, 2003) was an AIDS activist. He became a symbol for the rights of children with AIDS at age 7, when he sued for, and won, the right to attend regular classes at his elementary school.
Biography
Robertson was diagnosed with AIDS, which he contracted through blood products used to treat his hemophilia, in 1986. After the diagnosis, he was initially tutored at home, then in a trailer on the grounds of Prather Elementary School in Granite City, Illinois, where he was taught in isolation. He became lonely and asked to join regular classes. After the school refused, his family filed a lawsuit and a federal court ruled in his favor under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. On his first day walking to school after the ruling, Robertson and his mother were surrounded by protesters chanting "back to the trailer"; a group of children from the school responded with chants supporting Jason.
In July 1988, Robertson appeared, along with another young AIDS activist, Ryan White, at a benefit concert by Elton John Robertson's family found that the environment in Granite City remained hostile—on one occasion Robertson's mother was struck in the head by a man unhappy about him returning to school in the fall—and the family decided to move. They relocated to South Roxana, Illinois, where the school district agreed to treat Jason as a regular student, and (despite some limited protests) the community reception was more accepting.
