W...I see your point, Bill and it's well taken.<br /><br />What I loved about this story, however, is that she is so well accomplished and earned the title - far too often there are patronizing stories about PWD - this kid is a valedictorian and in general has achieved so much...that I wanted to highlight that on here.<br /><br />It's pretty hard to find content without ableism - oh wait, isn't that the problem? LOL<br /><br />Wishing you a happy Easter!<br />RuthRuthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00170658770134559035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31220410.post-40233428390738284982013-03-31T08:20:10.668-04:002013-03-31T08:20:10.668-04:00This is a nice story that makes me feel uncomforta...This is a nice story that makes me feel uncomfortable. In my view the report verges on inspiration porn. Am I being too much of a hard ass? The mother for example was given an negative forecast for her daughter's future. This was brought up and ignored. Ugh, woke up cranky this Easter morning. william Peacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00223601480542461802noreply@blogger.com
