Some things just disgust me...
Found this on thewillow's journal: the-willow.insanejournal.com/877286.html
I think this would be horrifying for ANYONE to read. It is especially horrifying to me, as a sister of a person with Down syndrome (my second to youngest brother). My family was and is blessed with an AWESOME community and group of teachers and specialists. The thought that people could treat other people that way, that they could treat CHILDREN that way, makes me violently ill. It hurts me to think that now, today in 2009, people are still so uneducated, so disrespectful and so uncaring. Go read goddamn Dr. Suess: A person's a person, no matter how small. And if people still think that this treatment of human beings with special needs can be tolerated, than I am honestly afraid for the future.
