Helen Keller removed from school curriculum as a Nazi/fascist state forms

[misssylviadrake]

As each piece falls into place each morning and I see more signs i.e., concrete conditions, laws, attitudes of Nazi and/or fascist  states I grow more alarmed and depressed as I see how helpless the majority of the US population is against this -- and to say for now is to imply this will be easy to undo. Far from it, for this state has been forming

I fully totally, whole-heartedly concur with the opinion expressed in this article. My sister is disabled: she suffers from Down Syndrome and now from epilepsy (as a development of the characteristics of this syndrome). Our parents have always considered both of us as "normal". And I think of her as "normal" as well - probably able in matters in which I just paddle and then drown myself. I know now that my opinion is not the same for all in France - especially the medical world and the social services, which are stringent, harsh, controlling.

Like the late 1930s

Amazing that Texas would remove Helen Keller from the Texas school curriculum: she was a socialist but most schoolrooms evade that by focusing on her childhood and adolescent experience in her memoir-I know this from the students I have had who want to write papers on Helen Keller. Perhaps it is also that they don’t want people to know that the disabled can function as the abled with the right supports? Trying to erase Hilary Clinton is more plausible or understandable (given the right wing mindset) but in the end, you can’t. Truth has a way of outing itself
