Day Nine of Get it Down–Prejudice Rears its Ugly Head

Get It Down; 31 for 21

Barbara Curtis over at Mommylife lives in a nice, liberal community. A place you would expect to be forward-thinking and progressive in its treatment of all people, regardless of race, economic status, and cognitive ability. But you would be wrong. Prejudice against the mentally challenged is strong in that community. Read her account of the story and see if it doesn’t just infuriate you like it did me.

We wish you the best, Barbara, as you take on this school district that, as I said in my comment to you, is surprisingly less progressive than even my state of Alabama in terms of education!
