Help....
bob the builder but every episode focuses on some aspect of OSHA regulations
God, this. I worked in a highschool during my last semester at college, and taught while using a cane because I needed a mobility aid. I started counting students who would innapropriately ask about my disability. The most common phrase was just "what is wrong with you?" I'm not kidding when I say at least 20 highschoolers, many who are in my classes and I've never met before, asked me this question or something similarly worded. While it's a great oppurtunity for me to educate students on what NOT to say to someone with a disability, the fact of the matter is that its rude and condescending. Teach your kids about disabilities so that we dont have to for you.
Able bodied parents I'm begging you to teach your kids about disabled people. Not just because they could become disabled themselves one day but also because even if they don't, they have a very real chance of being rude to us if you don't teach them.
Yes, kids just say shit. They have no filter. That doesn't make it any less humiliating when your child sits near me on the bus and incessantly grills me on why I have a stick when I'm not old. Or laughs at us for things our disability causes. It doesn't take away the hurt when they bully a disabled classmate. For a large part these things could be avoided if you just taught your kids to respect us. It's really not that hard.
Hey, y'all! I made these today! I release them into the world to support the cause! They're sized for 8.5x11 printer paper. Take 'em. Print 'em. Post 'em EVERYWHERE.
Tomorrow when the farm boys find this freak of nature, they will wrap his body in newspaper and carry him to the museum.
But tonight he is alive and in the north field with his mother. It is a perfect summer evening: the moon rising over the orchard, the wind in the grass. And as he stares into the sky, there are twice as many stars as usual.
