I read your intro, then followed the link to the video, then came back and read the rest of your blog. I didn't catch in the video those who were "named" and those who were not -- a good lesson to me. I did hear and feel the value in the broadcast given to those who speak for people with intellectual disabilities. And the value given to the group I can only describe as those who speak against the rights and dignity of persons with intellectual disabilities. <br /><br />To me the most profound thing said in the video, direct, to the point, moving the situation far beyond any one individual's experience, protesting bullying of all people, and attempting to educate the woman wearing the t-shirt... as said by the self-advocate with Down Syndrome, "NO MORE t-shirts that say RUDE WORDS to ANYONE!"Purplettanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-5355547678117567662013-11-22T20:02:05.659-05:002013-11-22T20:02:05.659-05:00I was unaware of the young man's age ... even ...I was unaware of the young man's age ... even at 13 he seemed able to speak for himself if he'd been asked by the media and his mother gave consent.

You know pe...As usual, Dave - right on all counts.<br /><br />You know perfectly well that they had oodles of footage to choose from - these things do not get filmed in the less than 2 min. shown - they are edited (like Reality TV shows) to make a point.<br /><br />One can only hope that their actual desire was to raise controversy - which leads to protests and more discussion. Unfortunately, it also leads to more polarization.<br /><br />I can't believe the young woman with the bright hair and wearing the shirt - but then I can't believe similar statements from people without a disability (as if there were any of those).<br /><br />The pressure eventually will get to the Globalize owner - people are protesting, all kinds of people.<br /><br />AliciaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
