I saw the one of the speech by the high school senior on another blog. He totally gets it! I am asking my husband, who is a teacher, to shere it with his class room today!!
The one of the brother is powerful! Not too many high schoolers would take the time to defend an issue like this! Good for him! :)
Wow, that is awesome! Great post!
The one with the high school student really touched me! Thank you for sharing it!
Wow, that high school student has wisdom way beyond his years. Brilliant. In the second one look at some of the responses people had about why it's okay to use the word. Do they know how ignorant they sound?
Well, I did it--I realized I couldn't stand to let the use of the word go unanswered, so when someone on facebook called another person the "r" word, I messaged her privately and told her how hurtful my 16 year old with DS finds that word. I told her that I had messaged her privately rather than publicly because I didn't want to embarrass her, and I asked her to have the same courtesy for people with special needs. She'll probably just flame me. Oh, well....
I posted this on my blog and linked back to you. The video of the high school student is moving!
Do you know after I read this today I had a meeting with the girls principal? I needed to discuss Kaitlyn and her reading difficulties. I'm still worried that they might want to keep her back and the principal was trying to reassure me that wouldn't happen since they strongly believe that Kaitlyn has a learning disability. Anyways, he went on to tell me about his "mentally retarded" nephew. I about fell off the chair. I wish I could tell you that I corrected him too Renee, but I didn't :(. I was pretty emotional about Kaitlyn and trying to make sure they are clear that I just want to make sure she is getting everything she deserves and it has nothing to do with me believing they are doing anything wrong with her. I think I need to point him in the direction of your blog though to enlighten him a little.
