Disability History & Awareness must be added to all school curriculum's nationwide, starting in preschool, NOW!

]]> Wed, 6 Oct 2010 10:29:22 UTC 8648006 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/8157902?utm_medium=rss This is long overdue. I believe it is important to teach the history. Hopefully, it will fiinally acknowledge and recognize the important contributions made by these individuals to society. As a 59 year old hearing impaired individual, I have experienced many attempts to relegate me to second class status. It's sad to be viewed as less intelligent solely based on your disability. The fight for equal rights and acknowledgement continues.....

It is time that our children and peers realize that it is not something to be ashamed or make fun of. One of our greatest presidents used a wheelchair. This fact is rarely mentioned, much less talked about. It is time that our society acknowledges a different ability - not a disability.

His steadfast refusal to let others' disability bias define him taught me volumes as a kid growing up with cp. It made me stronger and prouder back then and will continue to guide me.
