What does that mean, even playing field? For the majority of those living in the US it means having the same chance as the next person to get an education, heathcare, and a job. Well, it seems that over the last few years even the most evenly played fields are sloped. And what does that mean for folks who carry another burden of enculterated bias?
The discussion topic today is just that. Bias relative to persons with physical or intellectual disabilities. Is there someone in your family, your workplace, your class, your church, who has a disability? What do you notice about the way they experience life? Does the person fit into any biases you acquired growing up? Or just the opposite? How have they impacted you, personally?

ReplyDeleteWe all have insecurities. I think that many people would rather not be around the disabled because it manifests their insecurites, and they'd rather cower instead of confront. We need more people to be brave. Brave like the disabled.
ReplyDeleteWe help military Veterans find companies hiring veterans. We understand why it is valuable to hire a vet because we are one as well.
