The Disposable and the Unseen

This morning at < a href= " http://supportforspecialneeds.com/2016/07/27/the-disposable-and-the-unseen/ " target= " _blank " > Support for Special Needs < /a > : < br / > < blockquote class= " tr_bq " > < i > < b > Excerpt: & nbsp; < /b > < /i > & nbsp; < /blockquote > < blockquote class= " tr_bq " > < i > When I read the story of the attack in Japan, it struck me that Satoshi Uematsu ’s position on the disabled as being a burden on their loved ones and a drain on Japanese society is grotesque and extreme, no doubt. But it echoes an argument made time and time again in this country as well, at school board meetings and on educational discussion boards and on newspaper opinion p ages in every American community. “How much are we going to spend on special education when there are gifted and talented kids who have so much more to…” (wait for it…) “contribute to society?” Petitioning to the government to have people with disabilities “euthanized” is horrific, b ut it’s not an unfamiliar narrative except in its awful scale. We all own a little bit of Uematsu’s horror. < /i > < /blockquote > < br / > < div class= " separator " style= " clear: both; text-align: center; " > < a href= " https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-e2vzUXHujpM/V5hjCcVWaCI/AAAAAAAAAzI/fKZvlPDBKGU-n1DTpAn-NBdHHVAl2vSxACLcB/s1600/ghost_hand.JPG " imageanchor= " 1 " style= " margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; " > < img border= " 0 " height= " 212 " src= " https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-e2vzUXHujpM/...
