Rant about Silent Segregation!

After the recent events reported about the American Airlines Pilot refusing passage to a Mom and a 16 year old Downs syndrome boy I had to prepost my rant about the Silent Segreagtion.... I dont expect everyone to totally embrace my son and his disability I simply want to be treated as others are! I witnessed so much discrimination and segregation eve  now 50 years after the Civil Rights act is law it just saddens me--- I hold no specific person accountable ACCEPT for everuone TAKING A MINUTE TO THINK HOW THEY WANT TO BE TREATED AND EXTEND THAT SAME IDEA TO MY SON AND MYSELF. There is another post back a ways titled Silent Segreation but for now this was a FB posting in reaction to this last fiasco ....
Oh Kristie I cannot believe this BUT I have to say I have written about this on my BLOG about most especially in schools and the school system how its like the Civil Rights act never was adopted--- I call it the "Silent Segregation" and it speaks to how our special needs kids clasrooms are always the "portables" and always in the back of the school segregated from the other classes and kids-- BUT even more so the TEACHERS who should realize that they are role models for their "typical" children will allow OUR kids to walk right by them and the TEACHERS  totally ignore them just like the children--- Dont they know that they have little minds that they can change or at least mold  BY setting the example to include and acknowledge our children even when they walk by a class or classroom of typical peers??? I want to give them {teachers} the benefit of the doubt and hope they are just wrapped up in their own day BUT I can tell you I witnessed it over and over for years and it breaks my heart that one little jesture by saying Hello there _____ how ya doin? And all those kids in that class see that their teacher speaks to them{our Kids} maybe they will do the same... One last gripe ---- I have even seen how special Ed teachers are shunned by other teachers and thats just as bad... WE ARE STILL IN THE BACK OF THE BUS AND ITS TIME FOR US TO MOVE UP TO THE GROUP...We dont need to be in the front just in the middle with everyone else.
