[QUOTE="buddy, post: 580218, member: 12886"] And.....extra thought....... They seem very group minded, which can be important especially in a small town. Individual rights are highly prized here, lots of debate on some subjects where that can conflict with the good of the whole. When it comes to race and the disabled or any other group where there has been discrimination ....I do believe living where individual rights are legally protected and valued even if the group has to accommodate somewhat is a good thing. When Special Education rights and laws first started there was lots of "it's not fair to the others" over things like a student using a word processor instead of a pencil and paper! I heard over and over, all the kids will want one. Same for figits held by kids with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and ADHD. Now years later it's common and we realize kids are much more capable of understanding differences than we gave them credit for. Simple explanations and kids say, oh....ok! Of course there are extremes and kids who strip or beat up others? Yeah we need special places and to work on those issues in private, for the dignity of the special student too. You would likely face resistance yearly even if they agree to try. Q is often the first of his kind in places and it's not easy. [/QUOTE]
