Tuesday February 24, 2009 Today I learnt that their had been complaints that children have been traumatised by the appearance of a CBBC presenter who only has one hand. I understand if a child sees someone like this that they might be upset but it is up to all of us to educate children about this stuff. We so often hear about racial, political, gender and all the other discriminations but the disabled always seem to be at the bottom of peoples interest in solving these problems.
I had thought we had moved on a step or two after the success of our people in the Olympics but perhaps we have not come far enough. I cannot find any links on this story either.

Now I understand why a school principal call children these days the strawberry generation, they are easily bruised and damaged.
