Hi all. I received this from a friend who has cp, and found it very
interesting and I want to share it with you. I hope this is not against the
rules of the TM LIST.
I hope you all have a very safe and happy holiday season.

I got this email and could not believe the stupidity! When are we going
to quit putting up with this? We have a voice and should defend
ourselves. Our community will NEVER grow beyond this unless we start
getting our voices heard.

New Mobility Magazine http://www.newmobility.com presents On A Roll --
Talk Radio on Life & Disability http://www.onarollradio.com
Did anybody see "Politically Incorrect" last night? They were
talking about a 9-year old kid in Washington who will perform as a
dancer in "The Nutcracker" and they were challenging this kid's right to
be in the performance.
Here are some excerpts from that show: I think it represents a
cross section of the general society's categorization of us. What do
you think? You can read the whole thing at:
http://abc.com/pi/word/971218.html
Bill Masher (Host): All right. Well, it is Christmastime, and there
was an article yesterday in "USA Today" about "The Nutcracker" in
Washington. I don't mean Hillary Clifton.
[ Laughter ]
The headline says, "Boy, 9, takes seat in ballet." Now this young
man has cerebral palsy. And it says, "Cerebral palsy doesn't prevent
dancing in 'Nutcracker.'" He is in a wheelchair. But in fact it does
prevent dancing. I mean, he can't dance. He's in a wheelchair. And I
wish him only good things, but I think this article, which celebrates
the fact that he is wheeled on stage in this, and you know, you could
you say, "Who does this hurt?" Well, I think it hurts him.
Ann Coulter (MSNBC): There are some things he might be able to do
reasonably well, but this, it is completely absurd. A wheelchair for a
dancer?
Bill: There are 200 other kids who wanted this part who didn't get
it.
Scott: Cerebral palsy kids?
Bill: No.
Ann: Well, that's true. I really am worried about this kid.
Bill: No. Other kids. And you know, the parents said this will help
this kid's esteem. I don't think it helps the kid's esteem to teach him
that, "Use your disability to cut in line."
Ann: Right.
Bill: That's not what we should teach kids in wheelchairs.
Ann: I think that's right. And if it were just an accommodation to
help him do something else he might be able to do, but this really, I
mean, it's like an embarrassing -- everybody's embarrassed about it.
They want to hide him, pretend it's not there. But there are things you
can do. If it weren't that this were a ballet --
Adam Werbach (Sierra Club): Who are we to be the people to tell that
kid that he can't do what he really wants to do?
Bill: We're the adults, man.
Adam: Yes, but people buy tickets. They're buying tickets to the
show. That's what the ballet is trying to do.
Clint Black (Singer) : The irony is that he may be making a bigger
success of the show because of this, so --
Bill: But that makes it a freak show.
