It’s a shame so many freepers are now liberals who whine about inconsequential issues/make up issues that don’t exist. How’s that work for you?
Seriously, a thread, a contentious one at that, about a class picture with a handicapped...oh wait disabled...oh wait special needs...oh wait...what’s the most current PC label?...child. What exactly is wrong with the picture? The kid looks happy. Mom not happy with the picture? Hell I’ve been there too since class pictures tend to suck, lol.
Mothers hearts break all the time. I know mine has. Should I have gone to the media?
I’ve told this story before, and will tell it again.
When my daughter was maybe four, we were standing in line in front of a local bakery one morning. She was groggy, or sleepy, tired, or out of it, and a man standing behind us, noticing it, asked me if she was “special”. I answered that sure, she was “special”, and only after he proceeded with a story of his or his relative’s disabled child, did I realize that he had asked me, using an idiotic euphemism, if my daughter was retarded! I didn’t feel like explaining anything to the man, we bought our bread, me and my special daughter, and we were on our way..
Over two hundred (200) posts on another feel-good/feel-bad, victim/martyr, politically-correct/politically-incorrect, liberal media schmaltz/heartstrings/obscure protagonists non-story.
I'll bet if someone posts a thread on the Kardashian preemie love baby, it'll get over a thousand comments including half-a-dozen food fights.
It's all quite fascinating.

I find the picture sad....and some comments here cruel
But you do bring up a point I did not consider about her going to the media....being a bit much
