Clearly that is your personal opinion because clearly the little girl stated that the other kids HAD not teased her. Chidren learn what they live, starting with at the homefront and what the parents portray. I am glad we taught our disabled daughter that the content of her character & repect for all God's children is more important than her deformed physical characteristics. She is pre-med with her sights set on helping disabled children the same way she was helped so that they may learn what true beauty is & learn to flourish in life with those physical disability traits. My guess is you have never been to, let alone participated in a special olympics event.
There is nothing wrong with being disabled, there is also nothing wrong with *not* being disabled.
Are you one of those parents who would refuse a Cochlear Implants for your kid so they could be ‘proud’ of being deaf?
I have a kid who is peanut allergic. It’s not a physical deformity but she has to always sit at a special table at school, bring her own food to birthday parties, and cant get some ids favorite summer treats.
She has to carry an epi-pen around all the time. This is nothing to be ashamed of but its also *nothing* to be proud of either. You can bet you’re last nickle that if there was a procedure to eliminate the allergy I would walk over broken glass to get it for her.
She is also a bit on the small side, as was I until puberty, She gets picked on for her height called a ‘toy’ and a ‘doll’ in a derisive way. I explain that God makes us all different and that it’s what inside that counts. I would not do any kind of surgery, pill, or procedure to make her taller.
This little girls ears were deformed and correctable so what’s the issue with correcting? If they could cure some of those special Olympians would it be wrong?
