During the campaign, Sarah Palin was revered by families who have Down Syndrome kids. She was touched by the response from those families and promised to help them. She is doing what she promised.
Yeah and some of them think she’s being to thin skinned with this one. Me? I think that those who think the joke or sarcasm was funny should remember that is they are really trying to get rid of negative attitudes toward people with disabilities, ds in particular, they need to not let any jokes go through. (I don’t watch the show so don’t know) It’s kinda the camels nose under the tent type of thing.
And not all parents with children with down syndrome supported Sarah, there are many who think she needs to stay home and take care of that baby, he takes much more work to raise, etc etc etc..... My self I admire her and the support that her husband gives her to pursue her goals. And many of those moms thinking that she should stay home and take care of her children actually work out of the home. Kinda ironic how they think.
