"Vygotsky found that the culture of segregation surrounding people with disabilities actually teaches under development of thinking through the isolation of children from socially valued opportunities" (Kliewer 83)
~ This means that because we are making children with disabilities more limited because they are not exposed to the same resources as kids who don't have a disability because we are separating these students into their own classrooms thinking that they are less intelligent than other students.
"America will have it's disabilities" (McDermott 344)
~ This quote summaries the article in which it is saying that America won't be working for the fairness of everyone if they continue to segregate against people with special needs in their society.
"As mentioned earlier, people with Down Syndrome are joined in their struggle for citizenship by other oppressed groups" (Kliewer 96)
~ This explains that people who are discriminated against for having down syndrome look to other oppressed groups for support and comfort because they are being discriminated against in many places.
It is so sad to think that people think less of people with disabilities. I really hope that in the future that will change.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kayla, it is unfortunate and I hope that we can all work together to change that.
