So today I had class at my beloved jr college. I needed a text book for philosophy which my dad came to the bookstore to get,but we ended up not getting the book. " Why did we not get the book?"
When my dad came to bookstore he traded places with me so I could rest my feet and look on my iphone. I looked on Facebook that was fine, but then I got an email from my old university The plan was I would take classes at both the jr college and the university since I can only take two classes at the university. The same university that I talked about here.
Apparently not much has changed in terms of inclusiveness towards those with disabilities. Ableism rules supreme and the term has not began. How do I know this.
The email I got was play invite to all the students to try out for Shakespeare's A mid summer nights dream. I kinda like that play and have always wanted to be in at least one play my school career so I was interested in trying out . Until I read the following,
"This play requires clarity of speech and a passionate desire to communicate one’s point of view."
This is clear ableism. Why I have speech issues. I can barely say my own name. I have been in speech therapy since I was three. The speech issues are due to CP. Futhermore this was sent out to all the students. This was not broadway its a school play, something that I always wanted to do. Did they think about this?No.
I am leaning towards not going back to school and school starts a week from now.

How will they learn the error of their ways if you don't SHOW them! GO and show them!! Then find out who the director of the play is, next semester take a class he/she is teaching...and TEACH THEM!
