Adams disgraceful, ignorant and unjust comment towards children with disability!

I am sorry I disagree with those that are on the net trying to say that Adam’s remark was mild, ignore, so what! So what? I will tell you so what. Adam also works with children of disability and for a person whose profession is to work with children to say such a drastic, ignorant comment is despicable. Adam’s character not only sucks, he is unprofessional, sullied and inescapably ignorant.

I do not think that children who cannot speak for themselves or their families should have to put up with such outrageous uncalled for ignorant comments even if it is reality show! How much is too much? Last year we had to put up with Amber and her stupidity, this year we have Adam superseding Amber with his uniformed demeanour and attitude towards helpless children! Yes people are upset nor do I blame them. CBS should limit and edit comments that are not favourable towards the infrastructure of other human beings. It is not a matter of turning the channel as some suggest it is a matter of the TV execs taming their desire to have the best ratings.

It is not always about sensationlism money or ratings but the basic of human dignity is at stake with comments made by some reality show characters. It is inexcusable in this day and age to have to tolerate the vulgarities of ignorance directed at other human beings. It is unmistakably rude and hurtful to some people and their families. I read different arguments on different blogs and web forums. Some people are defending Adam with Freedom of Speech as their ace in the hole. Yes people have the right to freedom of speech, however, so do people who do not wish to tolerate such despicable and disgusting comments by others on a reality show. Children and/or people with disabilities are not to be regarded as nothings without any feelings, they have and experience the same human feelings as the rest of us; and even if they cannot talk for themselves or stand up for themselves, they know when someone has insulted and offended them!

There is a core in every human being that tells them what they are doing is right and/or wrong. In my opinion Adam didn’t make the comment because he is not dealing with a full deck of cards.  Adam made the comment because he is aggressively pursing his selfishness of sensationalism, to be on the mouths of households and to be recognized as a Mr. reality show himself. I think Adam knew full well what he was saying and doing and he intentionally made such a brash statement in order to offend others for his pursuance of stardom.

Adam plays a big part in these children lives because he takes care of these children therefore he is also considered one of their teachers. If it was not so disgraceful I may pity Adam but I choose to feel badly for the children that have to put up with Adam as their caregiver.  I prefer to feel badly for the families he has hurt by making that comment! Clearly it is not acceptable in the year 2008 for others to display such cruel statements that shakes the conscious of America’s democracy! While everyone has the right to freedom of speech, freedom of speech is also limited when it affects the greater needs and good of societies, communities, cities and countries. Adam should only be recognized and bear the shame of his comments against children that are vunerable and unable to defend themselves. It should not be ignored by viewers of America or Canada. Children with disabilties and their families struggle on a daily contingencey to cope with their disabilties, it is not something that anyone should make light of nor should it be something we ignore.

To a Special Teacher
by Samantha Abeel

When the sun rose
from under its misty veil,
you were there to watch,
like the birds over the sea.
When the wind came quietly
and rested in your ear,
you listened, as the earth would at dawn.
When the rain fell,
you reached out with your hands
and let it wash everything away,
like waves as they grasp the shore.
When the plain brown seed was planted,
you could already smell the fragrance of
the flower that was to come,
and you were proud
as a good gardener should be.

Thank you for believing
that there was a flower waiting inside
and for taking the time
to help
and watch it grow.
When the sun rose
from under its misty veil,
you were there to watch,
and I am thankful.
