Equal = Fair ? (connection)

    Kliewer, "citizenship in school: Reconciliation down syndrome", in this article he has us thinking about disabilities. Fape which is a free and opportunity public education that guarantees the right to education for all children with disabilities  also offing safeguards for children that ensure the student will be educate in the least restrictive environment along with non disabled student. Separate is not always equal and sometimes you have to readjust to create success.Equality mean that everybody must get the same treatment, equality is important but is not always fair. Kliewer says "community is derived from each individual's recognition of the value of every other individual". Also " no voice is deterministically silenced"; two powerful quotes shaping this article.
   The 1st connection i made was when Johnson said say the word "people first" in conversation towards any and all people. what Johnson means by this is you don't say the kid the crippled kid or my down syndrome student, weather you say Mike the one in the wheel chair or Charlie with down syndrome. it make the individual feel like a regular individual instead of an outsider or kid with a problem.  
   Also Wise came to my head, in 1954 we had laws passed of equality which we in fact know that equality is not always fair, specifically toward races but you can and should tie it towards this situation as well. It like separate schooling for blacks and whites you shouldn't separate a individual because he or she is not mentally or physically stable, yeah some situations are different but never the case should it be designed that way. Our president is black we are moving forwards not back towards segregation of indifference. 

Comment: At the end of the day we have similar lives and similar days to somebody why make their day harder by putting a label on them and trying to separate or discriminate.
