I have a son with disabilities and when he was phased out of Sunday School at my home church, I requested that he be allowed to enter Cadets. I was told "we have other places for children like that !"
Needless to say, I was sad and so very angry. When my son was baptized, the congregation promised to help in raising this child in the church. There was no caveat/disclaimer stating "providing he is not disabled."
I am VERY thankful that this was voted down. I have been in the advocacy field for people with disabilities for over 35 years. I have witnessed the blood, sweat, and tears of many who have worked so hard to improve the lives of people with a disability. I personally lobbied in DC for the ADA and I will never give the useless UN any measure of control or even input to the current program we have.
