Rights Gone Wrong: Disability Groups Vs. Gleeks With Disabilities

Hi all-

Here is a great article re: Glee. If you don't know, there has been controversy over the show's using someone without a disability in a role portraying a character with a disability. Personally, I wish more individuals with disabilities would be cast in shows. BUT, personally, we also love Glee and they DO use people with disabilities in some of their episodes (deaf or HOH individuals, Downs syndrome) and they've had MANY episodes with great disability awareness messages. The author of this article makes some good points. I can see both sides of the debate and understand, but all of us in Team Hyndman are "Gleeks". If you haven't watched the show, you can rent the DVD first season, which has some of the best disability awareness episodes. Check it out if you're interested. Below is the link to the article.

Blessings:)
Amy
