[Colorado-talk] PPCC says you have to have sight to work in childcare with them?

[Everett Gavel]

So, what say you, people, when a college 
work-study program tells us, in their 
applications, that to do childcare for them you 
must be able to see?

This is what our daughter, Rebekah, is 
experiencing right now. She's tried getting ahold 
of our leadership in Colorado, but hasn't been 
having much luck, it seems, if I'm understanding 
the situation correctly. If I'm not, please 
forgive me. But now, she's almost out of time, 
because she has a deadline.

So even if it ends up being too late to help 
Rebekah with her situation, I'm throwing this out 
there for public knowledge, that Pike's Peak 
Community College (PPCC) has this requirement 
written out in their applications. You apparently 
have to see to be competent to do childcare. Who 
knew? Someone should tell the hundreds if not 
thousands of blind parents  - maybe more in this 
country, I'm not sure - that if they are blind, 
hey, they shouldn't be taking care of their 
children. I mean, who knows what might happen to 
those poor kids? At least, that seems to be the 
conclusion of the leadership at PPCC. They say you 
must be able to see, to work in childcare with 
them. Even though Rebekah's major is Early 
Childhood Education, and she was absolutely born 
to work with kiddos. Just sayin. ;-)
