[Colorado-talk] [Nfb-coloradosprings] PPCC says you have to have sight to work inchildcare with them?

[James Beal]

the day care market and that if one locations turns her down there are 
at least twenty other alternatives served by buses that she could 
consider.during a recent visit to PPCC I encountgered a group of 
preschool children playing near the entrance of building B. I am not 
sure of this but I believe Bekah was supervising the kids. They may 
want someone able to take a child to a doctor if necessary although 
they have programs on that same campus where CNA's and LLPN's are in 
training. I appreciate Everett's bringing this up but hope that Bekah 
would feel strongly about a discrimination issue that she herself may 
need to be the one to come forward to complain, there are also a lot of 
off campus opportunities to work in day care including one I have 
personally contacted her about. it's tough but at times we have to make 
a decision on what battles we need to fight. I don't know her feelings 
on this but I do know that competition

As a state board member and someone who has worked on a number of 
national issues I would consider that I have at least some leadership 
role in our affiliate. This is the first I have heard about the issue. 
If Rebecca has reached out to me I have not seen an email or gotten the 
messages but I would be very very very happy to hear and work with her 
frankly, I think to imply that leadership has not gotten back to her, 
on a list is very irresponsible

Hello Again,

I did mention that I might not have *all* the details, and asked your 
forgiveness if I was off-base at all, right? Well, when I mentioned to 
Lisa that I shared this bit of discrimination publicly, she informed me 
that it's not just a PPCC thing. I'm sure some of you are well aware, 
but obviously I was not (smile), that it'sdiscrimination on a national 
level. It's the accreditation for the childcare, NAYCE, and is a 
national issue with requiring vision, apparently.


Strive On!

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?

... if I'm understanding
the situation correctly. If I'm not, please forgive me.
... 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. ;-)
