[Colorado-Talk] FW: [State-Affiliate-Leadership-List] Morning show attacks capacity of blind people supervising children

[Catherine Michele Mitchell]

Right??? And I sure as hell don't want to sign up for an iHeartRadio account. But I do want to post my response somewhere that all the breakfast clubbers can read it. I do have a Facebook account but didn't see where that was even an option. Anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks! 
Michele Mitchell

We know perpetuating misconceptions like that harms our community, particularly the rights of blind parents. Below is the link to the episode. For reference, it’s a topic that is ongoing throughout the episode.
