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!

I tried commenting on this and was not able to because they require you to have a Facebook account. Highly ridiculous in my opinion. I'm not doing it.

Hey folks, I know many of you are parents or want to be parents.  Please read the below and help out.  Even if you are not a parent, please help out.

 

Best,

Dear Affiliate Presidents,

 

Yesterday a popular morning radio show called Breakfast Club attacked the capacity of blind people to supervise children. 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.

We cannot let them use their public forum to jeopardize the rights of blind parents and their families. They have millions of subscribers and followers. They say they are willing to learn, so let’s educate them. 

 

Let them know how blind people care for children, particularly if you are a blind parent. Connect with them on social media (@breakfastclubam) or call 800-585-1051. 

 

 

Mark A. Riccobono, President
