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

[jeanette Fortin]

Leadership has not dropped the ball at all and for those who have been informed and involved for a while I do not think anyone with expertise in this subject has determined that this is des rumination.

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

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.

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. ;-)
