ago, I had the opportunity to listen to a
message that was left on the National
Federation of the Blind of Greater
Louisville’s “Talking Bulletin Board.”<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>The
person who left the message is not blind, and
is not a member of our organization.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>She is,
however, a disabled person.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>She is a
friend of one of our members, Scott Spaulding,

authority on blindness.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Scott
has tried many times to share with her our
beliefs to no avail.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>So, this time he took a
different approach, advising her to leave a
message stating her concerns on the bulletin
board.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>She
expressed some very disturbing ideas that are
contrary to the fundamental teachings of this
organization.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">

decided I would once again use this venue to
do just that.<o:p></o:p></strong></span> </p>

one of the first outrageous statements she
made was that blind people should wear medic
alert bracelets.<span style="mso-spacerun:

must for those who are allergic or have other
medical conditions that could be fatal if not
treated properly.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>When I confronted her as to
why she thought blind people should wear these
bracelets she was adamant about her belief.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>She
said, (and I am paraphrasing) A blind person
might get up and run into a wall, or they
won’t know what is available to them.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Hah! The
blind people I know aren’t going to get up out
of bed or off the stretcher and run into a
wall even if by some chance we don’t have our
cane with us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>I am not sure how being blind would
make us less aware of what is available; I
guess she meant our surroundings in general.<span

quite vocal and not well spoken.<span

was a flurry of conversation on our listserv
regarding this issue.<span

agreed that we should not wear a medic alert
bracelet just because we are blind.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Blindness
in and of itself is not a life-threatening
condition, or one that requires special
attention.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>There
was mention of instances when hospital staff
was not aware that a patient was blind.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>As a
result, the dinner tray was left sitting on
the bedside table while the patient slept.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>On
another occasion, papers to be signed were
being waved in someone’s face. <span

where better sensitivity training is
needed--not a bracelet.<span

doesn’t in any way diminish the outreach,
community involvement and education that is
going on in all of our chapters and divisions
here in the NFB of Kentucky.<span

also chastised for not “telling our members
where they could find all of the free stuff.”<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Now, at
some time in our lives most of us have
struggled.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>We
have taken advantage of government programs

I would certainly help guide any blind person
to the necessary resources.<span

I refuse to encourage people, blind or not, to
constantly take without any thought of
becoming self-sufficient.<span

in question has admitted to several of us that
this is a way of life for her and she sees
absolutely nothing wrong with it.<span

NOT what we promote for the blind.<span

family is going through a huge transition.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>My first
born, Hana, is 13, almost 14 years old and is
a freshman in high School.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Haley,
who is 11 years old, will be starting her
middle school career this year.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Back in
the winter when both girls had to apply to the
schools they wanted to attend, we had high
hopes and confidence that they’d both be
successful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Unfortunately,
neither girl got accepted to the school of her
choice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Obviously,
they were both upset and devastated.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Our
“home school” for Hana would be Iroquois High
School.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>(Some
of you may have heard of this school since it
appears on the top 10 worst schools list in
Kentucky).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Needless
to say, Hana will not be attending Iroquois!<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>My
daughter is a bright, outgoing and talented
girl who deserves a better education.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Hana is
attending Presentation Academy, a Catholic
all-girls high school.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>At first
she was not at all looking forward to
Presentation for several reasons.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I was
truly worried and nervous about this path.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Hana
decided to play field hockey for Presentation,
even though she had never played this sport
before.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>She
did participate in lacrosse in middle school
where she became an outstanding player.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>After
starting field hockey her attitude toward the
situation started to change.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>By the
time the first day of freshman orientation was
over she was excited and actually wanted to
skip a trip to the mall to attend the second
day of orientation.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>Now as a mom and former
teenager, to me that was a huge positive step
in the right direction.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>For a
teenager to want to go to school instead of
the mall, especially after her extreme
reluctance to attend this school anyway…this
was a good thing!<o:p></o:p></strong></span> </p>

is on her third day of school and so far so

is learning the high school ropes and is, of
course, making tons of new friends.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Her
major goal at Presentation is to start a
lacrosse team.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">

attended this middle school and really
blossomed here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">

Olmsted and was content with Haley attending.<span

Hana, Haley was not looking forward to school
starting until orientation day.<span

Haley got to meet some teachers, walk around
