[nfbmi-talk] Jordyn Castor in the media

[J.J. Meddaugh]

Terry,
Definitely see your point, but I didn't read this article as 
condescending. I think as long as blind peple are presented in a 
positive light, I'm OK with the occasional press story. Perhaps a blind 
parent will see this and arrange the same for their blind child instead 
of holding them back. Is it the perfect article? Hardly. But it is a 
positive blindness story without the word amazing in it nonetheless.

It's certainly a discussion that has no clear answer.



Best regards,
J.J.
