[Ohio-talk] Political Correctness

[COLLEEN ROTH]

Hi Suzanne,
The NFB doesn't say people can't express their opinions. We do say that people should support policies and Resolutions which are adopted by the National Convention and Board.
I hope you have a nice day.
God Bless!

Colleen Roth
President,
At Large Chapter
NFB of Ohio;

However, last year at the National Convention, Dr. Maurer stated that we are people first and blindness secondly.  I am only one person and starting to feel attacked.  I thought we were a family.  Family teaches and not condemn.  Several emails such as today's, I think that this has gone too far.  I am here to support, defend and protect those who have ideas and just ask for clarity and understanding.

All Barbara and others are saying is that it is respectable to be blind, and we should display our blindness proudly.  Saying such things as "people who are blind" is just being verbose.
