NY Post published a picture of a man with a disability who works at Walmart and has a 250 bowling average. He challenged Obama to bowl with him. What this shows is how some alleged victims of discrimination do not include persons with disabilities in their categories of protected individuals who cannot be criticized. One aspect of this not addressed is that except for the NY Post bowler only officials of the Special Olympics are quoted or parents of children with disabilities. Only persons with disabilities are prevented from speaking about how they feel about being marginalized. Psychiatrists speak for those accused of mental illness. This is accepted by journalists and politicians alike. It shows how myopic (or bigoted) most people are.
