In The Name of Good Ignoring Rights Of Persons With Disabilities




Councilor and social worker, Marc McGovern knows the lingo of local politics, paying obeisance to the list of victim groups (zip code?). He omits the one group to which he ministers, i.e., those with disabilities. He promises efforts "increasing human services programs," the business of treating those he omits from the list deserving rights as victims. 
Most importantly he knows to say one thing and do the opposite. He says, "I hope that all of us [. . .] find a way to appreciate our different opinions." Yet when it comes to defending speech that he and the PC crowd hates, he remains silent. Not a surprise.

[From article]
increasing human services programs,
[. . .]
Cambridge must ensure that every resident, regardless of race, class, age, gender, sexual orientation or zip code, has the opportunity for a safe, supportive and sustainable future.
[. . .]
I hope that all of us [. . .] find a way to appreciate our different opinions
