I've been trying, in a very un-American way, to avoid the election coverage. I have my own political views and beliefs, which are for the most part none of anyone else's business. I hate talking politics - probably because I feel remarkably uneducated on the subject of and issues related to. But I can't stand it any longer.
The republican nominee, who's name I cannot even bring myself to mention, is unbelievably shallow. Saying that he/they understand what it's like to have a special needs child because the VP nominee's infant son has Down Syndrome is like saying that because Jason's father died of cancer 15+ years ago, I understand what it is like to have cancer. PLEASE.
I cannot possibly do this topic justice. Thankfully someone else has. I urge you to read I Know Nothing About Special Needs. Really - worth the time.
