I know everyone is hearing a lot about inclusion lately and how important it is to include children who are a little different in more school activities and classes. Here's a perfect example showing why inclusion matters. Most of you know Cara's little sister, Grace Key. She's sweet and social and she loves being a part of the swim team and cheer team at Calhoun high school. After spending her summer going to practices and learning all the different cheers, someone decided it would be a issue to have Grace on the field cheering with everyone else. Anyone that knows Grace, knows she is completely competent, and for someone to not allow her on the field is ridiculous. She stayed outside the fence separate from everyone else the entire game yesterday wondering why she wasn't allowed to cheer on the field like all of her friends. People with Down syndrome have feelings, and yesterday Grace's feelings were hurt. They didn't care one bit to have Grace in the pictures, so they could get gratification for letting someone with special needs be on the cheer team, but they're getting gratification for not even including her and that is wrong. If you know how Grace was treated was wrong like I do, please speak up to your school officials. There needs to be a change in how they handle their special needs students. A lot of these children can't advocate for themselves, and they need someone to stand up for them. It takes more than one voice to make a difference. Calhoun High School needs to keep their end of the deal. You gave Grace the uniform you need to let her be on the field. She deserves to be out there with her peers doing what she loves not standing on the other side of the field segregated.
