!

 

 

Me too. I remember at school being shown those dotty cicrcles and wondering what the heck I was supposed to be looking at. The lady got really cross with me and said that I had to be able to see them as I was a girl! :roll:

I was told at the time only 6% of people who are colour blind are female - don't know about now. I was sent to a specialist and told I couldn't be a pilot, electrician or printer.....shame really! :D:lol:

 

I was also told that as women are the carriers, if I had boys they would be colour blind too - I have 2 and they're not. :D

That is so out of order :shock: how dare she say such a thing? She is obviously living in the dark ages.

 

Totally out of order! - and a shame that her children/grandchildren aren't being raised with an awareness about disability. Was this a follow on from the childrens TV presenter who isn't interested in wearing a prosthetic arm? - she was on BBC Breakfast.

 

Sorry - off topic :oops:

That is terrible - how on earth can they be so blinkered and biased?!!!

 

As lesley says, it is a brilliant opportunity to educate her grandchildren, make them more aware and tolerant.

 

I bet your blood was boiling!

My blood was well and truly boiled by the views on the girl from CBeebies, she is lovely, children need to see as many differences in people as possible so that can grow up with open minds. Did anyone see the woman from the campaign for real education on Breakfast this morning? She had and affected elocution voice and very biggoted views on same sex families and the suitability of introducing this topic to children at primary school.

 

Sorry off topic but really the blinkered views of some people :twisted:

The BBC have recently received a well deserved slap for sidelining political commentator, Gary O'Donoghue, who happens to be blind, to the radio and backroom stuff because of his disability, so if they respond to the critics of this girl they will be making a massive mistake and probably breaking the law.

 

It is hard to believe that in this day and age people still hold these views.

Children never have a problem, it's always the adults.

 

You are soo right Helly; a friend of mine is disabled and often sees people steering their children away or pointing. One child (bless him) once came up to him and asked why he had 'funny legs'; E sat them beside him and told them the story..... such a shame that his parents felt too inhibited or embarrassed to make friends too.

I hadn't realised there was a furore about Kerry (the CBeebies presenter). She's only been on a week or so, but what a great role model she is! I have to honestly admit I did a double take when I first saw her, and sometimes it does seem odd watching her because I keep expecting her hand to be there and it isn't! But I think that is great - the boys have spotted it and asked the question and been answered, and now she is just Kerry - absolutely no different to anyone else. And I am getting used to seeing her as well. Sometimes desensitisation is a good thing! :lol:
