Ableism

Discrimination is in itself a very broad subject. There is discrimination against certain races, religion and even gender. What about people with disabilities? They most definitely receive the worst of discrimination. Whether it be at home or at work, it is there. It is shown that approximately one-fifth of our country is affected with a disability, whether is be mental or physical. Two-thirds of these persons are under the age of sixty-five. The discrimination against the disabled is something that should either be rare or all together not here, but sadly it is. Even our own President Obama stated "his bowling is just as bad as the special Olympics".
