Over her in the United Kingdom, there are stations on television that are dedicated to airing kids shows all day and every day. Stations such as this always have presenters to break up the shows that air with other fun activities and whatnot lol. Over the years we have seen the typical white presenter evolve into black presenters, mixed presenters, Asian presenters and so on.
A few years back, there was a disabled woman that began to present on one of the stations. She had one full arm but her other arm stopped at her elbow. I am not sure if she was born this way or if she was involved in some sort of accident, but I was pleased about the fact that she was appearing for visibility. Kids are some of the cruelest being ever to exist, and if they get used to people that are different at a young age then maybe there will not be so much ignorance surrounding the subject.
So I thought that this new presenter was amazing.
fast-forward to the many parents phoning in and writing in to complain and demand that she be removed from the TV station because she was scaring their children and was a freak. I could not believe it when I heard that parents were doing this.
The TV station kept the disabled woman employed anyway, but they has a lot of pressure from parents to fire her. Do you think that this TV station was right to keep her on as an employee?
