During a visit to a good friend's home, I witnessed his daughter doing a swinging limp armed karate chop to her chest combined with an audible "Unnn," which back when I was a kid was a gesture you did to indicate that someone was saying or doing something stupid. But more specifically that gesture was essentially synonymous with someone "being retarded." It was shocking for two reasons: First, was that she did it in front of someone who has a disability; although at her age she's probably too young to truly grasp the inappropriateness of that. Second-and more shocking-is that over two decades later that gesture is still being commonly used amongst kids and I was honestly blown away by that fact. My take on that is that it speaks to the continued lack of education and proper etiquette training about disabilities amongst children. So how do we go about turning the tide?
