I am overposting here -- this will be my last one for the day.
Desegregation -- that means quit confining disabled persons to institutions and provide the option for one to live in the community like nondisabled people do for starters. Some nondisabled persons live with family, some live with friends and some live alone.
Segregation is the historical reality for disabled persons, and not coincidentally the proliferation of institutions coincides with the rise of capitalism. Marta
