PC is describing an incident of bullying, and then getting upset when somebody calls it bullying. Now you say they were playing “with” her, but that’s not what you said before. I was responding to what you said, that they teased her and threw snowballs at her, even though she was not fighting back. You said that she complained to the adults.
Now I’m sorry if the picture you painted of her being bullied and turning to the adults for help was not an accurate picture. I expected better from you. That won’t happen again.
I made the mistake of suggesting you read Egon’s post, because I thought you were one of the people who could get it. I don’t know how I could have been so wrong about you, but you don’t have to worry about me making that mistake again. You’ve made yourself crystal clear. You’re perfectly willing to change your story to suit whatever opinion or mood you’re embracing at the moment.
This kid doesn’t need to be toughened up and taught that he isn’t welcome among some people because of his disability. He will learn that soon enough. For right now, his parents have chosen to shield him from this. I once knew a man who thought he could bully his child out of stuttering. That didn’t work so well. And that is not the best approach in this situation either.
It may be appropriate to have a child stick up for herself in a snowball fight with her siblings... Not may be, but is appropriate. But that is in no way the same as this situation. In some ways, it is actually the opposite. Her siblings were including her. This is a case of a child being excluded. Can you see that? Or are you blinded by some unspoken agenda? Because if you are, that would explain why you flew off the handle at me for no reason.

This is incredibly stupid. WHERE DOES THE ARTICLE STATE THAT THE CHILD WAS UPSET?! NOWHERE! YOU are making assumptions and building your own story. I told you about my MiL to show you that you are lost in PC crap. I guess it's permanent.
I am truly sorry for that.
Have a great afternoon.
“This is a case of a child being excluded.”
No this is a case of a school photographer not framing a picture properly. That is all this is.
You have no idea how much or how little the boy in the wheelchair usually interacts with his classmates or what limits are placed on his participation in class activities.
People who draw conclusions by looking at one piece of evidence without any facts to explain the evidence are called Liberals.
Keep in mind the adage “If you hear hoofbeats, watch for horses not zebras.”
