Lordy how I love the Bee
Whew! Saw it was the Bee. I love those kids.
It really has happened. Here is an article.
Mattel Unveils a Barbie with Down Syndrome

Yes.
There were a few people who thought Mattel was being too ‘Woke’, but this is an interesting spin IMHO.
Wow. Awesome. Most mass-attending Catholics, weak as they are on all manner of teachings by Holy Mother Church on faith and morals, will probably end up being caught short by this piece, even embarrassed as it calls upon them to re-evaluate their attitudes and opinions.
Way to go, Bee.
Da Bee, nuthin’ but net, again.
Is Mattel attempting to insult ordinary Americans?
Downs is not genetic in the usual sense. It’s almost always caused by the uneven division of the ovum, as occurs more frequently as a woman ages. There is only a tiny percentage of cases that are actually genetic as we think of it.
No amount of killing off fetuses will ever eliminate it. It would have to be by a different process that we haven’t invented yet.
I know it’s the Bee. Just pointing out the error, which tends to get repeated again and again.
Or teach kids Down Syndrome folks are actually “people”...
Well, they wouldn’t want *that*!
Very slippery slope for some excellent satire. Love the Bee.
At its best, satire is the ultimate weapon for taking down or weakening a much bigger enemy. This to me really speaks Truths eternal.
If we value human life, we value all human life. The most devout and dedicated lawmakers can’t do anywhere as much good as implanting the right values in a kid’s mind.
