NEW! from Voice of the Retarded Parent
-- your very own Polly Spare Puppet!
At last! She speaks the truth!
"Frankly, my dear, they drooled. And in public!
They were just... damp! All day long!"
"Do you have any idea how difficult it is to get urine out of oriental rugs?"
"You wouldn't keep a hot tub that leaked, would you? Well? Would you?"
" "I had to find placements for our poor defective darlings... so as to make room for the real children we later adopted."
"I like to think of institutions for the retarded as our nation's first and finest dispoz-alls."
"No, really, this is my own hair."
In grim reality, Polly Spare is President of Voice of the Retarded (VOR), a group of parents who once dumped their kids in institutions and today grease political wheels to keep them there. Allied with unions representing workers at DD centers, VOR is well-heeled and very influential. Its amicus brief in the Olmstead case said, "The safety and constant monitoring provided by an institutions presents one care option envisioned by the ADA."
