Scientists have known for some time that Down Syndrome, the most common chromosomal abnormality, is caused by an additional chromosome #21. However, new fetal stem cell research is demonstrating that it is not only the presence of this additional chromosome, but also what the genes are missing, that may impede the development of a Down Syndrome brain.All 50 Secrets of the Sequence videos have an accompanying classroom-tested lesson that encourages students to further explore the video topics. Each lesson includes background information, state and national science standards, discussion questions and answers, teacher notes and an activity that will ensure a hands-on, “minds-on” experience.

Question by mathaowny: Is “politically correct” going too far?
This is spurred by a previous question.

Is the PC movement being taken too far?

–During the 2005-06 school year in Maryland 28 students were suspended for sexual assault…they were all kindergarten students
–4 yr old suspended for hugging a teacher’s aid
–The word “wheelchair-bound” is on the top ten list of offensive words
–Short people are now “vertically challenged”
–Dodgeball isn’t played in many schools anymore because it’s “unfair” to the kids that aren’t good at it
–Christmas trees are now being called “holiday trees”
–Many people see failing a kid in school unfair because it causes “emotional stress” and hurt feelings
–Deaf people are now “people (first) with hearing impairments”

I am not “sight impared” or “visually hndicapped” I am blind as a bat without my contacts. I am not “beautified” I have body mods. I was not a “food server” I was a waitress!

Anyone else think PC is going way too far nowadays? Sometimes it can be good…but mostly not.

Question by Clyde: What is the origin of the phrase “black lesbian in a wheelchair”?

Did some pundit famously use this phrase? Is it from a book or article? It’s a common expression used to convey frustration at political correctness and affirmative action, and because it’s so prevalent it’s hard to use a search engine to find it’s original source(s).
