[quote=Anonymous]This topic came up at a class meeting about dress-up days when I was in the 7th or 8th grade in the early 90s. Even as early teens, some classmates predicted how it could go off the rails. Powdering one’s hair and drawing in wrinkles could be one thing, but the accessories—orthopedic shoes, glasses, walkers, canes—could easily make things less funny and more ableist. A lot of kids don’t have the discernment to understand where the line between funny contrast and punching down lies. (Honestly, a lot of their parents don’t either.)[/quote]
