I’m a former special ed teacher who’s worked with disabled people in many capacities for 25 years (I don’t say this to be prideful). I’m now partly disabled myself (due to severe insulin-dependent diabetes) and work part-time with a great young man disabled by severe muscular dystrophy. I do appreciate the fact that Ms. Cho has apologized. However, I still think her remarks were highly insensitive.I hope , as one mother of a child with Downs Syndrome commented, that she gets to know more people with disabilities, and thinks twice before making more offensive comments. Respectfully, Tim Donovan PA

People make mistakes…
And time cannot be reversed.
She apologized,
So forgive and love.

I am a mother of an amazing little girl with Down syndrome. I wish your comments had never been made, but I thank you for your heart felt apology.

Margaret, I appreciate the apology. As the parent of one of the developmentally disabled people you insulted, I give you a challenge: make friends with a mentally impaired adult (or two or three adults) of your own age. NOT a child – an adult like yourself, one who is probably often treated as a child. I challenge you to become a real, authentic friend to that person or those people (it can be more than one, depending on the size of your heart and the degree of your sincerity). See them as often as you can. Call them on the phone. Send birthday cards. LOVE them. You won’t have to worry about firing off thoughtless insults after that. You will bring joy to a lives that have possibly had less joy than deserved, and you will rid yourself of the self-loathing that fostered your insult. No amount of legislation can change hearts; only free and loving association will do that. I invite you to join us and make the world better, one person at a time.

Your words are hurtful and I have the most beautiful, kind spirited 4 year old son with disabilities. I was a fan of yours and your words brought tears to my eyes. You should be ashamed of yourself. MEAN PEOPLE SUCK!

I agree. Having a child with different abilities is not the end of the world it seems it will be when you first find out. For me, it has been the BEST thing that has ever happened to me. With one extra chromosome my life has changed for the better. Sure there are things that are harder for my family than others, but we manage and come out the other side stronger than we went in.

Ms. Cho, if it is DS that you fear… please don’t… it’s an amazing gift. I am a lucky mom. I learn new reasons why every day.

My five year old is the joy of my life and for him I want the R word gone because I love him so agonizingly much that I don’t want him ever to have his feelings hurt. To other parents out there, I plead with you… you know how you would never want anything to hurt your child… well we feel the same exact way. Please teach your children that the R word can hurt in a way typically developing people don’t understand. Just strike it from you and your family’s vocabulary as a favor to parents like me.

Thanks!

I’m glad that you understand the hurtfulness of the word and you seem to even understand somewhat how the attitudes behind the word are hurtful. Don’t ever let fear of having a child with Downs keep you from pursuing motherhood.

I’m a mom of a 7 year old daughter with a developmental disability. Oh, how I hate to hear of people like you, celebrities or not, who throw that awful word around like a punchline.

But thank you Margaret Cho, sincerely, for an apology that seemed heartfelt. Everyone can be an ass once in a while, but it takes a big person to admit it and CHANGE.
