Any wby not?
All academic study pass the basic study has very little to do with
intelligent and a lot to do with conformity to a certain doctrinaire.
The way you worded 'Other professionals' within a way which implies over
tone suggests that it is wrong for disabled people to have any control
over their position in society. When it comes to the crunch, are you
frightened that disabled people have started revolting against the
abuses of so-called professions?
If you understood the work I and many have to do to survive a single day
with our sanity, dignity and self worth, and being on public display for
every other person who thinks they know better to invade by personal
space, then you understand why I have little sympaythy for my so-called
9-5 (on the dot) allies.
My point is, going back to the start, how can someone teach what is
basically the disability movements 'doctrinaire' and then shrug off
issues of language to students as just people getting worked up over
nothing! The last week has shown what a minefield just two terms are,
let alone the rest.
Many Thanks, Simon

I don't think Sarah said what you seem to think she said. You seem to
be justifying a doctrinaire approach to disability because "other
professional[s]" do it!!!!
