When I took my high school students to Russia for one month I was shocked at how people with disabilities were treated. Most never went to school or went out because they were publicly mocked, and it was difficult to navigate city scapes where nothing is designed for a wheel chair. This was in 1997, I had hoped that things might have changed. I heard this story on the BBC today and was saddened to learn that little has changed, but that some schools are trying to teach young people how to be more empathetic.
