Let’s Ban Vision Correction in Classrooms

I responded, “If technologies aren’t allowed to help kids read, eyeglasses and contact lenses need to be banned.” Because I simply cannot believe this debate still exists. In 2008, in perhaps <a href="https://speedchange.blogspot.com/2008/05/may-day-retard-theory.html" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">the most controversial blog post I ever wrote</a> (read the comments), I said, “…we have to “queer” the experience around us — use “Retard Theory” whenever we can. De-normalize “them.” Demand to see the doctor’s note from anyone wearing eyeglasses. Ask for a note from the cardiologist every time you see someone in an elevator. Challenge anyone who prints out a copy of a digitally supplied text — “Did your doctor say you couldn’t read a computer screen?” Make “them” uncomfortable every day. <a href="https://medium.com/teachers-on-fire/lets-ban-vision-correction-in-classrooms-c92268aab6d8">Click Here</a>
