tolerance
Loved ones....years and years ago and far far away... I was contracted to provide speech pathology services at a non profit speech clinic...the head honcho called me in his office the first day (after I was hired) and clearly said...."Sam we do not want you to see any M.R.'s (mentally retarded), no autistics and no Mexicans...." then the clinic director confirmed it...

At the time they said that I thought he was very slick...he was checking to see if I was intolerant of other peoples...I thought (at the time) he was pretending....

Guess what...am I stupid...he was not joking...he really ment it...

The first client I admitted was a 8 year old Downs syndrome Latina....a very loving girl with a very loving family....

I did not last long at that clinic...
If anyone tells you intolerance no longer lives....tell them it is probably still alive and well.

Loved ones include those individuals in your prayers....
