    Historical Progression of Disability/Sexuality Rights Early in our history, the societal notion of eugenics in reference to disability, a theory that lends to the belief that persons with disabilities will only give birth to babies with disabilities, spawned the practice of involuntary sterilization (Harader, Fullwood, & Hawthorne, 2009).

Forcibly, many individuals with disabilities were sterilized in residences of institutions.

  • Canadian Special Education Compared To The 1950's

    The document does describe the disabled Canadian students with words such as “retarded”, which is considered a “dated” and “offensive” word when describing an individual in contemporary society, according to Oxford Dictionary. To be more specific, in Chapter Fifteen and section thirty, the document states that “The more the child is retarded mentally, the more he requires to be taught specifically and concretely, and the less capable he is of thinking imaginatively or abstractly.” With this quote, it is easy to see that the government only thought of the “special needs” students as less human than the able children; the government was under the influence that disabled kids could not critically think like other students. In the document, chapter fifteen is completely based on students with exceptionalities and is even titled “Exceptional Children.” A casual reader could easily mistake this chapter as a honest attempt made by the Ontario and Canadian government, but, as mentioned before, treating the students like unimaginative, inanimate objects will only worsen the situation for them, and the government was simply not trying in the 1950s.
