LINEN ON THE HEDGEROW: "Disabled children should be put down"

LINEN ON THE HEDGEROW: "Disabled children should be put down"
My Note: Now if you REALLY want to talk about 'crazy' check this out. And supposedly a 'leader(?)' of his community?
Excerpt:
That anyone could be so callous and crass in making such a statement is beyond comprehension, yet that is what, allegedly, Cornish Councillor, Colin Brewer has said.

Both The Independent and The Huffington Post carried the story, extracts below:-


The Cornish councillor who was re-elected despite saying that disabled children "should be put down because they cost too much money" has again insisted that there may be a case for killing some disabled children with high support needs...
[...]
Looking for analogies to support his view, Brewer compared disabled children to farmers' treatment of animals, telling the agency: “If they have a misshapen lamb, they get rid of it. They get rid of it. Bang!” He continued: "We are just animals. He [the farmer] obviously has got a point… 
============
My Response: There we have it: 'We are just animals.'  Thus we have reached the 'crown' of Darwinian socialism who not only deny God, it seems, but man.  So who belongs to this 'elite' group of theirs--if not God or man?  The crux of the matter: socialism reducts everything to this thus denying the soul.  Now who I wonder hates man and so denigrates him?
For over a decade I was Education Director at a 'special' school.  It was my job to coordinate with the university and community in training developmentally disabled adults and teens to live and work in the community.  I will never forget when the first (US)government interventions began.  The institutions were to be emptied out with residents sent back to families for 'local' agencies--including public schools--to train and care for. For a solid week I was required to participate in 'testing' each one's skills.  One afternoon a middle-aged gentleman who worked in the greenhouse/farm area came in.  He was irritated that he had to leave his job.  Staff, employers, and residents alike respected and liked him.  I was tired and irritated too after a day of utter inane questioning.  So I went right to the point with him.  
"Can you read, Pete?"
He retorted: "I read my Bible everyday.  Do you?"
Pete passed. 
Oh, BTW.  He was diagnosed with brain-damage and Down's Syndrome.  I wonder if Mr. Brewer has read Exodus?  I think he will find the injunction:  "Thou shall not kill."  It doesn't take an act of God to declare which human being I have greater respect for.
