In a world increasingly focused on inclusion, there are still those who roll out ridiculous excuses not to be inclusive. On World Down Syndrome Day, March 21 2023, CoorDown - the National Coordination of Associations of People with Down Syndrome - is launching the international awareness campaign "RIDICULOUS EXCUSES NOT TO BE INCLUSIVE," to affirm the right to full participation in society and inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities, free from all forms of discrimination and ableism.
SMALL, New York Over the past few months, with the help of associations from all over the world, CoorDown has been asking people who have Down syndrome, and their families, what excuses they have heard for being excluded from education, sports, jobs, and other opportunities. Some of these excuses were so incredibly ridiculous that they deserved to be brought to life and properly celebrated. This is where the film draws its inspiration from: in a comic, yet bitter, tone of voice it tells precisely the most frequently used excuses for denying access and legitimate space to people with disabilities. It illustrates, in five scenes, episodes of everyday ableism, from being excluded from class trips, in the workplace, at school, playing sports, at summer camps and in the wider community. - "It's not your fault, we're the ones who are not prepared to take you on the field trip!," - "We already have a child like you in the group," - "We don't have enough chairs to invite you to the meeting," - "We closed registration just ten minutes ago!" These are some of the ridiculous excuses given, excuses that deny people who have Down syndrome the chance to fully participate. But there are no acceptable excuses not to be inclusive.
