[Mitai-announce] LABELED DISABLED tonight at 7 in 6-120!

[Jasmine Park]

Dear Activists,

This is just a reminder that Amnesty International is holding its  
first movie screening of the year. We will be seeing "LABELED  
DISABLED" in 6-120 at 7PM today! The director of the movie, Maggie  
Doben, will be at the event as well to answer your questions after  
the movie. Food will be provided!

LABELED DISABLED addresses curriculum that challenges those biases of  
people with disabilities and demonstrates, through first hand  
experience that they are stereotypes, not reality. Watch what  
actually happens in the classroom as children discuss and challenge  
prejudice.

In conjunction with anti-bias education and the idea that knowledge  
is best acquired through concrete experience, the viewer witnesses
the inspirational progress of children; from what they perceive to be  
true, to what is true.

Through interviews, classroom lessons, and discussion, educators,  
disabled individuals, parents and students show what this learning
can achieve. Experts in the fields of education and disability  
advocacy will substantiate that learning about disabilities is  
valuable and life changing for young children.
