My daughter just graduated from elementary school for handicapped children, but she has Down´s Syndrome and has had Alopecia Universalis for 5 years. And as a reward when the children got their diploma they also got a picture of the class and teachers.

I was stunned when I realized the picture of my daughter had been photoshopped. The photographer had put hair on her head and she looked like a boy. I was so sad, I found the photographer and the only explanation he gave me was this: well I thought since she has been getting some hair back …blablabla… I was like a volcano ready to explode, how wonderful I told him, so maybe children who are blind get their sight and kids in wheelchair can stand up on their graduation day – every body is perfect in your world !!!???!!! As you can imagine I was very angry, for someone daring to change my beautiful daughter in the “one size fits all mode”.

I told the headmaster of the school that this picture would never go up on a wall at our house and asked for a new one, with my child un-photoshopped. I will have to wait until fall for the new picture since the photographer is gone on holiday. What is wrong with this world?
