WHAT IS THE WHOLE STORY? ANY TRUTH TO THIS? |
If the story were true, what are the implications?
The Palin family has asked for privacy, rather than directly address the question.
When Trig goes to First Grade, what are the other kids going to believe about Trig?
Down Syndrome, at least. Did you want additional stigmas attached to Trig? Elementary school kids can be cruel and disheartening. Do you want your down syndrome child, if you have one, coming home in tears because the other children found out he was adopted, and his real mother and father did not even want him?
Or such other teasing Adopted Down kids might get?
It is kindest not to even ask the question.
Maybe when Trig is through elementary school, there might be a time when it makes sense for Trig to uinderstand that he is adopted. So other chidren are not saying, "Trig does not even know he was adopted." But not first grade.
The problem is that Bush had approved Torture and circumvented FISA wire tap safe guards, and exempted phone companies from liablity for tapping your phone, and asked for provacy for his staff members, beyond executive privilege. Since the Republicans have gone overboard in stripping Americans of privacy, it seems likely that Palin's request for privacy is just another Republican Cover-up.
I took some youngsters to an elementary school, recently and met their teachers, and I can see the logic in keeping the issue of adoption out of the conversation until Trig, and his peers, are ready to handle the truth constructively.
The issue of Privacy for All should be discussed, and not just extended, as an exception, to the rich and powerful.
