Man With Intellectual Disability Kicked Out Of Government Funded Home Over Food...

With the big deal being made about bullying and gay and lesbian rights, you don't hear much about people with disabilities and their rights. 

A man with an intellectual disability was told today that he has 90 days to pack up his stuff and find somewhere else to live. Why? Because he complains. Why does he complain? Because the group home he lives in buys their groceries in bulk. This wouldn't be a problem except they ask him for his grocery list before they go to the store and many times return with nothing from his list, and only a few things he will actually eat. Realizing that he has only enough food to last him for 2 days, he calls his sister who makes the necessary phone calls to administration. After years of dealing with this, the organization decides "he obviously isn't happy here" without asking him if is indeed unhappy, and tells him he has to move out of the only home he has known for years. His response when asked by his sister if he wants to move - "No". 

But he doesn't have an option. The organization is already going through the steps to have him removed.

This man is my uncle and his sister is my mom. So while celebrities are standing up against bullying and our president is suddenly changing his mind about gays and lesbians being able to marry, there are people with disabilities being kicked out of their homes (which happen to be funded by our lovely government) because they ask for food. That's like kicking a child out of school because they ask for a pencil to write with. When is someone going to stand up for these individuals also!? Something is very wrong with our country.
