Senate Bill 94 passed the House 88 to 1. As you may recall, this is the bill that merely edits the terms in the Indiana Code by which individuals with disabilities are referred. And it’s not like the current version uses the term Mongoloid to refer to retardation or anything. Rather, the bill wastes a lot of paper to do things like change “hearing, deaf, and hard of hearing individuals†to “individuals who hear, individuals who are deaf, and individuals who are hard of hearing.â€
Other than killing a few trees, I guess the bill doesn’t hurt anybody. Still, to my jaded sensibilities, it seems a tad on the hypersensitive side.
