I think it will require the kind of hard soul-searching few in these institutions seem willing to do. The parents, grandparents, and donors view these places as theirs, as Dr. Pannell noted; and, since their “siege” mentality is daily reinforced by conservative media and their church, short of some incitement that shakes their foundation I don’t see it changing.

I have hope that someday Christians will look at New Testament scriptures with new eyes and see how Jesus included and valued everyone. They will search deep within and see that we are all God’s creation. There is much work to do, but it begins by us truly seeing it, valuing it, acting on it.
