MARGE AND LISA TO CREATE NEW EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION IN ALL-NEW "Invalid Inclusiveness"
Marge and Lisa open an educational institution for people with various types of disabilities. Although there are different reasons for it: Lisa sees potential in them, while Marge does so out of pity

Very, veryhyped anticipated story. I'd be really curious to watch it in reality. Seriously, The Simpsons as show almost don't pay attention/picture people with disabilities. The Sound of Bleeding Gums had this topic? First - no - it wasn't about actual inclusiveness, to my personal regret. And second, the base for it came a long ago yet.
A few years ago, in Ukraine (and in world) people started to rise so "pity" theme of inclusiveness - there was whole campaign to inform about much aspects of life of people with disabilities. The aim is, of course, equality in rights. Right to work, study with "normal" (very sorry for this word, even it's in braces) people, instead of being left behind, study or even live in internauts.
Nowadays, I say in general, people with various types of disabilities are everywhere and, in my opinion, CAN DO EVERYTHING as well as"normals" people without disabilities. And Lisa is of the same opinion. She sees potential in them - you can do this, while you're able to do that". While Marge in story wouldn't be opposition of Lisa, but let's said Marge represents obsolete stereotypical opinions about people with disabilities. She just feels empathy for them, without sorta respect and seeing for their development prospectives. And, obviously, Marge and Lisa would have conflict over it. And I'd lie, saying this is right position, while other is completely wrong. No: it's really good to respect, empathy for people with disabilities, but also important to feel respect, equality for them.
I'd also to note on "with various types of disabilities". These are people with: Down syndrome, autistics (in different forms), physical disabilities, hard dyslexia, cerebral palsy, speech defects etc. It would need to take a bunch of respective guest voices.
About the title: "Invalid Inclusiveness". First, it's kinda of abusing phrase. Because, as I had said above, "invalids" is wrong title for people with disabilities, though much shorter to write. And "inclusiveness" isn't just about disease. Temporary disabilities, impossibility with prams for mothers, seniors' unable to read clear etc.
Afterall, I say, I do not belong to people with disabilities: nor mentally nor physically. However, I do know there are several users on NHC with some disabilities, who DON'T HIDE IT. I always had a respect for them. Err… this idea dedicated to you, guys and gals.
