Who wouldn't love this? 
Back when I was this age, children who were disabled, or "different" or "handicapped" were hidden away. We didn't go to school with them (they had their own building, and never associated with us "normal" kids), nor see them around at the movies, or on Halloween. Same thing with black students (we didn't have many Asian or Latino families around back then in our area): they had their own school, and social mixing was almost unheard of.
Things are much better today, when we can see people not like us everywhere: on TV, in the movies, on the streets, in our schools, at the store... Still a lot of work to be done, but believe me, there's been progress.
