Yes, and the movement has been very, very wide in terms of its public face and the way that its been presented to the public, i would say. I think its changing.

New york, washington, whatever, the police came in or the people in the community refused to help them. In the bay area, what was amazing is you had this coalition of community groups, of politicians, of people that really cared about disability rights. Or if they didnt care, they learned to care.

Thank you for allowing us to come today. Hold on for two seconds. Just want to make sure that everybody is here. Come on in. Colleagues, today i would like to take this opportunity to recognize a school, a new preschool that is thriving. In february of 2008, when a group of parents, frustrated with the lack of quality preschools in San Francisco, open the school to provide a multi lingual, multicultural environment where people can freely develop their gifts and interests. 45 children from diverse cultural backgrounds attended the school and enjoy the program with an innovative mandarin immersion approach.

Please join me in thanking the school for providing the city of San Francisco with nurturing the infinite capacity of young children. Thank you all for coming today. Thank you, su
