-Some men were such awful husbands to their wives. If the husband felt that his
wife was not living up to his standards he would then just send her away and lock
her up in Newark. For simple reasons, maybe he felt she wasn’t keeping up with
the household duties as well as she should be…Conclusion? She would be sent
to Newark for just that reason alone.
Some people were sent there for good reasons but also there are some women
who are sent there just because of what there husband thinks about them
-Newark first opened as an experimental branch of Syracuse state school In 1878.
-Newark state school became an independent institution in 1885.
-The main purpose of this institution was to instruct females only.
-Boys could then finally be admitted in 1932.

-The picture you just saw was a
picture of a disabled person
working out in a field.
-Way back then, people would
have all the individuals with
disabilities work out in the big
open fields doing farm work
because no one would be able
to see them that way.

There are several people in our world today who are born with
some kind of disability. However, years ago they tried to stop the
birth of disabled individuals in a terrible way. In hopes to stop the
birth of more individuals with disabilities…
People would
become sterilized! This means that they would make it so that people with
disabilities are no longer able to produce because they did not
want to take the risk that people with disabilities would end up
giving birth so a child with disabilities. This is known as NEGATIVE
EUGENICS. NEGATIVE EUGENICS states that once this sterilization
has taken place the society would then be “cleansed”.

-It was also believed that many immigrants
were mentally defective and would
contribute to crime. They would under go
tests at Ellis Island to determine their mental
status.
-The Eugenic policy~
If someone was not like “ourselves” they
were less than perfect.

During the middle ages it is was
believed that many towns had
“idiot cages”. These were used
to keep people with disabilities
and mental illnesses “out of
trouble” while providing a
source of entertainment for the
townspeople.

-Little Moron was a book of “jokes” that used humor at the expense of the “Little Moron”
-Unfortunately, the word moron is still used today by many people as a form of criticism.
-The word “moron” was used to describe people with en I.Q. of 50-69
- Today, people with that I.Q. level are described by the American Psychiatric Association as having “mild mental retardation”

-After going through this slide show, I hope that you can now confidently say that everyone as readers will stop saying the R
word.
-The R word is highly degrading and very hurtful. Even if you are
not putting it to use and trying to use it in a hurtful way, it often
times is so offensive no matter what. In other words, even when
the R word is not said to harm someone with a disability, it is so
hurtful.
-Please from now on, try your very best to stop the spread of the
use of the R word!

-You can now see how much of a difference people with disabilities
were treated years ago compared to how they are treated now.
-Everything I included in this slideshow were facts that were brand new
to me! I knew people were treated badly, but I really didn’t think things
got that terrible.
-It was awful and extremely sad to even think that people were treated
that badly. They treated them as if they were some kind of animal.
-However on a positive note, today we have changed all of that and
have very good programs that supply help for those who are disabled
