The City of Concord’s Recreation Services Department announced a significant expansion of its “Inclusive Adult Recreation” program, according to a press release from the city.
The program is for adults with disabilities aged 18 and older. While previously only offering bowling once a week and monthly dances with partnering city agencies, the program is broadening its horizons to provide more frequent opportunities for adults with disabilities to socialize and get together.
The program’s expansion includes a monthly Movie & Game Night, which will provide social opportunities in a cozy and friendly environment with access to various board games, puzzles, and movies. The inaugural Movie & Game Night is set to take place on Thursday, Jan. 18 at the Concord Senior Center from 4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Advanced registration is required for this event and can be purchased online: $5 for Concord residents and $10 for non-residents. Caregivers and parents receive complimentary entry and do not need to be registered.
The headline is confusing. “Inclusive” in the headline then in the body it says “is for adults with disabilities aged 18 and older”
That’s right. Not all of the activities and programs in the past would have been easily accessible to those with disabilities. I think it’s a good move. Now let’s get some more accessible parking downtown since they took away so many parking spaces around the square.
I know what was that all about. The parking down there is a joke.
Why no drag show? If you want to be inclusive, you need to have a disabled drag show. So much hate and intolerance!
I’m sorry, as soon as I hear “inclusive,” “equity,” or “diversity,” I just assume everyone involved is a commie that wants to end America as founded. Just like if they call people “comrade,” talk about “rasing a critical consciousness,” etc.
How do you think America was founded? Do you believe that one day a person woke up and said “I’m Irish” or “I love Italy” like they were adopting sports teams?
We’ve been diverse since the 1900s.
I am fine with diversity the way you and normal people mean it. When neo Marxists use the term, they mean something entirely different. They mean a good Marxist identity. Straight white Christian males are the new bourgeoisie, everyone else is can be a part of the new proletariat. That proletariat is being rallied into an army to overthrow the heteronormative patriarchal racist order, or in normal language, the US and the constitution. They already had a win in that battle with the George Floyd color revolution. Now crime has been partially decriminalized for people with a good Marxist identity, and the book gets thrown at the bourgeois/white males. See Daniel Penny. This is “equity.”
People are utterly asleep to what is happening, because it isn’t coming in the form they expect. The Marxists haven’t been sitting still since Stalin and Mao, they have been innovating and changing. Get with the times, because time is short.
See Xi Van Fleet and Lilly Tang for examples of what I’m babbling about.
Well said, Wage Slave! You are completely correct!
I recommend people watch a new documentary (released November 2023) called: The Fall of Minneapolis and learn what truly occurred during George Floyd’s arrest.
Sadly, a couple days after this documentary aired, Derek Chauvin was stabbed twenty-two times.
One of the producers is a former mainstream news reporter and anchorwoman in Minneapolis who worked in that capacity for decades
It is an eye-opener to say the least.
You are a very simple, trusting person if you think this is about traditional American values. By the way, where did I say anything about freedom of speech? That is something the Marxists hate.
I love diversity. I love my fellow Americans who embrace liberty and freedom, regardless of who they are. I hate communists, and you are a fool if you don’t see what is happening. Did California become overrun by homeless drug addicts for no reason? Did Soros bankroll dozens of DAs, ours included, to no end? Why is a white man who stopped a thug on the Subway in NY being prosecuted for murder, when a black man who did almost the exact same thing was released without charges? Why did all the Ivy Deans get up in front of congress and defend the right to call for Jewish genocide in the name of the 1st ammendment, while being the same people who expell students who refuse to use coerced pronouns? Is the multi-thousand fold increase in “trans kids” just a natural occurrence? Why was Trump opposed by even members of his own party for wanting to stop illegal immigration, while Biden can unilaterally rewrite the asylum laws to allow in anyone who claims it at the rate of millions per year and congress does nothing?
I love America, and we seem to be living at the end of it. The oligarchs who control things scream and point the finger at Trump while they “fundamentally transform” it, as a community organizer and President once said.
We don’t live in normal times. It is not normal for Antifa to march through Walnut Creek and threaten diners as they did in 2020. Its not normal for the whole country to be boarded up for an election as we were. It’s not normal for organized gangs of thieves to ransack stores with almost no consequences, as they do. It’s not normal for thousands of people to have a riot at the capitol over the certification of an election.
Look around you, pal. This isn’t the country you grew up in anymore.
My long winded reply was to a comment that seems to have been deleted. I’m not as crazy as I may seem 😄
Thankfully the sky is still blue in my universe and erroring on the side of including instead of excluding has served me well both personally and professionally. Curious to me that others chose a different approach. But that’s life, each on their own path. 🥾 ♋️😎
