Critical Disability Studies Hurts Disabled People

Society can and should make certain accommodations for those with disabilities to help people participate in society as equals. But like so many areas of advocacy, these noble ideals have been hijacked by the tenets of “critical theory.” Members of Generation Z have made normalizing disability a priority. We’re seeing a shift from framing disability as a condition, to framing disability as an in-vogue identity. The focus has changed from equal treatment under the law to an ideological power struggle between the disabled oppressed class and abled oppressor privileged class. We have drifted so far from the goal of improving the lives of the disabled, that people with serious disabilities are now shamed for seeking or receiving treatment. Free the People creative director Sam Martin breaks it all down in this episode of The Cult of Wokeness.

Free the People’s mission is simple—to make the values of liberty entertaining, accessible, and human. Free the People deliberately explores issues that bridge the partisan divide—topics like criminal justice reform, health care choice, and opposing corporate cronyism. We produce documentary films, video web series, and podcasts that illuminate the people and ideas changing the world for the better. We reach audiences across the political spectrum as a rational but passionate voice for liberty.

Free the People specializes in video production, creative storytelling, and social media engagement. We are building a community of people who believe in the values of freedom, entrepreneurship, individual responsibility, choice, and peaceful cooperation. Free the People finds and tells stories of people affecting positive change in their community through entrepreneurship and innovation. We defend free choice in everything from drug policy, to health care and retirement, to every aspect of the sharing economy. Our values, like "equal treatment under the law" and "innocent until proven guilty," animate fights for criminal justice reform. We tell the stories of people who have lived through the hardships of authoritarianism and collectivism throughout history. We show our viewers that beautiful things can happen when free people come together to make the world a better place.
