Disability Theology in Pop Culture

Disability theology is everywhere in pop-culture. The problem is it might not be very politically correct.  It is fine to participate in these phenomena as long as we are able to critically analyze what we are viewing.

bad

This is a better example
"Let justice roll down like waters," the words proclaimed, "and righteousness like an everlasting stream." Never before had the Bible seemed so relevant to me!
Within forty-eight hours, I had an appointment with the school president. He ushered me into his office and sat down across from me. "Before we discuss possible construction," he said, "I just want to give you a moment to share your pain."
I paused, thinking his comment a rather condescending way to begin a meeting. "I'm not in any pain," I said curtly, "I just want a place to go to the bathroom."
