I think it's great too. I think that children's programs should expose kids' to all kinds of different people. It would be a HUGE controversy to keep, say, a person of a specific race off the television program based on race, so why shouldn't it be a controversy to keep a woman with a limb difference off the television program based on that?
And since she GOT the job, it would appear that would be the only reason for removing her.
I think that if a kid was "freaked out" then it says something to the parents - that they should talk to their kids!!! If everytime parents had to explain something new to their kids they just freaked out and ran away from the problem - well, those of you with kids know how little would get done!
