Dad Refuses to Give Up Dream of Retarded Son Going to College

Left: Jerry Winslow, Eddie, and normal son Todd

(Madison, WI) "Defeat" is not a word in the vocabulary of Jerry Winslow, and the arrival of his son Eddie in 1978 posed a unique challenge for the industrial sales rep.

"When the doc said the word 'retarded,' it really threw me for a loop," said Winslow, admitting that he was "pretty weirded out" when faced with the prospect of parenting a special needs child. "But I made a decision right then and there: no boy of mine is ever going to be a quitter, no matter how mental or freakish he is."

Winslow vows that, despite his challenges, Eddie will one day graduate from a state college.

"Yeah, he's 28 now, and still working on the alphabet, but this kid is not going to let his old man down, are you Eddie?" he asked the young man. "Are you, sport? SPORT? Attaboy - now quit drooling, because humans don't drool!"

Winslow said that nothing will stop Eddie from reaching his dream.

"I don't care if we have to pay someone to take his tests for him - the kid is getting his bachelor's degree," said Winslow. "I will not have anyone in this family hiding his pansy ass behind the label of 'disabled,' so Mr. Knuckledragger here better think twice before playing the moron game to try and get out of being a success in life."

Jerry Winslow..., what a sensitive and caring individual he is.

But what about his not so special son Todd?

With Jerry it's all he can talk about,
Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie...

This Jerry dude seems to be favoring one son over the other and, that's just not right. He's an insensitive bigot.
