I'm no parent, but I'd rather my kids be exposed early on, when they're young enough to matter-of-factly accept that everyone is different, than when they have a disabled classmate and I find out they've made fun of him because I never taught my kid that it's okay to be different.
And that's why you'll be a better parent than that twat.
I grew up with a few friends with disabilities, they'd always been like that, I'd always known them, it was a complete non-issue.
