If the people in the special Olympics want a special Olympics and enjoy it, I don't see the problem.

I wouldn't want to take that away from them to satisfy some sort of selfish desire to feel like I'm treating them equally.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
