June,
My wife works for a "special school", so I understand and agree fully with what you mean, and not at all in a "politically correct" way, just in a human way. These unfortunate people are just that - people, not morons.
If people want to see what morons look like, then all they need to do is watch Crimewatch, or any other of the many programmes about low-life.
All the best,
TE.
