CBeebies Cerrie Burnell

"When Cerrie Burnell (pictured) joined the presenting team of the BBC children's programme CBeebies last month many applauded the decision, not least because, as a disabled person with one arm, it appeared to be fulfilling the Beeb's avowed aim of offering equal opportunities.
However, they didn't counter on the bigotry of some parents. A flurry of complaints about the appointment have appeared on parenting message boards on the CBeebies website, with some so vicious that they had to be removed by moderators. Wrote one blogger: "Is it just me, or does anyone else think the new woman presenter on CBeebies may scare the kids because of her disability? I didn't want to let my children watch the filler bits on The Bedtime Hour [a segment of CBeebies] last night because I know it would have played on my eldest daughter's mind and possibly caused sleep problems. And yes, this is a serious post."
Some even accused the BBC of hiring 29-year-old Burnell because of 'political correctness' and solely to meet employment quotas. One notice board comment read: "What is scary is the BBC's determination to show "minorities" on CBeebies at every available opportunity! This new presenter is crap -face facts - but because she has a disability then she was given a job. [It is] positive discrimination in my books."
A BBC spokesman said it had received only nine formal complaints about Burnell, and insisted that the new presenter had also received messages of support and that many parents were keen to have a range of people on screen. As to Burnell, who admitted she was upset by some of the remarks, she said: "It just goes to show how important it is to have positive disabled role models on CBeebies and television in general."

so what do you think... was the BBC right to have a disabled person with one arm presenting a kids tv programme?

I think it’s the parents that have the problem and not the kids?
