You might remember that I created an award called the Stupidity Award for Promoting Prejudice a while back and gave the first to an NBC sports writer who didn’t see anything wrong with a high school dance team in Waunakee, Wisconsin wearing straight jackets with the word PSYCHO WARD printed on them as they performed in a state competition. 
I was tipped off to that school’s insensitive, stigma-promoting performance by a fellow mental health blogger, Chrisa Hickey, who posts her thoughts at The Mindstorm: Raising a Mentally Ill Child.
Chrisa sent me an email about a new example of stigma in the media. From reading her note, it sounds as if another SAPP award is due.
