The episode (which, yes, I have actually seen) was actually an example of equal, non-discriminatory treatment in its purest form--just not the "warm and fuzzy" kind people like to see. The Down's Syndrome girl was portrayed as the opposite of the usual Down's stereotype, therefore showing that people of all kinds are unique beyond their "classification" and have their own personality and character.
I have tried, but I don't remember Palin being mentioned at all.
