Lies of omission are things unsaid, so no not able to.

Oh and we're talking about Glee because that is what has been on screen. There are plenty of other examples (which I'm hoping to discuss on my new blog when it's ready), but please don't assume that people's understanding about what disability means only comes from 'serious' documentaries.
