THE ADA MAKES US STRONGER
AS A PEOPLE AND AS A NATION
As a writer/planner/educator/activist involved in the disability community since before the ADA was enacted in 1990, the headline of the main story concerned me.
I wonder if a story about people suing to uphold their basic civil rights — were it based on gender or race — would have the word extortion in the headline.
I think not.
Certainly,
there may be some very aggressive lawyers and like anything on earth, the ADA
and its enforcement is imperfect.
Government in these parts often is poorly executed and a good many public officials come up on corruption charges.
But I don’t see anyone calling for disbanding
government.
