IS FREEDOM FROM ABLEISM
Ableism is vile, repugnant and a threat to people with disabilities.
It’s as
insidious as racism
If you don’t
know what it is, it’s basically nasty bigotry – but based on a person using a
wheelchair instead of racism discriminating based on the color of skin.
I learned of
a government department head emailing other department heads to warn that the
"Americans with Disabilities Act office is on the warpath and picking on
noncompliance."
The ADA
protects basic civil/human rights.
Standing up
for them is NOT on the warpath.
This mean-spirited and hateful alert sender serves hundreds of thousands of constituents.
Would he whine and push back on protecting civil rights based on
race or gender?
Probably
not.
So why are
the human rights of people with disabilities constantly under attack?
