DON’T BE AN ABLEISM ENABLER OR APOLOGIST
Why is everyone an ableism enabler?
Every time I point out the evil of a brand new
shop accessed only by steps, I get an avalanche of apologist replies “maybe the
architect doesn’t know” about the ADA.
If an
architect is not aware of the Americans with Disabilities Act, (the law of the
land for a third of a century) then they are better suited for shoveling pig
poop than designing places and spaces for human beings.
Why are everyday people so aggressive about making lack of access the fault of people with disabilities?
Forgiving a business for not knowing it must serve all is as
ludicrous as forgiving a chef for not knowing to wash his hands after wiping
his heinie.
