Has anyone perhaps thought that this, rather than being an example of something wrong with laws intending to protected the (severely) disadvantaged, is an example of something wrong with our societal attitude toward disability?
Every day I encounter some small new stone in the foundation for a social model of disability.
Perhaps if we would see people and think, not:
"burden,"
but:
"potential,"
we would reach a place of balance in this world.
