The administration is trying to broaden the definition of disability to include Americans who have correctable medical problems, such as nearsightedness. And the EEOC wants new regulations so that employees can demand reassignment to different supervisors if they feel stressed under their current supervisors. As it is, the disability bill has been exploited by employees claiming nebulous mental health problems, headaches, and back pains. The more preferences that we have and the longer we have them, the more inequalities we introduce and the more difficult it becomes to eliminate them. It is time to cut back on affirmative action before America turns into a society of endless preferences.
Affirmative action runs against the grain of American history.
It is divisive. The status to cherish is that of the classic American citizen, free and equal. Send your comments to him by clicking here.
