When Congress in 1964 passed a law saying access must be equal, if the restaurants and bus stations had continued to keep separate bathrooms and separate water fountains, there would have been a bloodbath in this country. Same thing with women's rights. We'll get around to giving the girls a swim team sometime. Women would have gone crazy. It seems like the ADA works best in employment cases.
Employment is a losing battle.
Let me tell you an entity that has been cowardly and im-potent. Under Section 503 of the Rehab Act, since 1973, every single business that gets a contract with the federal government was supposed to have an affirmative program for hiring persons with disabilities. The U.S. Department of Labor has never, ever, enforced that. Go and find out when Boeing gets a federal contract for billions of dollars how many people with disabilities have they hired, how many will they hire, what are they doing. It's not quotas.
