A Whiff of Hypocrisy on the Left in CA
A friend sent me a copy of an article in sfgate.com today in which those who take a lawsuit-based approach to enforcing the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) are taken to task for their "frivolous suits" against small business owners in San Francisco and throughout California.
A couple of the specific anecdotes mentioned do sound a bit over the top. But I find it ironic that the very liberals who lobbied and fought for the ADA in the first place -- in the interest of creating and protecting rights for disabled Americans -- are now claiming to be stressed by the enforcement of the law against small, primarily Latino, business owners.
"Disabled Americans have rights," they seem to be saying, "but not when it comes to small minority businesses for whom compliance would be too big a burden."
Interesting.
