The article is well-written, but it leaves out an enormous amount of context. Most importantly, ADA and disability law violations are de rigeur. They are common, frequent, every day occurrences. Ask people w/ mobility impairments how airlines handle their wheelchairs.

Hey @1NadineSmith so its 3 months since I asked you and all of @equalityfl why you refused to respond to the documented, gross violations of decency - and law - in your own backyard.
Your response?
None.
What then, do you do?

Still no response. @1NadineSmith I read your piece om activists who inspired you early on.
