Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law by President George H.W. Bush at White House 30 years ago today. Passed House passed 377–28 on July 12, 1990 and Senate 91-6 one day later. #ADA30
House:clerk.house.gov/evs/1990/roll2…
Senate:senate.gov/legislative/LI… ImageImage
Only one of 28 House members who voted against ADA in 1990 remains in Congress: Tennessee Congressman Jim Cooper, one of 3 Democrats to vote No. None of the 6 Senators who voted against it currently serve in the Senate.
Langevin:"As someone who's lived w/a disability since 16,I've witnessed the transformation we've made into a more accessible & inclusive society.W/o the ADA,I quite possibly wouldn't have the privilege of representing RI's 2nd District in Congress."

Education Sec. Cardona on whether what's happening to Jewish students at Columbia & other colleges & universities is okay:"Absolutely not. I think what's happening on our campuses is abhorrent. Hate has no place on our campuses & I'm very concerned w/the reports of antisemitism."
Image
Cardona:"I've spoken to Jewish students who have feared going to class as a result of some of the harassment that they're facing on campuses. It's unacceptable and we're committed as a Department of Education to adhering to Titile VI enforcement. We have 137 open cases."
Cardona: "We take this very seriously. We've increased the number of communications to college campuses to make sure that they have what they need in terms of the law and best practices on how they make sure they're protecting students."
