[nabs-l] A moral question

[hannah]

I think if a person has a vision impairment and needs a cane 
sometime or uses one, then they should bring it with them to a 
job interview because one never knows what's going to happen.  
For example they might be expected to read or write something and 
the person only has enough vision for large print, but the people 
didn't know it, then the person might not be hired.  Also if a 
person brings their cane with them beforehand, then the people 
would know how to assist because if a visually impaired person 
was hired and the coworkers didn't know that the person had a 
disability, then it might cause difficulties.  If a person needs 
a cane, then they should bring it during important events in 
their life such as a job interview because it shows that that 
person is honest and capable.  Also it shows that the person is 
professional.  Anyways those are my thoughts from what I've 
gathered.

>Hey all,

>A hypothetical "what if" for you all to ponder,

>What if a blind person uses a cane regularly, but has enough 
vision to suffice without it.  Would it be moral for that person 
to not take his/her cane into a job interview for the purposes of 
hidiinf a disability until after a job offer is made?

>Think discrimination laws vs lying vs.  Dr.  Jernigan's "The 
Nature of Independence" (By having the blindness training, you 
retain the option to choose between methodologies).

>I'd be particularly curious to hear how our leadership would 
answer this question.
