[nabs-l] Bad News for blind and visually impaired people

[Chris Nusbaum]

Sadly, no.  I agree, Bridgit! Dr.  tenBroek made a great point in 
his famous speech Within the Grace of God, when he said 
(paraphrasing) "Our founding fathers said in the Declaration of 
Independence that "all men are created equal." This does not 
exclude anyone with disability, including the blind."

This is a perfect example of how we are not all equal in America.  
This
is a time honored tradition in a country that prides itself on 
being the
land of the free.  The Civil Rights era is still going strong, 
and those
with disabilities have now entered the race.  A judge just said, 
"You
have no right to access these forms of information even though 
those
with sight can."  Where are our rights?  This thinking, this kind 
of
ruling makes a statement that those with sight are superior to 
those
without sight.  All people are in deed not created equal in this
country.

Sincerely,
Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter

This was posted when the decision came out and discussed at
considerable length.  This is the problem when you start 
forwarding
people?s forwards of forwarded forwards?the NFB was the plaintiff 
in
the case, so of course we know the outcome already.

The judge ruled California state law does not supersede the 
federal
Air Carrier Access Act which claims any and all jurisdiction for
accessibility in and around airports.

We?re not done with this.
