[nagdu] Jury finds IA Dept. for Blind's guide dog policydoesnot discriminate

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (IT)]

I think we have a misunderstanding on what "offer" means. 
If a program offers white cane training, is it an offer, as in a person
can refuse? Taco Bell offers nachos, it doesn't mean they're going to
insist I eat them if I go in there. 
Likewise, if a program says cane training is manditory, then I'd expect
it to mean just that, just like if Taco Bell said nachos wer e
mantitory. 
Perhaps this could be resolved by changing the language so that all are
clear on expectations?

I believe they are correct.  It would be ludicrice to go to train with a
dog guide and demand to use your cane the entire time.  If a program
states they offer white cane training, you are going to white cane
training, not dog guide training.  This of course, is just my opinion on
the matter.  This has been rehashed countless times, and as long as it
all remains civil, it can be rehashed again.
