[NAGDU] New GDB contract

[Howard J. Levine]

I will say again any Contract can be broken. The school can enforce the contract if person does not have money or the help defend them self in court of law. Some of school don't care about blind they only care about stayin charge and making money off the blind.

I'm not sure how they could enforce that agreement if challenged, either, Jenine.  In the first place, it sounds an awful lot like a contract of adhesion if the handler is required to sign after training. Secondly, the agreement is self-contradictory.   How can you have ownership and also be subject to losing ownership by violating their rules.   In reality, I think it is no more than a cudgel to beat the unsophisticated into compliance, or unsophisticated officials into removing the dog without due process, or using the power of the purse (legal fees) to take away someone's guide dog.  Anyway, the whole approach is paternalist, disrespectful of an entire group of people based on their disability, and demeaning.  It is very reminiscent of the not-too-distant past when social services, welfare agencies, and charities could remove children from parents who had physical limitations with virtually no due process at all.
