Editorial: Sex life has no place in disability discrimination claim
July 29th, 2008From the Topeka [KS] Capital-Journal:
A federal appeals court has taken laws prohibiting discrimination against people with disabilities into territory we don’t think those who drafted the laws ever anticipated they would venture.
We’re sure we never imagined the Rehabilitation Act, passed by Congress in 1973 and a forerunner to the Americans with Disabilities Act, would be invoked to cover a “sexual disability.” We’re still mystified at how a such a disability is anything an employer or potential employer should be made aware of and hope further court action in the case offers some enlightenment.
