No, you are exaggerating to justify your own beliefs.
JB could cure cancer and you would find fault.

Because only an idiot would hire a blind man to judge a beauty contest. Unbunch your panties.

The Biden regime is giving special DEI preferences to categories who cannot function effectively as air traffic controllers. Why would you think they aren't hiring based on those stated DEI preferences? When the "federal government" is the Biden regime, I would not put anything past them, and experience shows they usually do these political things that they say they are doing.

When a job like air traffic controller is critical for the safety of others, it is irresponsible to put people in that job who are not physically or mentally capable of doing it. That is exactly what the Biden FAA is doing with their DEI policies, and in all likelihood people will die from it. If they want to hire persons with these conditions, surely they can find other jobs for them where their conditions will not endanger public safety.

DEI is, indeed, an "ism" as I will explain.

The issue here is DEI, not ADA. Nice attempt to deflect, but you are wrong. These are categories that the Buttigieg-led DOT, which is over the FAA has set out as hiring preferences under DEI. It is hard to imagine anyone in most of these categories having the physical or mental ability to properly function as an air traffic controller. Any ADA complaint would be quickly dismissed on that basis. The Biden FAA is trying to recruit people in these categories as air traffic controllers and give them a preference over well qualified applicants. Do you want someone with a severe intellectual disability or a psychiatric disability controlling the takeoff or landing of a plane YOU are on?

But then again, you previously said you thought people with criminal records should be hired in retail businesses.

DEI is an "ism". It is pure Marxism. The "E" in DEI stands for "equity", which in the Orwellian newspeak of today's far left is a term for equality of result. That concept comes straight from Karl Marx's "Communist Manifesto" and is completely contradictory to the democratic American concept of equality of opportunity. If you are for DEI, you are a Marxist.

I think the point is an employer should not dismiss an application due to an ADA recognized disability. Upon further review an employer can still hire who they think is a best fit.
If you automatically disqualify people you might miss something and it isn't right. No person should be automatically disqualified from a job.

RH- that is an exaggeration and isn't true.

Based on your posts, I respectfully disagree.

How can you possibly forget that up until the 1950's the hiring preference in this country favored white men? Every idiot knows this to be true. I notice you often twist up the smallest of details to in an effort to justify your own ignorance while completely missing the point.

Unlike salvery - Jim Crow is on us.

Racial preference hires at FAA started with Obama in 2013 and did not have the negative impact that the preferences introduced by Biden have had on air traffic controllers. The 8 new target DEI disabilities that the Biden regime targets for hiring air traffic controllers are ALL related to physical or mental disabilities. They are:

Hearing (total deafness in both ears)
Vision (Blind)
Missing Extremities
Partial Paralysis
Complete Paralysis, Epilepsy
Severe intellectual disability
Psychiatric disability
Dwarfism

Maybe a dwarf would be okay in one of these positions, but all of the others have drawbacks on being able to function. In particular, who would want someone with severe intellectual disability or psychiatric disability directing flights they or their loved ones are flying on?

Little Bobbie claims this issue is all about race, but in fact none of these questionable catagories involve race in any way. The near misses and the concern from the travelling public did not come with the racial preferences in 2013 but with the disability DEI preferences in 2021.

JS- your response only re-enforces my argument. When the source of information becomes more important than the information itself, something is wrong.

More like an alternative point of view. One you wont get on FOX, Newsmax or space book. I'm sure you think a lot of what I post is BS, but that's because of how entrenched society has become and generally speaking people only want to hear from those that agree with them.

News is no longer news. Network news is about building a brand at the expense of the truth to make money. The truth is complexly marginalized.

Van Zant, you can cling to the notion that some blacks were "free" pre civil war, but but that hardly absolves us from the crimes against humanity perpetuated during that era. By extension, Jim Crow for some, is still the name of the game.
We can't change the past, but if you cant even admit what happened, then you are good with a repeat. That's not OK.

Really? How many free blacks in antebellum south again? That's just one example of many. You have no credibility, BB.

Yep. Some folks do say some crazy stuff. The BB entity says a lot of stuff that is ridiculously untrue all the time.

From my perspective, the progress made by Arkansas in the direction of online schooling is a remarkable jump towards transforming teaching approaches that extend beyond the usual brick-and-mortar classroom.

The digital schooling platform meets the diverse needs of various students, conserves valuable time by eliminating the obligation to commute, and is applicable for people who have responsibilities outside of school.

It's not solely about mere convenience, but about inclusivity, as it's a superb option for pupils with circumstances that make it hard to physically attend school.

Additionally, not only does it fosters scholastic intelligence but also nurtures computer literacy as well as technological skills in students.

Despite the fact that it does have its challenges, they can be surmounted by employing adequate discipline, efficient time utilization, along with commitment towards learning.

In a time when digital-tech is influencing nearly every
