Actually, it's just ignorance. People are afraid of things they don't understand. My wife is handicapped. Cerebral Palsy. When we were first married we worked together on a daily newspaper in S. Texas - there was a critical need for blood locally - we went to donate a pint. The person signing us in to donate blood wondered why my wife used crutches to get around. She told her it was due to CP from birth - they refused to let her donate blood. We walked out and she was upset and crying by the time we reached the car. The pilot in this story was probably thinking of the safety of his other passengers but he was also ignorant of the effect he had on an innocent passenger and his family. My wife and I have been married now for 36 years. We publish a real estate magazine in central Texas. ;o)
Well, under the law, the airlines is not permitted to discriminate against handicapped people and their families. Leftists don’t want handicapped even born because they don’t see them as humans worthy of life. American Airlines has been into harrassing people they don’t like politically or socially. They were aggressively rude to Glenn Beck last week, too. I’d use a different airline. They are too ignorant to be flying planes.
