Haven’t you seen the Braille keypads and instruction panels at ATMs? They’re required by ADA. Been there for years.

Of course I have but you were referring to drive up ATMs and I don’t use them. At a drive up ATM it’s quite funny.

It's hilarious. But yes, they have them at drive up ATMs. Somebody like John Stossel did a story about government regulatory stupidity some years ago, and highlighted this exact thing. The answer he got was that it could be that a chauffeur driven blind person could want to use the drive-thru ATM, and it had to be accessible.

It’s the madness of the ADA,the worst act ever.

I want to know who picked up the phone and vomited into the mouthpiece.

Me, too. Apparently it was an "anonymous complaint." Whoever did it is not only a sniveling busybody, but a coward, as well.

Hopefully it will help turn Michigan Red!!!

I remember going to Caro in the early 90's and watching a Blue Helmet Shoot. You have a pretty good start.

The proper response for this and many other Federal orders is to say NO!

And if some dads had gotten together and built something nice for their daughters, I'm sure it would have been ripped right down too.

Right?

Right?

The right is out WORKING. Somebody has to. They are busy minding their business, raising their families and getting things done. The Left is populated with losers who spend all day tearing down other people and trying to bring other people down.

Government psychopaths.

When God was giving out brains they thought he said rain and ran home for an umbrella.

When God was giving out smarts they thought he said farts and ran away and hid.

These are the kinds of things one of my teachers would tell a student when they did really poorly, seems appropriate for these morons.

In the age where a leftist like Obama can be elected president, these kind of actions will be the normal in the not-too-distant future. That’s the way leftists think.

It isn’t just him though.

How long before the same idiots demand equal attendance figures for boys and girls sports? Major college men’s football and basketball teams almost always heavily outdraw women’s athletic teams. How long before these psychos under the “disparate outcome” argument shut down men’s teams because they outdraw the women? Making the females feel bad of course.

Excuses. The right is simply a bunch of craven cowards.

Tea Partiers may be too polite to save the Republic.

earlier:

So said the farmers minding their own business when the barbarians came to pillage and conquer. If the right won't put down their plowshares and pick up swords, conservatives deserve their fate.

You see “equal ‘opportunity’ “ is NOT about equal “opportunity”. It is instead about equal “result” and if boys and girls do not chose to participate in “school, team sports” equally, and parents do not voluntarily contribute to such involvement “equally”, then that constitutes “disparate impact” (result) and while it may confirm and conform with people’s choices it does not conform to government mandated and artificially “equal” participation.

So if they moved the girls to the boys field, and the boys to the girls field, would they still have to tear it down?

That was my first thought. Relabel the girls field the boys field, and the boys the girls field, and on game day, let the boys borrow the girls field. Problem solved.
