Petition: ‘Walk Only’ Signs in Pedestrian Areas Are Insensitive to Disabled People by KATHERINE TIMPF May 15, 2015
Arizona State University was trying to protect students from getting hit by cars. Students at Arizona State University are petitioning to have the school change the “Walk Only” signs on the school’s pedestrian paths because they “marginalize disabled bodies that cannot walk.” “This petition is in effort to make a more blanket title for these zones that encompasses the diversity of all bodies who occupy the community that is ASU,” states the petition, written by Alec Melger. (Just to clarify:
Although these areas are called “Walk Only Zones,” they are “not intended to limit or redirect use of mobility devices by individuals with disabilities,” according to the school website. In fact, ASU also offers transportation services for disabled students. The issue here is with the signs and not with accessibility – unless of course there are any students who are so triggered by the word “walk” that they have to avoid the area.)

Will “swim at own risk” sign be insensitive to people who cannot swim?
Liberalism is Satan-driven.
GYAATS. That’s WAY better....
OK,
What if you want to run? or stroll? or jog? or crawl?
I wonder if ISIS is going to respect all thee rules when they arrive?
Liberals are retards. (Not mentally challenged or anything like that. They are just f’n retarded.)
SCOTUS’ fault and the Presidents’ who appointed them.
I think the whole thing makes me think this is microaggresion
“Students at Arizona State University are petitioning to have the school change the “Walk Only” signs on the school’s pedestrian paths because they “marginalize disabled bodies that cannot walk.”
No, the disabled are not “being marginalized”. They may “feel marginalized” but their feelings are NOT facts. They are not being denied a single thing due to these signs which would be the description of someone “being marginalized”
This country is done…it is all downhill from here…the only hope is that people between twenty and forty have a revolution against big government…
Seriously, we should not be granting these nitwits any credibility.
ALL signs are insensitive to blind people. Remove all signs now!
CRAWL/HOBBLE/STAGGER/ZONE
Yes I know, but the ones I know does not give me much confidence they will get off their Phones and etc, and make it happen.
“Students at Arizona State University”
Who raised these idiots?
Walk or Limp Only
Pedestrian means walking. Can’t call it that.
these people should consider living in a closet and never coming out - 'cause they will meet 'uncomfortable' every where they go = forever...
I suspicion it's more about needing to be feel relevant on some plane - any plane
