You might think that. But the federal law is absolutely clear.
I worked as a CADD draftsman and a manager at a MUCH higher level (bosses’ bosses bosses boss or such) wanted his bathroom remodeled. I did the design to ADA specs. He said “no I don’t have to do that”... it was, I must confess, a pleasure to hear my boss tell him, in no uncertain terms, that outside of a private residence there was NO bathroom in the country that didn’t have to follow those specs, as it always is when the high and mighty get a comeuppance.
IOW, either of our opinions are inconsequential, it is a very strictly enforced law, maybe the most universally and stringently enforced federal law there is, and pretty much any non private residence outside of the military is going to have to abide by every jot and tittle.
Safety and ability come into play, don’t they? Probably not, but seems like they should. Dancing is a physical activity and while Down Syndrome children are precious, they are not physically or intellectually able to do what their non DS peers can do. It is more than just physical access to a building or a bathroom.
I’m probably wrong. The world has placed its collective brain into a blender and it has lost all attachment to reason and logic.
BTW, I was visiting a friend in Texas once and rode with her to her bank’s drive thru ATM. The buttons had braille on them. BRAILLE! It is a drive up ATM. Hello? If you are blind I would hope that you are not driving.
Hit it dead on the head. The lady that used to do the inspection on my projects was confined to a wheelchair but she could read the plans and read a tape measure down to the thousandth of an inch, at least it seemed that way to me.
It was actually good to work with her, she kept me on my toes.
