Does ADA disempower Deaf people?

[DeafJennyWitty]

Why does ADA decide FOR the Deaf to drop lawsuit? Only the Deaf can decide to drop the lawsuit, or the judge decides that the case has no merit (value) or needs to go to mediation (in between office/org to work out compromise/agreement etc).

In some ways, the ADA is a great step forward for people with *physical* disabilities -- giving us legal protection in seeking access to employment and public life. BUT where it fails, is that it lumps all different types of disabilities together, with a one-size-fits all, approach, AND (biggest failing) gives governments and businesses a specific "Letter of the Law" to follow, so people can read the law in its narrowest sense, and say: "not my problem!"

[ASLVisions]

Why Now? Better than never see what happened. It happened tons of time as I told people about ADA. It is a worse law ever I seen since its' history of laws for the deaf people. Look at the corporations? nasty of their loop on deaf people. Hearing people can have the job that can building their resume by involved with ADA. YUCK!!!
