The faculty used to have to get annual chest X-Rays for TB in our school district. They had a chest X-ray bus come around.We did TB testing for all freshmen every year. It was fun to try to guess how many kids ... usually boys ... would faint at the pinpricks they got.
Correct. ADAAA acknowledges that HIV status isn’t highly transmissible, so it’s not a legitimate reason to terminate an employee.
But other communicable diseases - like COVID, or Ebola, for example - can meet the requirements of the “direct threat” analysis, meaning it meets the requirement of posing a direct threat to health & safety of employee or others (in which case, termination doesn’t violate the ADAAA). And someone who refuses to get the vaccine - who doesn’t have a medical condition that makes them unable to get the vaccine - is not a member of a protected class.
ETA: Again, for accuracy, someone who is HIV+ but doesn’t have AIDS may be considered to be someone who is “perceived as” disabled, even if they don’t have an actual disability. Taking an adverse employment action like termination would still be a violation of the ADAAA.
As a different example, I had a client who terminated an employee for threatening to beat the shit out of a security guard. Employee claimed he was discriminated against for the “perceived disability” of having anger-management issues. For the record, that wasn’t a winning argument.
I've lived here all my life. I am just outside a large liberal city, in a suburban liberal-arts college town. So you'd expect it to be even just a LIIIIITTLE bluer than elsewhere. And maybe that's true. But my neighbors still have a 4x6 ft Diaper Don flag in their yard, bigger than the US flag they fly. They still (STILL!!!) have the original Trump/Pence sign up in the lawn from 2016. For nearly 3 decades, I've watched this crap state go from "shitty but at least kinda purple" to... Idk, it's beyond red. Is "cesspool" a color? It's dirty, angry, ugly, and mean here. Idiots are exalted, ignorance is admired, the planet is viewed as humanity's litter box to be shat up at will, Black Americans are treated as subhuman, women are well on their way to being officially classified as livestock, and frankly, it's a matter of time before we go Full Texas.Everybody knows, you NEVER go Full Texas.
I always hope that one day the rubes, hayseeds, and morons will wake up and realize they're getting dicked by the GQP, but I don't have much faith that will ever happen.
But according the the Daily Beast, we're the monsters for mocking the anti-vaxxer's deaths as it shows our lack of empathy for people incubating mutant death germs
This reminds me of when the Supreme Court ruled that a law blocking protests within 30 feet of an abortion clinic was unconstitutional. They admitted that free entry and exit should be protected, but only in the least intrusive manner and not with a certain set back. The right wing cheered, now they could get up close and scream at the women entering.
At the same time, Rev. Barber was conducting his Moral Monday protests at the North Carolina general assembly building. Hundreds of people were arrested for trespassing. Shortly after the Supreme Court decision, the local DA dropped all of the charges based on the trespassing charges being arbitrary and not the least restrictive in a public space. The same people cheering about the abortion clinic ruling were screaming no fair on the local decision. Of course, the general assembly solved the problem by changing the regulations on public areas inside the building, making most of it off limits to the public so the legislators would not get their sensitive feelings hurt by having to listen to protesters.

We're having the same feelings towards them as they have for us - isn't that empathy as we feel their anger but direct at a different target!
They are as big as Nicki Minaj's cousins friend's.
I look at it like this...

I love that one!

Thanks for the information. Also? Best name ever.
The word is "isolated," not "segregated."

Yeah, SorryAntixxer had to shut off comments because of that drivel.
Unfortunately, I imagine this every day.
