Ever since the Americans with Disabilities Act was put into effect, the disabled community has gotten "advocations" which are giving them benefits that the rest of us do not have access to. For example, 504 plans and IEPs are a part of the Americans with Disabilities Act directed towards children with disabilities in school. Children with 504s and IEPs receive things like extended time, closed captioning, and being frequently checked in on by the teacher. This can be a big inconvenience for other non-disabled students, as they feel excluded with these accommodations. For instance, if a child with a 504 requires closed captioning, it's frustrating for other students, as the captions block the video being shown. Plus, when it comes time for PSATs and SATs, students with extended time tend to do better and that's unfair to the rest of us. But the problem isn't just in school. The deaf community has its own language, and handicapped people get parking spots and fancy shopping carts that we can't use! And it's completely unfair. So join me in eliminating this sinful "act" and making this country a better place.
