The ADA is a civil rights law for persons with disabilities. As such, it
covers the work place and it is frivolous actions brought by "bozos" re:
their employment which get the most coverage by the press. However, as a
civil rights act, the ADA covers rights inside a restaurant, or hospital or
any other facility which is unrelated to employment. This act also covers
persons of any age and even states in a definition of "disability" as person
once erroneously labeled with a disability. So, if a kid is mislabeled and
placed in an MR class in the 3rd grade, say, he is covered under the ADA when
he is 30 years old and has an IQ of 120! The is a little known segment of the
ADA.
