NFL to present new resolutions to Rooney Rule, which includes draft-related incentives
And therein is the difference in our positions.
I assert that in no circumstances is discrimination acceptable, and you believe that given the proper situation, it is.
At that point the circumstances become entirely subjective, and therefore suspect.
Wrong is wrong, and your arguing otherwise is subjective upon condition.
So a special education student doesn't deserve accommodations?
I taught a girl who was 90% blind and the district paid for a full time aide for her and a machine that enabled her to read notes and text, which had to be pushed around on a cart. Did she not deserve that?
I had a couple of students who were wheelchair-bound and another who needed a walker. Two of the three were poor and their wheelchair and walker were paid for by the state and fed. Without it, they couldn't come to school - should they have not received these?
I've had a *ton* of students who were on free or reduced lunch - should they all of just been denied food because they didn't have money for it?
I had a cousin born to a heroin-addicted mother. They had no money and the state paid for this baby to have the drug administered so that she didn't die of withdrawal. Should she have been allowed to?
I've had kids who were diagnosed with anxiety and depression and bi-polar disorders - incl to the point of being suicida - again, poor, and were given support and medication without having to pay.
The list goes on and on.
Is it still your contention that "
in no circumstances is discrimination acceptable, and you believe that given the proper situation, it is."
These are all examples of some kids getting some things that other kids didn't. It's discrimination. If you think all of these are unacceptable, then I suppose isn't anywhere to go after this.
But each of these are valid, however 'subjective' they are. And I don't think that "subjective" mutually inclusive with being "suspect"
