you had a teacher that looked like baldwick! i am so incrediably jealous
really? i'm not american so i clearly shld not be talking about american law. but i am going to anyway, so sorry if I have gotten it all horribly wrong.
I read a American supreme court decision that ranked how much they would interfer if the legislature passed discrimantory legislation. they would look more closely at stuff relating to race and the legislature would have to have a better justification for passing it (and so on down the list).
unless this hase been overturned, It means that constitutionally, congress wld find it easier to pass legislation discriminating against disabled people than they would if they passed legislation discriminating against black people. I'm glad that this hasn't actually happened.
of course, where I am from, constitutionally, parliament could pass a law killing all blue eyed babies, without any justification. this does not mean it is likely to do so.
