History

Step2247 [10]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: A. The Supreme Court ruled that agencies enforcing the act were

defining "disability" too broadly.

Explanation: During the 1980’s, it became clear to the disability community that it should play a very active role in Supreme Court litigation under Section 504. The first Section 504 case which was decided by the Supreme Court in 1979, Southeastern Community College v. Davis, 442 U.S.397, revealed at best, a lack of understanding, and also a hostility toward even applying the concept of discrimination to exclusion based on disability. In that case, a hearing impaired women was seeking admission to the nursing program of Southeastern Community College. The court found that Ms. Davis’s hearing impairment disqualified her to participate in the program because she would not be able to fulfill all of the clinical requirements. However, the Court did not limit itself to the fate of Ms. Davis, but included within the decision several very broad negative interpretations of Section 504.

What does the quote :
MrRa [10]

Answer:

The quote means that the whites will never admit the issue of racism and discrimination that the blacks were treated with.

Explanation:

The given quote is spoken by Malcolm X, an African-American human rights activist, popular for his civil rights leadership. Amidst fighting for the rights and unity of the African-Americans, he was shot dead while giving a speech at the Audubon Ballroom in Washington Heights.

The given quote from the historical personality is a metaphorical expression of racism and the identity of Black nationalism. But at the same time, he propagated the idea of the blacks as being their own foe, and their need to be united if they were to achieve any civil rights for themselves. By suggesting that <em>"progress is healing the wound that the blow made"</em>, he is talking about the issue of racism that the whites had propagated, that the whites are superior to the blacks. His statement that<em> "they won't even admit the knife is there"</em> suggests that the whites won't admit racism is there, let alone accept the pain and discrimination they've been treated with. The knife here represents the racism, the prejudice against the blacks.
