Reply to Woman posed as doctor for almost 20 years with fake documents by Mighty_L_LORT

Actually per the article she pretended to be a psychiatrist. They technically have the title of doctor but the key difference is doctors practice medicine and psychiatrists do not. Interestingly, given who they allow to become a psychiatrist, she may not have been any less qualified than one that was properly credentialed. If you don't believe me, see how she wasn't caught for 20 fucking years.

Reply to comment by P_K148 in “Humiliating”: Denver City Council candidate had to crawl on debate stage due to lack of wheelchair access by Sandstorm400

"López said his office reviews and approves applications for venues looking to host debates. Cleo Parker Robinson Dance’s application, obtained by The Denver Post through a public records request, indicated that its “theater is ADA accessible via our back entrance.” López office granted the application approval."

The article literally states that one of the offices reviewed and approved.

Reply to comment by cobaltandchrome in Kids' faces painted black for Black History Month at Florida preschool, parents outraged by GaryOaksAlcoholism

Article says the staff and most students are Hispanic and I'm guessing whoever thought this up was an immigrant paid $12/hour so what do people expect? My kid's daycare did something oddly sketchy like this. Not as bad and I can't remember what but I'm sure Miss Isabella didn't mean any harm.

He wasn't dragging himself 50 feet across a stage by his hands or something, shooing away would-be helpers. He just clambered up onto the stage (which is something mostly done with one's arms anyways), with the idea being that his wheelchair would be lifted (by others) onto the stage with him. But then they couldn't lift the wheelchair, so he had to come back down. So he did accept help.

I don't get why there are so many folks in this thread whose reaction to a guy in a wheelchair not getting the disability accommodations required by law is to blame the guy in the wheelchair...?
