Disabled pitcher cut from high school baseball team

[SIZE=2]Sec. 12101. Findings and purpose
(a) Findings. The Congress finds that
(1) physical or mental disabilities in no way diminish a person’s right to fully participate in all
aspects of society, yet many people with physical or mental disabilities have been precluded
from doing so because of discrimination; others who have a record of a disability or are
regarded as having a disability also have been subjected to discrimination;
(2) historically, society has tended to isolate and segregate individuals with disabilities, and,
despite some improvements, such forms of discrimination against individuals with disabilities
continue to be a serious and pervasive social problem;
(3) discrimination against individuals with disabilities persists in such critical areas as
employment, housing, public accommodations, education, transportation, communication,
recreation, institutionalization, health services, voting, and access to public services;
(4) unlike individuals who have experienced discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex,
national origin, religion, or age, individuals who have experienced discrimination on the basis
of disability have often had no legal recourse to redress such discrimination;

BUT.... #5 here is my favorite....

(5) individuals with disabilities continually encounter various forms of discrimination, including
outright intentional exclusion, the discriminatory effects of architectural, transportation, and
communication barriers, overprotective rules and policies, failure to make modifications to
existing facilities and practices, exclusionary qualification standards and criteria, segregation,
and relegation to lesser services, programs, activities, benefits, jobs, or other opportunities;

NOT saying this is what happened to the young man BUT with a look into some of the guidelines, if the kid honestly throws in the 80's... WHY was he NOT kept on as a pitcher? Every teams needs all the pitching they can get!!![/SIZE]
