Venue: | DC Cir |
Facts: | American currency discriminates against the blind. |
Posture: | Appeal from a declaratory judgment that US currency design violates the Rehabilitation Act. |
Issue: | Does this violate the act? |
Holding: | Yes. |
Rule: | You can't deny people access to things on the basis of a disability when feasible accomodations exist. |
Reasoning: | Without looking, you can't tell the difference between $1 and $5.
Other countries manage to get around this. |
Dicta: | Dissent: The rehabilitation act is not violated if the accomodations would represent an undue burden. |
