Discussion Leader Questions regarding Title II of the ADA
I identified the following questions based on the readings from this week. Feel free to answer just one that interest you.
1. Under what circumstances could states not use financial resources to justify confinement of individuals with developmental disabilities?
2. How did Title II of the ADA justify the integration of people with disabilities in the community?
3. How in Tennessee v. Lane was Title II interpreted by courts to broaden access to individuals with disabilities of “services, programs and activities provided by State and local government entities”?
4. What does Joseph Shapiro mean in No Pity (1999) when he says that individuals with disability have been treated as a “dependent caste” and that an “American apartheid has existed for them” (143).
5. Does sovereign immunity under the 11th Amendment of the US Constitution shield states from due-process claims filed under the 14th Amendment that allows individuals to sue states for denial of equal protection of the laws?
