The ADA was signed into law 35 years ago today, and remains the most comprehensive civil rights law protecting people with disabilities.
This anniversary comes at a time when the health and dignity of disabled people are under attack by the Trump administration.

Also, to clarify: I don’t think you necessarily need degrees to do the scientific method or the historical method properly— self-taught “amateurs” can do amazing scholarship. But a great way to learn cutting-edge methodology is working with experts, something college lets you do.
