Section 504 says all organizations that accept $$ from the gov (schools, hospitals, businesses) MUST accommodate people with disabilities, & protect them from discrimination/poor treatment.
Section 504 is a GOOD thing.
If you live in the 17 states that are suing to overturn it, CALL YOUR REPS!!

It's wild to see so many companies taking L's while trying to kiss the ring. Marketing yourself exclusively to bigots and assholes is such a bonkers fucking business strategy.
