A new Amendment, More Equality Than Ever Before!

   There are over 25 amendments in the United States as of today. Ranging from tax laws to presidential terms, the U.S. have always tried to make their government as equal and balanced as possible. But there seems to be something missing, if you read the amendments over you would know exactly what that something is. People with disabilities; this group of people is an increasing and need to have their equal rights writing in stone. With so many wars, natural disasters and violence in the world, people with disabilities are becoming a more frequent part of society. That being said, I believe that it is time that they had rights be official.

  There should be an amendment that calls for equality among the people who have disabilities. It should several sections in which it includes how they should be discriminated or given unequal opportunities. The amendment should say, how they should never be denied of voting, how they should be denied of working, education and independent living if they choose to. They also should not be removed of their workplace or school because of their condition. These people have been living with almost no rights and basically not having any amendments empowers this feeling. Imagine you being segregated, thought to be different and most importantly being associated with negative symbol and then to think that the government is doing a good job? The worst part is that the government seems to be ignoring their rights, because they have had more than 10% of the U.S population and have been living in this country for as long as any other group and they are increasing, so the time to act is now!

How can you say no?

  I am not asking for much, I don’t want to start a completely new law that will change how the U.S is seen forever. I just want equality, rightfully, beautiful equality. If the African Americans, Muslin Americans and Women can enjoy equal rights, so can the people with disabilities. Change can be good thing, the U.S cannot just segregate any group deemed as different and the country will have a reputation as the superpower it is.
