No, you are exaggerating to justify your own beliefs.
JB could cure cancer and you would find fault.

Then Biden and Buttigieg are clearly idiots because they are pushing the hiring of blind people as air traffic controllers. That is one of the DEI categories right on their list.

Because only an idiot would hire a blind man to judge a beauty contest. Unbunch your panties.

The Biden regime is giving special DEI preferences to categories who cannot function effectively as air traffic controllers. Why would you think they aren't hiring based on those stated DEI preferences? When the "federal government" is the Biden regime, I would not put anything past them, and experience shows they usually do these political things that they say they are doing.

No question. Just take a minute to find out instead of saying, that person is "trans" so we wont hire them. The federal government isn't filling positions with people who who cant do the job.
Your worry is exaggerated and an attempt to score political point.

When a job like air traffic controller is critical for the safety of others, it is irresponsible to put people in that job who are not physically or mentally capable of doing it. That is exactly what the Biden FAA is doing with their DEI policies, and in all likelihood people will die from it. If they want to hire persons with these conditions, surely they can find other jobs for them where their conditions will not endanger public safety.

I stand by my post. To automatically disqualify is wrong. That's happened for too long in this country.

DEI is, indeed, an "ism" as I will explain.
The issue here is DEI, not ADA. Nice attempt to deflect, but you are wrong. These are categories that the Buttigieg-led DOT, which is over the FAA has set out as hiring preferences under DEI. It is hard to imagine anyone in most of these categories having the physical or mental ability to properly function as an air traffic controller. Any ADA complaint would be quickly dismissed on that basis. The Biden FAA is trying to recruit people in these categories as air traffic controllers and give them a preference over well qualified applicants. Do you want someone with a severe intellectual disability or a psychiatric disability controlling the takeoff or landing of a plane YOU are on? But then again, you previously said you thought people with criminal records should be hired in retail businesses. DEI is an "ism". It is pure Marxism. The "E" in DEI stands for "equity", which in the Orwellian newspeak of today's far left is a term for equality of result. That concept comes straight from Karl Marx's "Communist Manifesto" and is completely contradictory to the democratic American concept of equality of opportunity. If you are for DEI, you are a Marxist.

And I will add, automatically disqualifying a person from a job is an "ism". Giving a person a chance to show they can do it is the opposite.
Therefore DEI is the opposite of any "ism" you care to discuss.

I think the point is an employer should not dismiss an application due to an ADA recognized disability. Upon further review an employer can still hire who they think is a best fit.
If you automatically disqualify people you might miss something and it isn't right. No person should be automatically disqualified from a job.

Only to the extent that it would be rare to find one FAA air traffic controller applicant who checks all those boxes, but it would not be uncommon to check two or three or even four. How are some of these categories even going to function as an air traffic controller? A blind controller who can't see situations out the control tower windows or see the sweep of the radar screen? A deaf controller who cannot hear the radio communications with pilots? And how is someone with a severe intellectual disability or a psychiatric disorder going to appropriately comprehend what is going on? DEI categories like that endanger the flying public. There have already been some near misses, so how long until people die from these insane DEI policies at the Biden FAA?

Under DEI, the one who checks the most boxes gets the job. For an FAA air traffic controller under Biden that would be a blind one-armed paralyzed pyscho dwarf who is a lesbian and member of a minority group. Is that who you really want directing airplanes where to go at an airport? For me, I will take the most qualified person, not who checks the most DEI boxes.

Well, NO, Jim Crow is on YOU. It was your party, the Democrats, who proposed it and all voted for it. My party, the Republicans voted AGAINST Jim Crow. That is the actual historical record that you want to sweep under the rug. Own it, Bobbie, Jim Crow is YOURS.
As far as air traffic controllers, you were the one who brought up the year 1776 in reference to them. Regardless of the year, air traffic controllers are FEDERAL jobs, dumbass, and state Jim Crow laws did not apply to federal jobs at any time. And the issue of the present DEI problem with air traffic controllers never had anything to do with race in the first place. It has to do with Biden giving DEI preference to these categories: Hearing (total deafness in both ears) Vision (Blind) Missing Extremities Partial Paralysis Complete Paralysis, Epilepsy Severe intellectual disability Psychiatric disability Dwarfism

How can you possibly forget that up until the 1950's the hiring preference in this country favored white men? Every idiot knows this to be true. I notice you often twist up the smallest of details to in an effort to justify your own ignorance while completely missing the point.
Unlike salvery - Jim Crow is on us.

Here we go again with Bigot Bob's fractured history. We are talking about racial preference hiring at the FAA for air traffic controllers, and now Bob claims that only white men could get jobs as air traffic controllers IN 1776! What aircraft were flying then, Bob?
But then, that is just one of his dodges to claim the FAA issue is all about race. I listed the DEI categories Biden is trying to hire for FAA and NONE of them have anything to do with race. But Bigot Bob is never going to admit he was factually wrong in trying to inject race into this issue. With Bobbie's tunnel vision, everything is about race to him.

Racial preference hires at FAA started with Obama in 2013 and did not have the negative impact that the preferences introduced by Biden have had on air traffic controllers. The 8 new target DEI disabilities that the Biden regime targets for hiring air traffic controllers are ALL related to physical or mental disabilities. They are:
Hearing (total deafness in both ears) Vision (Blind) Missing Extremities Partial Paralysis Complete Paralysis, Epilepsy Severe intellectual disability Psychiatric disability Dwarfism Maybe a dwarf would be okay in one of these positions, but all of the others have drawbacks on being able to function. In particular, who would want someone with severe intellectual disability or psychiatric disability directing flights they or their loved ones are flying on? Little Bobbie claims this issue is all about race, but in fact none of these questionable catagories involve race in any way. The near misses and the concern from the travelling public did not come with the racial preferences in 2013 but with the disability DEI preferences in 2021. redstate.com

"Bob" - I'm under no illusion that it makes any sense to attempt to debate someone living in a world of delusional thinking. You are a demonstrable chronic liar. Also, putting false dialog in someone else's mouth is disrespectful and just another way of telling an untruth. That is indicative of character, in your case lack of.
I will stick around to point out your more egregious falsehoods whenever I have time. It's just so easy.

JS- your response only re-enforces my argument. When the source of information becomes more important than the information itself, something is wrong.
