<DIV>Truly it would make everything easier and give clarity, but that’s not the
way things work. I give as an example the law that I understand the
best. In 1973 PL 94-142 passed the US Congress. It said very
specifically that public education funds had to be spent on all students and
that included students with disabilities who had been considered incapable of
profiting intellectually from a school environment. It’s most significant words
were those that forced educators to respond to what, until that time, had been
educationally permissible, if you didn’t have an appropriate program the student
could simply be ignored, or placed in a program that didn’t even pretend to meet
their educational needs, but no longer...students must be educated in the “least
restrictive environment.” No longer could students be denied entry into a
program if it were the appropriate placement. And if one were not available, an
appropriate program had to be implemnted. In Moscow, our
daughter was originally denied placement in the Jr. High because they didn’t
have programs for her. The law said those programs must be in place.
I threatened to sue the district, and of course, it never came to that.
(If I had my life to live over I’m not sure sacrificing her happiness for a
principle was worth it, but that’s for another day.) So practices began to
change, but slowly. However, without the law, they might never have
changed in time for her to profit from them, even though there were many state
and federal requirements that monies had to be spent on all children.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The Constitution defines all “men” as created equal. But at the time
of the writing that word left out half the population, and all the slaves.
What, exactly, are the actual perimeters of the word, “men” supposed to mean
now? It seems to me to me to be incomplete without further clarification,
as has been done historically, through laws and Constitutional Amendments.
But who is to say we’ve finally covered everyone? Not I. </DIV>

<DIV>I always thought the Constitution itself covered this. Something
about all men being created equal, certain inalienable rights, so on and so
forth. Simple. Elegant. Covers the issue at hand.
Whats better than being covered in our nations founding document?</DIV>

and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States
and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law
which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United
States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or
property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its
jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.<BR><BR></P></DIV></DIV>

that we shouldn't need to have special protections for different
groups. We should hold ourselves to the standard of treating
all people equally, which our Constitution already
guarantees. </DIV>

<DIV>While his quote in the paper makes him sound like an idiot
(reporters have a way of doing this-context is SO important), I

we work with the simple rule already expressed in our countries

<P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><SPAN lang=EN>Considering an

<P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><SPAN lang=EN>Fife laid out for
the Administrative Committee on Monday details of his draft
ordinance. Under the ordinance, an employer would not be
allowed to refuse to hire or fire a person for their sexual
orientation or gender identity, or to deny an employee
advancement or training on that same basis. It would also
prevent businesses from refusing to serve a person based on
their sexual orientation or gender
identity.<U></U><U></U></SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><SPAN lang=EN>On the housing
side, refusal to sell, buy or rent property or to repair,

<P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><SPAN lang=EN>Exceptions include

<P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><SPAN lang=EN>Krauss was curious
about whether businesses, such as restaurants, which often
display signs indicating their right to refuse service to
anyone, could refuse to serve someone based on their sexual
orientation or gender identity without disclosing that as the
reason. Fife said if someone felt that was the reason for
denial of service, they could file a complaint under the
ordinance.<U></U><U></U></SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><SPAN lang=EN>"I hate any kind

prepared the draft after reviewing laws already on the books

Boise's. The proposed ordinance would fill a gap in the
federal and state human rights acts.<U></U><U></U></SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><SPAN lang=EN>Anyone believing
themselves to be discriminated against because of their sexual
orientation or gender identity would file a report with the
Moscow Police Department, Fife said, which would conduct an
investigation and file a report with the city prosecutor to
validate whether the claim constitutes an offense under the
ordinance.<U></U><U></U></SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><SPAN lang=EN>If so, mediation
would be attempted between the two parties by the city
attorney with the offender facing a misdemeanor if a
resolution can't be met. If the defendant takes remediation
steps, the penalty could be reduced to an infraction. Should
both parties settle, the charge would be
dismissed.<U></U><U></U></SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><SPAN lang=EN>"You want
