Frankly, many people don’t necessarily see racial or disability segregation as having an adverse effect on their communities or schools. In fact, some people don’t want to live in communities where everyone is included. There’s a “Not in my neighborhood, not in my school, not in my restaurant” kind of sentiment. Until fairly recently, different cities had “ugly laws” on the books that prohibited disabled people from begging; it was called “unsightly begging,” that is, it exposed their “diseased, maimed, mutilated, or . . . deformed” body in public for profit.1
