The UN treaty which aimed to help disabled completely redundant to the Americans With Disabilities Act was turned down in Dec 4. The republican made many excuses for their act
like the fiscal cliff and fear that UN would strengthen its power. This reminded me of the lecture on disability and eugenics. It had a long history that the disabled received unequal treatment. Their rights were sacrificed when American exceptionalism used to eliminate undesirable “defectives” from the nation, and when US are against UN's impact on its households. Also, it made me feel like that US was an unique country so that other countries could not lie their influence on its politics.
