Paperback. On April 23, 2016, a warning went up in a comment thread beneath a blog entry about the ugly laws: the ADA is in danger, and the disabled are being propelled backward. Ten years later came the memorandum that proved the warning right. Back to Willowbrook is the record of how America taught itself to see disabled people as citizens, and of how fast that teaching is being unlearned.The slow winning opens in May 1881, when Chicago made it unlawful for anyone "diseased, maimed, mutilated, or in any way deformed" to appear in public view, and it runs through the wards of Willowbrook State School, where a hidden camera in 1972 showed the country what removal had built. It holds the twenty-five days in 1977 when disabled occupiers refused to leave a federal building until Section 504 was signed unchanged, and the week in March 1988 when Gallaudet students closed their university until it seated a Deaf president. It ends at the Americans with Disabilities Act.Then comes the fast losing. Rights survive as interpretations, and interpretations are governable. A 2026 memorandum adopts a reading of the law that the federal courts have rejected. Work requirements meter Medicaid by the reported hour, and an Arkansas experiment that removed 18,164 people from coverage became national policy after its results were published. Waiting lists grow where wards once stood, and coverage lost is rarely coverage alone.Inside the history stands a witness. Janna Sweenie has taught American Sign Language at New York University since 1991 and has spent more than two decades as a vocational rehabilitation counselor inside the systems this book documents. Her testimony runs through these pages in the first person: the classroom where the voice goes off, the certification floor collapsing, the students solicited to work free, the friends penalized for requesting what the law promises.David Boles posted the 2016 warning and keeps the archive this book draws on, including the thread where the record begins. Together they follow the story to the Willowbrook Mile, the memorial path on the old grounds, and to a date circled for the last night of 2026. One window in the building is still lit. This book is the light in it, kept on so that what returns can never claim it was never seen. The record runs through July 2026. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

On April 23, 2016, a warning went up in a comment thread beneath a blog entry about the ugly laws: the ADA is in danger, and the disabled are being propelled backward. Ten years later came the memorandum that proved the warning right. Back to Willowbrook is the record of how America taught itself to see disabled people as citizens, and of how fast that teaching is being unlearned.

Derecho al desistimiento
Si es un consumidor, puede rescindir el contrato de acuerdo con lo siguiente. Por consumidor se entiende cualquier persona física que actúe con fines ajenos a su actividad comercial, empresarial, oficio o profesión.
Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
Deberá devolver los bienes o entregarlos a Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, Illinois, U.S.A., sin demoras indebidas y, en cualquier caso, en un plazo máximo de 14 días a partir del día en que nos comunique su desistimiento del presente contrato. El plazo se cumple si devuelve la mercancía antes de que venza el periodo de 14 días. Tendrá que asumir los gastos directos de devolución de los bienes. Usted solo es responsable de la disminución del valor de los bienes como resultado de una manipulación distinta a la necesaria para establecer la naturaleza, las características y el funcionamiento de los bienes.

El derecho de desistimiento no se aplica a lo siguiente:
- La entrega de periódicos, diarios o revistas, con la excepción de los contratos de suscripción; y
- El suministro de contenido digital que no se proporcione en un soporte tangible (por ejemplo, en un CD o DVD) si, al hacer el pedido, aceptó que podíamos empezar a entregarlo y que no podría desistir una vez iniciada la entrega.
