Hi Patrick! What legal issue are you dealing with? Are there any specific questions you have in mind?
A christian pastor who is a woman in New York named Tammy Torelli claims to be a Christian and on her Facebook is holding sign saying " differently abled" with her fellow church members trying to pretend like she supports the disabled but she discriminated against brother alongside Destiny Morrison at Job Corps both ladies claim to Christians. Like when Dale got rejected from Job Corps and I think it was probably discrimination. They said: "You did not demonstrate that you are reasonably expected to participate successfully in group situations." and: "You or your parent/legal guardian did not sign the "Authorization for Use and Disclosure of Your Health Information" form." How would they know unless they tested Dale by putting him in a group or something? They just talked one on one he told them he was in a special needs class and he was disabled.
Hey Patrick! It sounds like you're concerned about possible discrimination at Job Corps. In New York, discrimination based on disability is prohibited under both state and federal laws. To explore this further, consider:
- Reviewing the specific criteria Job Corps uses for admission.
- Gathering any evidence of discrimination.
- Consulting with a legal expert specializing in disability discrimination.
Would you like guidance on how to proceed with a complaint or legal action?
If they didn't give him any group setting tests to test your behavior, then how can they say I am unfit in a group setting? I think that he was treated unfairly or differently particularly because he is disabled and I want something to be done about it the people who did this on the sheet I received in the mail was from Destiny Morrison and there was another lady at the Patchogue NY location the blonde asking about the type of class he was in and stuff related to that. They did not even do an experiment to see if they are right about the group setting thing. Usually when we try to do stuff like Job Corps, trying to get a job or other stuff we get rejected and it's not fair. Also, if we get a job, imagine having to pay taxes for job corps, even if they turned you down, since the Job Corps is run by the government. Job Corps discriminated against Dale for having a disability and they even tried to lie about it when we tried to report them for the discrimination.
It sounds like you’re concerned about possible discrimination based on disability at Job Corps. In New York, discrimination based on disability is prohibited under state and federal laws, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Here are some steps you can consider:
- Document Everything: Keep all communications, letters, and notes from interactions with Job Corps.
- Gather Evidence: Collect evidence that might support a claim of discrimination.
- Consult with a Lawyer: Consider contacting a lawyer specializing in disability discrimination to explore legal options and possibly file a complaint.
