But I think the articles linked dipped into that territory. But as I said, I've heard the "liability" excuse off and on over the years for various things and it usually makes no sense but sounds authoritative.Shawn Deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13296311683745278312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5617612037792547841.post-14050786671197112342011-02-08T22:43:36.142-06:002011-02-08T22:43:36.142-06:00Having never watched Glee, I found this article ve...Having never watched Glee, I found this article very intersting. Particularly, I if there would be times when it removes stigma (see "increased liability") even though an actor is not actually paraplegic? That I cannot answer. <br />Particularly infuriating is the "increased liability" defense of not hiring a paraplegic. Logically, it makes absolutely no sense. Was this defense actually stated by Glee producers? If so, I think that should cause more controversy that merely having an able-bodied person play a paraplegic, since it is intellectual dishonest. Also, that such a statement perpetuates ungrounded fears in potential employers. <br />Thank you for the article Shawn! <br /><br />TomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5617612037792547841.post-42376452872381191332010-05-24T21:52:53.896-05:002010-05-24T21:52:53.896-05:00Interesting.
