I don't believe this!
Lin just told me the craziest at thing.
The National Federation of the Blind (NFB) refused to hire a blind woman because she has a guide dog!!!!
Apparently, as Lin explained it, the NFB considers guide dogs a "crutch" and is against using them. And they have other weird ideas along those lines. Which, apparently is why the American Federation of the Blind (AFB) split off.
Anyway, seems all the guide dog schools are getting together to support the woman.
And, of course, she's got one *hell* of a case under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
