In Olmstead v. L.C. (1999), the Supreme Court found that:
  1. The American with Disabilities Act bars the unnecessary segregation of people with disabilities.
  2. The Americans with Disabilities Act forces public venues to provide segregated facilities for people with disabilities.
  3. The Americans with Disabilities Act was unconstitutional.
  4. The Americans with Disabilities Act did not apply to mental health cases.
  5. The Americans with Disabilities Act provided incentive to discriminate against the disabled.
Explanation
Answer: A - Citing similar circumstances in racial segregation cases, the Supreme Court in Olmstead declared that segregation leads to stigmatization. Individuals with disabilities could not become fully part of society if they were not interacting with non-disabled people. This case forced a lot of companies, especially theaters and stadiums, to remodel their seating so that the disabled could both have adequate accommodations and the ability to sit with non-disabled friends and family.
