Well WHO classifies schizophrenia as a mental disorder and that's what "severe intellectual disorder" means.
And I think WHO has more sway with the US then posters on CD.
Look what WHO did with transgender definition.
We're hiring the lunatics to run the asylum is what we're doing.
Oh for God’s sake, Schizophrenia is not an intellectual disability.
It’s a psychiatric disorder, and there are lots of those, from anxiety to OCD, to mild depression, amongst all sorts of non employment disqualifying disorders. There are multitudes of diagnoses.
Blind,deaf, or dumb, Benisons sole purpose in life is to practice discrimination. He’s also a career bureaucrat who would happily rubber stamp our papers and help load us into the boxcar to keep his 200K a year non-essential job. A pox on his house.
His job is actually to fight discrimination. It's interesting though that you can't seem to tell the difference.

DEI, as it is actually practiced, is discriminatory. If this guy is pushing DEI (I couldn't tell from the description, though it sounds like he is), then he is practicing discrimination.
Already some issues with some apparently recent hires. An air traffic controller got into an argument with a pilot who asked for landing information. Pilot questioned it. She said she 'googled it'
Sounds like a training issue.

Anyone can make that mistake. Anyone. Even me. Even you.

You must not have read post #1. It mentions a full line of disabilities (physical disabilities are bolded):
Quote:
"Targeted disabilities are those disabilities that the Federal government, as a matter of policy, has identified for special emphasis in recruitment and hiring," the FAA’s website states. "They include hearing, vision, missing extremities, partial paralysis, complete paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability and dwarfism."
Schizophrenia is not mentioned anywhere.

what's the name of the disease/disability ? Schizophrenia comes to mind.
Intellectual disabilities include developmental delays including Down Syndrome (once called mental retardation), or traumatic brain injuries. Schizophrenia is a psychiatric disorder.

What in heavens name will a completely paralyzed person do for a job at the FAA ??????
And you are defending this ??
Why aren't you defending this? People who are paralyzed can perform all sorts of jobs with the proper equipment.

DSM-V classifies schizophrenia as a psychiatric illness and it's the final word on the matter.

And from reading through this thread, he's got a tough job.
Check out the pic on his bio page! He looks like he was first diversity hire due to an intellectual disability.
scrolling down his list of accomplishments, you can see he’s what you call a useless eater
Regardless, you dissed a blind guy based on his picture. You didn’t know he was blind until someone set you straight.
You assumed, you were wrong, and that’s precisely how people are discriminated against.
So keep it up mate. More DEI incoming, because you insist on proving why it’s necessary.
