EEOC: High school diploma requirement might violate Americans with Disabilities Act
Employers are facing more uncertainty in the wake of a letter from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission warning them that requiring a high school diploma from a job applicant might violate the Americans with Disabilities Act.

The development also has some wondering whether the agency’s advice will result in an educational backlash by creating less of an incentive for some high school students to graduate.

The “informal discussion letter” from the EEOC said an employer’s requirement of a high school diploma, long a standard criterion for screening potential employees, must be “job-related for the position in question and consistent with business necessity.” The letter was posted on the commission’s website on Dec. 2.

Employers could run afoul of the ADA if their requirement of a high school diploma “‘screens out’ an individual who is unable to graduate because of a learning disability that meets the ADA’s definition of ‘disability,’” the EEOC explained.

The commission’s advice, which does not carry the force of law, is raising alarms among employment-law professionals, who say it could carry far-reaching implications for businesses.

Oh boy. As if it isn't hard enough to find decent people to hire to begin with.

Even the (literally) most challenged kids I went to school graduated; the only way you can not get a high school diploma is to drop out or be fully capable but very lazy and stupid. It's absurd to suggest that people with mental disabilities can't get jobs for this reason.

If you're mentally retarded enough to have been withdrawn from school, chances are you won't be a productive member in the working world.

An "american with a disability" would seem to be someone who was... maybe missing an arm, perhaps born with down syndrome? Not obtaining a diploma or a GED is not a disability. Its just a dumbassery. Employers simply need act accordingly. Another law I'd like to see 'em enforce. "Oh he applied here? Funny... we don't have his application on file anywhere... hmm..."

Kind of like the "you have to let minorities rent from you" law. "Oh I'm sorry, that property is scheduled for maintenance. Needs new paint, new carpet, etc etc." Uncle-in-law uses it all the time. Works like a charm.

Actually, technically I'm a disabled American. I was actually at the resigning of the act. Fuck I hate that man

[GhostTX]

Jeez...we can't hire cops that are too smart and now we're forcing employers to not screen for people that are "too dumb".

Holy hell...look for more crap to get farmed out to foreign countries.

Yeah I got a cavity in one of my teeth, top row towards the back. Hurts sometimes if I get anything in there. I mean according to this administration, its a disability.
