Default How about UGLY as a protected class??!!

As written by Dr. Daniel S. Hamermesh, NYT, 27Aug2011
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/28/op...ve-a-case.html

"A more radical solution may be needed: why not offer legal protections to the ugly, as we do with racial, ethnic and religious minorities, women and handicapped individuals?

We actually already do offer such protections in a few places, including in some jurisdictions in California, and in the District of Columbia, where discriminatory treatment based on looks in hiring, promotions, housing and other areas is prohibited. Ugliness could be protected generally in the United States by small extensions of the Americans With Disabilities Act. Ugly people could be allowed to seek help from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and other agencies in overcoming the effects of discrimination. We could even have affirmative-action programs for the ugly"
.

Oh yes, they'll go there ...

How about people who nearly completely cover their skin with tattoos and piercings, then discover that nobody wants to hire them? Not just naturally born ugliness, but self-imposed, too.

Queen Michelle oBUMa is already a double protected person (black & female) if ugly was a protected class she could go to the top of that list!
