The ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) wasn't passed because they cared about disabled people; it was passed because they wanted more people working and fewer people on welfare. You might think that mask exemptions would definitely be a violation of the ADA, right? Well, you'd think so, but that's not how the ADA works at all. When we gained accessibility through the ADA, it meant that someone had to be harmed or discriminated against in order to need it. That's what the law is for. Discrimination has to have already occurred. That's how ADA cases work.
The history of the ADA is quite complex, and I’m not going to try to explain all of it here, but it was a conservative law at the time, and it remains conservative. It appears progressive because it's the only law we have. Educated disabled people pushed for this as a progressive move, but it's not really. And so, every time you talk about having these "exemptions" when it comes to mask mandates, saying, "Oh yes, but it won’t be a grandma at the grocery store, she won’t get in trouble, she’s not going to be arrested for wearing a mask and refusing to take it off," you’re missing the point. No, no, no, no. These exemptions aren’t in the law. People will have to live through hostile situations. People will have to live through inaccessibility. People will have to be harmed in order for the ADA to even work in their favor.
The ADA isn't like an enforceable mandate in that way, and they did it on purpose. They knew that public life wasn’t accessible. They knew most buildings weren’t accessible. They knew accessibility was a huge issue, and that disabled people couldn’t move through the world when the law was passed, and that making things accessible would cost a ton of money.
