What does Public Law 101-336 (Americans with Disabilities Act) primarily aim to protect?

  1. Civil rights for individuals with disabilities

  2. Right to privacy for individuals with disabilities

  3. Job placement for individuals with disabilities

  4. Educational rights for all students

The correct answer is: Civil rights for individuals with disabilities

Public Law 101-336, known as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), primarily aims to protect the civil rights of individuals with disabilities. This landmark legislation establishes that individuals with disabilities have the right to participate fully in all areas of public life, including employment, transportation, public accommodations, and communication. The ADA prohibits discrimination based on disability and requires reasonable accommodations to be made in various settings to ensure that individuals with disabilities can enjoy the same rights and opportunities as those without disabilities. While the other options touch on important aspects related to individuals with disabilities, they do not encompass the broader aim of the ADA. The act does promote accessibility and protection related to employment (which could relate to job placement), and it also has implications for educational institutions, but its primary purpose is to secure civil rights across all domains of public life, not limited to privacy or educational rights.
