Peter: In a nice complement to that story that it’s not discriminatory to reject job applicants because they’re too smart, the EEOC has determined that requiring a high-school diploma can be discrimination in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. I’m certainly in favor of expanding job opportunities for the disabled, but using the law to effect that expansion cannot work and leads to morally perverse outcomes (and a vast expansion of state control over individuals). Instead, how about we stop artificially loosening the labor market through mass immigration, legal and illegal, permanent and “temporary”? That way, employers will have an economic incentive to recruit and retain workers at the margins of employability — not just the physically and mentally disabled, but also ex-cons, recovering addicts, et al. The best, and least statist, social policy is a tight labor market.
