Mexico Bans Discrimination Against the Disabled - Fox News Latino: Mexican President Felipe Calderón signed into law a measure to extend anti-discrimination protections to people with disabilities. The state will no longer adopt a 'paternalistic' attitude toward the disabled, the president said.
In a ceremony at the official residence of Los Pinos, Calderón said that for the first time 'the ban on treating the disabled in a discriminatory way has been raised to the status of law.' The law aims to acknowledge human dignity, 'eradicate prejudice and lack of understanding' and provide equal opportunities for this sector.
