Here's the main one:

Absolutely not true.

The Americans with Disabilities Act does not protect

Other examples:

The ADA is a civil rights protection statute. It only protects people from discrimination based on disability.

That includes a person with a disability, a people thought to have a disability, or having a relationship to someone with a qualified disability. An employer can't deny someone a job who fits in these categories if they are qualified for and able to perform with reasonable accommodation (which, I remind you, is well proven to be very inexpensive).

They are not required to give such people the job. They are required to not deny them the job based on disability; a very important distinction.

The ADA is not a consolation prize to give favors to people with disabilities.

It does protect employers as they reasonably respond to an employee who is not performing or who has violated prevailing standards of behavior.

The fear is that a person with a disability can and will easily sue the employer or sic the Feds on them. Anyone who tries will simply not prevail, assuming the employer has treated them as they would any other employee who is falling short on performance.
