For those of you who are reading this posting, I would like to fill you in on the following event. Keith Stone Computers Refused me service because of my medical condition and a perceived political opinion, which is a clear violation of the law.
Sorry Keith Stone Computers, but you are the ones that have violated the following laws and orders:
1. Toledo Municipal Code section 521.12 "Face coverings required", Section 1 , Subsection C, Paragraph 1 and Paragraph 6.
2. Ohio Department of Health Director's Order RE: Director's Order for Facial Coverings throughout the State of Ohio, Paragraph B, Paragraph D.
3. The Americans With Disabilities Act.
If you are going to act as the MASK POLICE you should at least read the law so you know what you are enforcing. I repeatedly told your employee that I have a medical exemption, but your employee decided to discriminate against me because of my medical condition and some perceived political view that he thought I held.
Obviously you have not read, Toledo Municipal Code section 521.12 "Face coverings required". I have listed all of the exemptions below that apply to our situation; see Section 1, Subsection C, Paragraph 1 and 6.
Toledo Municipal Code section 521.12 "Face coverings required".
(c) The requirement to wear a face covering through this Ordinance shall not apply to the following:
(1) Any individual who cannot wear a face covering because of a medical condition, mental health condition or developmental disability, or who is unable to remove the face covering without assistance, and any individual who should not wear face coverings under the CDC guidance. An individual is not required to produce medical documentation of the condition or disability, provided an employer may require such documentation from
an employee in accordance with state and federal law.
(6) When an individual is in his or her work office, conference room, or other workspace not intended for use by the general public.
In addition, it is obvious you have not read the Ohio Department of Health Director's Order RE: Director's Order for Facial Coverings throughout the State of Ohio. All of the exemptions that apply to our situation are listed below, see Section 2, Subsection 2 titled: The requirement to wear a facial covering does not apply when: Paragraph b and d, see listed below.
The requirement to wear a facial covering does not apply when:
b. A medical condition including those with respiratory conditions that restrict breathing, mental health conditions, or disabilities contraindicate the wearing of a face covering;
d. The individual is alone in an enclosed space, such as an office, or in lieu of an enclosed space, the individual is separated by at least six feet in all directions from all other individuals, and in either case is not intended for use by the public;
Furthermore you have violated the The American's With Disabilities Act (ADA). This law strictly prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in state and local government, public accommodations, commercial facilities, transportation, and telecommunications.
