1. 504

Section 504 makes it unlawful to discriminate against those who are considered handicapped. ("Handicapped" is surely, by now been replaced by "disabled," but that was the original wording.)

Handicapped/disabled was used in an extremely broad way, including such things as obesity. In short, any condition that makes a significant impact on someone's daily life.

I was an Educational Diagnostician in Texas for many years and this is from memory.
