Height is an important key measure in society. Most people will associate taller individuals as being a leader.

Over the years, America has done many things to insure that all Americans are treated equally and fairly. From gender to race, America has gone the extra mile to protect those who are viewed differently. Unfortunately, short adults are not given the same protections as others.
