A person with an obvious disability making his way along Chicago's Michigan Avenue in December 1970 would not simply have been enjoying the spectacle of one of the nation's busiest commercial venues at the height of the Christmas shopping season. Whether he knew it or not, he also would have been engaged in an act of civil disobedience. On the books of the Chicago Municipal Code at that time was an ordinance colloquially known as 'The Ugly Law.' It provided that,"No person who is diseased, maimed, mutilated or in any way deformed so as to be an unsightly or disgusting object or improper person is to be allowed in or on the public ways or other public places in this city, or shall therein or thereon expose himself to public view, under a penalty of not less than one dollar nor more than fifty dollars for each offense."Similar laws could be found on the books in cities such as Columbus, Ohio and Omaha, Nebraska. They were not repealed until around 1973 or 1974.This article considers the pedagogical function of the law by comparing the Americans with Disabilities Act with the "Ugly Laws" on the books in several cities until the early 1970s, which prohibited people with obvious disabilities from moving freely in public spaces and city streets. Using the thought of Thomas Aquinas, I argue that there is in fact a pedagogical function to the law, and explore what that function should consist of in a pluralistic society such as our own.

The issue at hand in this essay 1 became crystal clear to me at a dinner table in San Cristobal, Chiapas in November, 1998. I was there as one of the trustees for the International Interreligious Peace Council. This is a group of leaders representing faith communities from around the world who come together to promote peace interreligiously. They visit areas of the world where there is conflict or violence in order to identify and foster a nonviolent solution to the discord. The Bishop of San Cristobal, Don Samuel Ruiz Garcia, is a member of the Peace Council, along with the Dalai Lama, Bishop Tutu, Maha Ghosananda (Supreme Patriarch of Cambodian Buddhism), Joan Chittister, OSB and ten others. We had spent just about a week in the Chiapas area trying to urge a dialogue towards peace with justice between the indigenous communities and the Mexican government. This was the last day, our final dinner together. Father Gonzalo Ituarte, O.P., Don Samuel's assistant and also on the Board of Trustees of the Peace Council, was sitting opposite me. In a moment of concluding reflection, looking down to the other end of the table where Maha Ghosananda was sitting quietly, with his usual gentle, peaceful smile, Gonzalo said to me: “You know, after these three years of knowing Maha and coming to feel his deep holiness, peace, and persistent commitment to justice, I could never, never try, or even think of trying, to convert him to Christianity. That would make no sense. It would be wrong. Knowing him, working with him, I am convinced that he should remain what he is, a holy Buddhist.” And then
1998年11月,在恰帕斯州圣克里斯托瓦尔的一次餐桌上,我对这篇文章中所涉及的问题有了清晰的认识。我当时是国际宗教间和平委员会的理事之一。这是一群代表世界各地宗教团体的领导人,他们聚集在一起促进宗教间的和平。他们访问世界上存在冲突或暴力的地区,以确定和促进非暴力解决不和谐的办法。圣克里斯托瓦尔主教Don Samuel Ruiz Garcia是和平委员会的成员,还有达赖喇嘛、图图主教、Maha Ghosananda(柬埔寨佛教最高族长)、Joan Chittister、OSB和其他十人。我们在恰帕斯地区只花了大约一个星期的时间,试图敦促土著社区和墨西哥政府之间进行对话,以实现正义的和平。这是最后一天,我们最后一次共进晚餐。Gonzalo Ituarte神父,o.p.,堂塞缪尔的助手,也是和平委员会的董事会成员,坐在我对面。在最后的沉思中,冈萨洛低头看着桌子的另一端,马哈·戈萨南达静静地坐着,脸上带着他惯常的温柔、和平的微笑,他对我说:“你知道,在认识马哈这三年之后,我感受到了他深深的圣洁、和平和对正义的执着,我永远、永远不会尝试,甚至想都不会尝试,让他改信基督教。这毫无意义。这是错误的。我了解他,和他一起工作,我相信他应该保持本色,一个圣洁的佛教徒。”然后
