Single Individual? You Are Banned!

Stumbled across an article in the Manchester Evening News which shows another repercussion of this ill-thought policy:

Why are adults with learning difficulties being refused entry to Legoland at Trafford Centre? - Manchester Evening News

Whilst Legoland obviously isn't a zoo, zoos are equally popular as a day out for adults with learning difficulties and their carers - could they too be denied access to certain zoos in the future?

It is discrimination against disabled people.

I keep wanting to check "Innocent Killers" by Jane Goodall out of my local library, but I can't see myself doing it because there is a picture of her son (not full frontal but still naked) getting a bath. It is the type of thing that could be interpreted as child *********** nowadays and even though I know that it isn't intended as such, and my interest is honestly in spotted hyenas and not her then child I worry too much to take the book out.

That is to say, I have heard so many horror stories (even though some of them might not be true) about people being gone after for having something remotely resembling child *********** even if it wasn't intended as such that I am too nervous to check out a book from the library.
