In December, a woman posted a photograph on social media of a purple hat she had knitted, while a black-and-white dog lounged on the carpet a few feet away. The cozy scene was accompanied by a single sentence: "This hat is an hour behind schedule thanks to influencer retards."
The proud knitter, Harmeet K. Dhillon, is also the assistant attorney general overseeing the United States' Justice Department's Civil Rights Division. Her purview includes protecting the rights of people with intellectual disabilities by ensuring compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act.
