Tyrone is an African American freelance music composer. He has not held a regular job due to mental stress since his involvement, as a reservist, in the Persian Gulf War. He is seeking a jingle-writing position with an advertising firm. While Tyrone does read and write, he composes by ear. He cannot read music, he records his songs on a tape, and his wife transcribes the recorded music into sheet music. The central requirement of this job is that the composer be able to read music because the employee must work with client ideas and music ideas from other staff. Tyrone is not hired because he cannot read music. Has management made a decision that makes the firm legally liable for discrimination under the ADA?
A) No, because the requirement to read music is a secondary requirement of the job.
B) No, because no major life activity is impaired. He cannot read music, but he can read.
C) Yes, because the company could have rewritten the job description to accommodate his disability.
D) Yes, because a major life function is impaired and that impairment prevented him from receiving the job.
