Summary: A proper purpose


     Without doing any research, the line of reasoning which
should be applied in this situation should run something
like this:
 
1.  There are proper legal activities in our society.
Making money is one of them.
 
2.  In the pursuit of a proper purpose, we may hire people for
reasons which clearly arise from the nature of the pursuit.
 
3.  Since mental agility and knowhow is central to computer
programming, and kicking a soccer ball isn't, it would be
improper to discriminate against a quatraplegic in regard to the
job of programming.  It is not improper to 'discriminate' against a person who isn't able to understand the concept of
programming.
 
     Something like that ...
