Personally, I'd say no. Here's why.

Napoleon was short. So was Mussolini. And Stalin. I think you'll all agree with me that they were pretty horrible people. Napoleon led his men into Russia, thinking he could march through all that snow and win. So he was short, greedy, [i]and[/i] stupid. The more rights you give short people, the more potential dictators you're nurturing.
Tall people, on the other hand. We have both Obama and Trump, and either side of the political divide think one of those men is the best president of their lifetime. How many short presidents have such an adoring fanbase? Um, zero.
Short people are also a liability. They need help reaching the top of the fridge, or the higher cupboards. The time they spend getting stools to reach that high could've been spent on more valuable pursuits for the advancement of the human race. We're entering an age where only the fittest will survive. Tell me, how much help do you think a short person would be in a zombie apocalypse?
I think we should put short people in zoos for our amusement. But I don't think they deserve rights.
