Special Ed and Civil Rights in Flux
Description
The Education Department is handing off civil rights and special education enforcement to the Justice and Health departments — a move sparking alarm among parents and advocates. With mounting backlogs, shrinking staff, and stalled cases, families fear the process will become even more tangled. Critics warn that treating disabilities as medical issues, not learning differences, could harm students — even some Republicans are pushing back. As states like Colorado step in to fill the gap, parents just want their kids to get the support they deserve — regardless of bureaucratic reshuffling.
