Episode Details

The Education Department is handing off civil rights and special education enforcement to other agencies, sparking alarm among parents and advocates who fear chaos and delays for kids already struggling to get help. With cases dragging on for years—like a mother’s unresolved complaint about her daughter bullied for wearing hearing aids—the move could worsen access to justice. Critics argue special education doesn’t belong under Health and Human Services, and staff cuts across key offices suggest a lack of resources to handle the surge. While some states are stepping up locally, advocates insist federal oversight is essential to ensure every child gets the services they need.
