If the plaintiffs prevail, it could be bad
So, first – Tennessee is not (yet) a part of this lawsuit that would, if successful, end Section 504 protections for students.
I take a look at what could happen over at The Education Report:
Here’s a summary of what could happen IF the suit is ultimately successful:
Yes. No matter what they say, they are trying to eradicate a fundamental protection for the disabled population that has sustained for over half a century. Yes. They are trying to remove disabled students from public education. They are trying to remove disabled workers from the workforce. Yes. They are trying to bring back schools that “best suit a student’s needs”, which is just a fancy way of saying that they are bringing back the segregated schools and institutions so many have fought for so long to eradicate.
Not great, really.
