Trump Guts Support For Disabled Students; Families Are Fighting Back - PopularResistance.Org

If the Trump administration and the so-called “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) have their way, the basic educational and human rights of students with disabilities will soon be eviscerated. Due to the planned demolition of the Department of Education, the rights of students with disabilities to “a free, appropriate public education” — guaranteed by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) — are under fire. For nearly 50 years, the Department of Education (DOE) has been responsible for distributing funds — $14.2 billion in fiscal year 2025 — to state and local school districts to enable them to educate students with a range of disabilities.

A day in the life of a #PWD:
“I’m not able to do that.”
“But my aunt has (insert #disability here), and SHE can do it.”

I use a wheelchair and I want more bike lanes

This may come as a shock, but disabled people who use transport care about more than just car parks.

Not sure if the budget is good news for the sick & disabled or not (have a guess) but ending the work capability assessment is welcome. Being pushed into inappropriate work (or sanctioned for just not being healthier) with a very limiting or variable health condition instead sounds a bit extreme(if that's the plan). #budget #UK #diability #MentalHealth #work
