Administration moves special education and civil‑rights oversight out of Education Dept.
The Trump administration moved the Education Department's Office for Civil Rights into the Justice Department and shifted oversight of special education to the Department of Health and Human Services. The change gives DOJ responsibility for enforcing civil-rights complaints in K-12 and higher education and places monitoring and compliance for programs under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act with HHS. About 7 million students receive special-education services, and advocates say the transfer could fragment accountability, push disputes into legal or medical systems, and make it harder for families to secure mandated services.
Trump further guts the Education Department by shifting oversight of special education and civil rights to other federal agencies
EARNED MY SPURS: UNABLE TO CURB MY CUSSING 🐎15Bear in mind that trump asked his brother why he 'bothered to keep his disabled son alive'. He was speaking about his nephew. Why they bothered to keep him alive.

Oregoncowgirl2Every time I log in to pay my loans their system is down the app no longer works at all. They are making it harder and harder to pay them too. This is disgusting how these agencies are being set up for failure and creating a failure for the taxpayers and students trying to repay their debt.
I'm not opposed to improving systems. Moving special education oversight creates uncertainty for students who need stability, services, & protections every day. #proudblue #pinks Special ed, civil rights oversight carved out of Education Department : NPR share.google/45hFlkX7tRXc...

Digital Warrior - Combat Disinfo2These are the same people that terminated all civil rights investigations against those with disabilities and are using those resources to target trans youth and discrimination against white people.
