This is awful. News article is in the quotes. Iโm beyond disgusted. This is why they have been working to dismantle the Department of Education , so red states can do things like this and violate the civil rights of disabled children and families.
Texas is planning to transfer 5,000 disabled students in Houston to "hub" campuses, which will potentially segregate them from the students in their neighborhood schools.
The state made this decision without any meaningful input from communities.
Families in Texas are demanding a pause before this major restructuring proceeds, and a federal civil rights investigation is underway.
When I was a kid, the highlight of my day in school was passing the special education classes and dapping them up and chatting with them in-between the bell. It was always a high point. No matter how bad things were, they never failed to brighten up my day and I hope they felt the same about me. The thought of our nation's schools losing these meaningful interactions makes me so upset.
I'm not an expert on disability education, but I know the implications of rounding up a certain group of vulnerable people and concentrating them into a centralized institution where their interactions and personal agency are limited.
instituting real reform. I would also argue there has never been any proven long term success when the state takes over a district. For those not in Texas please know that public ed has been under attack & this is a continuation of the Republican agenda to dismantle public ed in
Trump's DOJ is arguing that states should not be required to provide in-home or community-based care to Americans with disabilities, jeopardizing care for over 8.4 million Americans.
@swirleduinpoems I didnโt argue with them because I just donโt have that kind of energy ๐, but watching this kind of soft launch of gay couples over the years and time after time homophobes argue about it is so surreal.
@13leala@justalarriemar Iโll help if I can. I will say at first it bothered me but it really doesnโt bother me anymore. I wonder if sometimes Iโm guilty of blocking people too fast too ๐. Especially new accounts because I always wonder if they are plants or bots๐.
