But then they began to realize that not caring was the real disability!!!

"What students with disabilities stand to lose

Students with disabilities and other learning and developmental differences depend on the Department of Education's expertise. Nearly 1 million students with autism rely on IDEA’s requirements for individualized supports.

Students from marginalized communities rely on the department’s Office for Civil Rights to investigate discrimination. And 15% of K-12 students with disabilities rely on fair, consistent implementation of federal law, which is something only the Education Department can guarantee.

That enforcement is not theoretical. In fiscal year 2024 alone, the department resolved about 8,500 disability rights complaints, conducted proactive compliance reviews, issued guidance and responded to more than 11,000 inquiries from families and schools seeking help. For many families, whose schools are not providing required accommodations, the Department of Education is their only real recourse."

"McMahon's education plan breaks the law and denies students' rights | Opinion

McMahon's argument that no one would miss the Department of Education depends on several assumptions. These assumptions do not align with the lived reality of American families."
