The question for the justices involves a federal law that guarantees disabled students an education specific to their needs. Lawyers for Miguel Luna Perez, a deaf student who attended public school in Sturgis, Michigan, said that for more than a decade the school system failed to provide him with a qualified sign language interpreter and misled his parents into believing he was on track to earn his high school diploma. Just before graduation, however, his family was told he qualified only for a “certificate of completion,” not a diploma.
His family responded by pursuing claims under two laws, the broad Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibits discrimination against disabled people, and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. The IDEA guarantees children with disabilities a free public education that is tailored to their specific needs.Perez’s family and the school district ultimately settled the IDEA claims.
xtreme court, not supreme..interfering with ppl with disabilities. smh
Why does anybody want to harm these students with disabilities?
it's astounding how the Supreme Court is now all about how to make life more and more difficult for American citizens, particularly not white old rich men.
Conservatives licking their chops to fuck over the shriner kids.
Nazis targeted people with disabilities, too 🤷
There was another political party back in the 1930s that did everything it could to persecute and disenfranchise ethnic and religious minorities, gays, immigrants, and disabled people. Can't remember which country they were based out of, though. Somebody help me out here.
