A new lawsuit alleges the Trump administration is failing students of color with disabilities

[basquebromance]

On Thursday, an advocacy group filed a federal lawsuit against Trump’s Education Department, challenging the agency’s decision last week to delay an Obama-era rule meant to address disparities in the treatment of such students. The "Equity in IDEA” rule, which took effect in January 2017, required states to determine if racial disparities were occurring the identification, treatment, and discipline of students with disabilities. But last week, on July 3, the agency issued a final notice that it would delay for two years the special education rule’s implementation.
