What facet of our lives will the feds take over next?. States need to put down their foot and say education is nowhere mentioned in the constitution and so, by the tenth amendment, ed is a state issue.!!
Disabled students must be given sports, says Education Dept. - U.S. News
Jan 25, 2013
The feds are ordering schools across the country to make "reasonable" changes to sports programs so that disabled students can play or else create separate teams for them.
The new guidance from the Education Department issued Friday was hailed by advocates for the disabled but denounced by a conservative think-tank that said it could cost big bucks for cash-strapped schools.
The new order from the Education Department says athletics is also a civil right for the disabled and schools that dont protect it could lose federal funding.
Under the latest rules, schools must tweak traditional programs to give qualified disabled students a shot at playing as long as they can do it without fundamentally changing the sport or giving anyone an advantage
