In 1954, Florida, like many other Southern states, was slow with complying with the Supreme Court's Brown v. Board of Education ruling, which was unconstitutional. I was born in 1955 & I went to segregated schools in Florida
These people are about to find out what all these programs accomplished when they no longer exist. Think before you vote. Because it’s too late for “can I change my vote”. We are in the find out stage. And the shit has hit the fan.
So vote with your feet and get out in the street and have your voices heard. Stop telling everyone how great your country is and fucking prove it! Right now your country looks like a backward piece of shit.
Sylvia is spot on, federal agencies exist because not all the states can regulate or due what is right for all. If federal dollars go to states, it would more than likely be miss appropriated and not used as intended.
Let’s be clear the Dept of Education is a glaring failure. The US education system since DoE inception has tanked. We’ve gone from 1st to 30th & less than 25% of budget makes it to classrooms.
Very few Schools follow IEPs now I’m sure It will get worse. They will probably just expel all special education kids to keep them out so they don’t have to service them.
My state couldn't even keep my school *open*. Estacada Oregon, entire public school district closed in 1981 and 1986 until "emergency funds" could be found.
I wouldn't trust states to fund special education, no matter how many changes have been made since then, and no matter how blue they are.

All of this would be totally new to them and they'd have no sense of needing to keep any legislation in place to account for it.
