Trump Guts Vital Office For Disabled Kids - The Logical Leftist

[TexasTowelie]

In a shocking move, the Trump administration has drastically reduced the staff of the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS), the very office responsible for overseeing special education funding and services for 7.5 million children with disabilities across the nation. This reduction-in-force (RIF) has left many employees, who fear retribution, voicing their concerns about the devastating impact on the rights and services for infants, toddlers, and youth with disabilities. With approximately $15 billion in special education funding at stake, the cuts threaten to dismantle the essential support systems that ensure compliance with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Join us as we delve into the implications of these layoffs, hear from affected employees, and discuss what this means for the future of special education in America.
