Please keep your eye on this Dept. Of Ed. concern!
![video description: text on a black screen, “The Dept. of Education (federal) has notified staff that the office will be closed tomorrow (Wed. March 12th) to reopen Thursday (March 13th). It is being credibly reported that the closure comes as more than half of the Dept’s staff will be laid off. As a disability civil rights attorney who represents students with disabilities in education cases, I can say with confidence that the way this administration wishes to break the system will harm your children. Disability services are already slashed and underfunded, and cutting federal agencies that have a duty to provide a free and appropriate public education will place MILLIONS of kids with disabilities at risk of physical and emotional harm. Please review your state’s disability rights in education NOW and contact your representatives. But for now, remember that regardless, federal and state disability rights laws have not changed.“]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pjdlrjbhv66e3fnryaskj625/bafkreigb75h5jxsz7zoy5wkofwmpl7k46nobqbxbsbong3yxu2elclhway@jpeg)

Excited to be here! Meta has been suspending my accounts for posting about disability rights as a disability rights attorney and disabled woman. At a crucial time in history, we cannot allow censorship to weaken our efforts to protect civil rights.
