This disability education law just turned 50. Disability advocates want more. "Our civil rights are not up for negotiations," Rep. Lateefah Simon said.

♿️ 50 yrs of IDEA brought progress, but advocates say it’s not enough. They want full funding, stronger enforcement, less segregation, & real inclusion in every classroom. Civil rights aren’t negotiable

Sorry for the short notice! We're collaborating w/our friends at @downhomenc.bsky.social this Monday & Tuesday for demonstrations in High Point & Winston! Read entire thread! 🧵🧵🧵*Cake* may be offered! #FullyFundIDEA

Today marks 50 years of IDEA — a law that changed lives, including mine as a special education teacher and a dad of a student with an IEP.
I’m grateful for IDEA, but not for Congress’ 50 years of broken promises.
It’s time to FULLY FUND IDEA NOW.

Successful day advocating on the Hill w/ Ed Trust-Midwest Michigan Partnership for Equity & Opportunity (MPEO) coalition members!

We talked with legislative offices about the importance of protecting public education and upholding the civil rights of marginalized students.
