The lawsuit filed by 17 states seeks to declare Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act unconstitutional, which would eliminate vital protections for students with disabilities. Section 504 ensures these students receive appropriate accommodations and are not discriminated against due to their disabilities. Revoking this law would deprive countless students of their legal right to a free and appropriate public education. I urge you to take action to safeguard Section 504 and the rights of students with special needs. These protections are essential for ensuring equal educational opportunities and allowing all students to reach their full potential. Undermining Section 504 would be a major setback for disability rights and inclusive education. Please use your authority to defend this pivotal legislation and the students it serves.
