Restore OCR and Disability Programs to the Department of Education

Restore OCR and Disability Programs to the Department of Education Restore the Office for Civil Rights and all programs supporting students with disabilities to the Department of Education immediately. Gutting these offices and displacing qualified staff isn't a policy reform — it's an attack on the legal protections millions of disabled students depend on every single day. The Trump administration's decision to strip OCR out of the Department of Education puts unqualified people in charge of the nation's most critical civil rights enforcement for students. These aren't bureaucratic reshuffles. They are direct threats to IDEA, Section 504, and the ADA protections that give disabled kids access to a real education. Families in my community are scared, and they have every right to be. I expect you to use every tool available — legislation, oversight hearings, funding fights — to reverse this and protect our students. Do your job and defend them.
