Trump Plan to Break Up Education Dept Sparks Civil Rights Alarm
TL;DR Summary
The Trump administration proposed relocating the Education Department's Office for Civil Rights to the Justice Department and transferring its disability-education programs to Health and Human Services as part of a broader move to dismantle the department. The changes would require congressional action, and disability advocates say moving offices would still necessitate new laws, raising concerns about civil-rights enforcement and funding for about $15 billion in special-education programs.
