I really wish more publications would run opinion pieces/analysis of what's happening with the state of disability education by adults who had IEPs and 504s, not just parents of disabled kids.

I was lucky to publish something with the amazing @nursingclio.bsky.social team. However, it’s not about positive developments.

Every once in a while during the 2024 campaign, I'd meet parents of disabled kids who were part of Moms for Liberty or people who taught autistic kids. @slooterman.bsky.social writes how they are afraid right now as Trump targets special education staff.

Trump’s attempt to gut special education office has some conservative parents on edge

The president called the layoffs a part of cuts to “Democrat programs,” but children across the nation would be impacted.

No one should ever speak the words "Asperger's Syndrome" to us ever again. Hans Asperger's job was to decide which children the Nazis should just kill and which they might yet make use of. He should have no role in any discussion of any disability.

A 15 year old autistic child named Emmanuel Garcia went missing Oct 4th. Houston PD found him & gave him to ICE despite his Mom having filed a missing person’s report.

He’s now in an immigration facility for unaccompanied minors.

His Mom is pleading for his return:

A 15 year old boy with autism went missing earlier this week

He was selling fruit with his family in Springbranch when he disappeared

They filed a missing person’s report & begged the public to help find him

Turns out he was in a Houston ICE detention facility

They kidnapped a disabled child!
