US Education Department Sued Over Disability Failures

A federal lawsuit has been filed against the US Education Department, Trainor, and McMahon, alleging that the agency's handling of complaints and investigations has led to discriminatory and unsafe learning environments for students. The lawsuit claims the department has abandoned its responsibility to enforce civil rights protections, leaving families like Lyn Hollister, whose daughters with autism and cognitive impairment are struggling to receive appropriate education and support. Hollister's daughters, Shelbie and Makenzie, have been denied modifications to their curriculum and educational plans, leading to mental health issues for Shelbie and a change in Makenzie's high school completion plan that will provide more transition services.
