@life_in_parrishdise: Getting the action alert from NDSC to contact our legislators about the Department of Education just deflated me. I am so tired of fighting, but I have to do it. WE HAVE TO KEEP FIGHTING! If you haven’t seen the alert, here it is: 🚨URGENT: Protect Special Education! 🚨 Congress is considering bills that would: ❌ Abolish the U.S. Dept. of Education ❌ Block grant IDEA funding ❌ Strip federal oversight from special education ❌ Move special ed programs to agencies with no education expertise These changes would disproportionately harm students with disabilities by weakening their rights, services, and protections. 📣 TAKE ACTION: Use NDSC’s action alert to tell your Senators and Representatives to VOTE NO on any bill that dismantles the Department of Education or any special education protections > bit.ly/NDSCActionAlerts Please share and speak out! #downsyndrome #advocatelikeamother #morealikethandifferent #fyp
