This is SO wrong!!



Texas school district plans to segregate 5,000 students with disabilities—bus them to far away separate, but equal facilities.

Now even Trump's Dept. of Education has opened civil rights investigation.

"Longer bus rides could create challenges for students with medical needs," federal government report states.

"Schools cannot exclude students with disabilities simply because of their disability status."

The school district's plan would move kids from their neighborhood schools starting this year—to designated "Special Education Specialty Schools."

Parents argue that it removes children from their communities, long-time friendships, routines, and established support networks.

Houston Independent School District officials claim busing students with disabilities will help the district address long-standing compliance issues.
