Hi Lisa, My husband thinks Project 2025 is fear mongering. I told him I hope he is right. I know Project 2025 is more than just removing/or drastically reducing the US Department of Education, but it is an important issue. People don't realize what is at stake. People don't really how federal protections are important. I was too young to know what special education was like prior to the US Department of Education was established. I am aware of a law passed in 1975 regarding the Special Education. I recall IDEA being primarily established in the 1960's. However special education has enhanced so much because of the US Department of Education. I believe the section of special education is called the Office of Special Education Records (aka OSER). What will happen to my childrens education when this could come into fruition. I'm in MN. My governor is Tim Walz (Harris's former running mate) I would be more nervous if I lived elsewhere. Politically I'm a moderate and proudly have non-party written on my registration card. However, this should scare people. Sadly, it doesn't scare people. I hope they (the ones not concerned) are right. I have observed comments on the Internet such as education in the US is at an all time low. Or comments such as we spend more money on education than other countries yet the US is ranked such and such on such in such poll. You are the most knowledgeable person on due process. Both of my kids have IEP meetings soon. I thought I would brush up on my kids rights prior to their IEP meetings. Glad I was able to log in and comment on such an important post.
