Re -enab America

When I was a teenager, I took a lesson of voice from a musician who was blind. I saw in her apartment, to work on vision music, scales songs and vocal exercises, and I thought how she managed with our ill-fated bus system, she was out for a walk in the store, or just a walk. I was very afraid to ask.

In a summer, I spent a lot of time with a genetic doctor who worked in a clinic which was part of What did the state say again Department of Mental Health and Mental Digestion in Texas. I learned about dozens of genetic diseases, which left permanent intellectual disabled children. I learned about History of institutionalization In our state. It was not beautiful. There is no stateWe talked about her Cassalide every week, what caused diseases, and how she handled the medical needs of each child. It was an eye opening, at least to say.

Then, in my final year of high school, I worked with a child with developmental delay in motor skills. We played balls, games, anything to help him move his body, as his parents could see that it helped him regulate, helping him to achieve dexterity.

My teenage brain started keeping all this together- the ways in which we look out of people with disabilities out and out of mind. Special education in various schools, some additional activities, complex and coordinated steps required to complete day-to-day life are hidden. A lot has changed since then; Disabled children go to mainstream schools, extra curricular are more inclusive, other transport options exist, and we accommodate our infrastructure and workplaces (by law, if not desire) to make it easier for anyone, which is not successful, not successful.

But now our President and his administration are fighting with disabled people Name of government efficiencyNevertheless, this is more than that. Whether about rhetoric Reconcile Again Social security benefits Hard to get, it’s nothing but competence, Euogenics theory The government works at the highest level, and it is already making life very difficult for life 70 million adults In our country who have disability, 7.5 million children Those who get help in school for one, and Millions competent Those who take care of them. Let us clarify how egoistic it is; The Trump administration is targeting services and safety that affects about 25 percent of the US population, saying that it is not the responsibility of the federal government to determine the standards of care and thoughts for these Americans, to ensure that they are being treated equally.

Is the endgeem more services privatization, or, transfer the responsibility of taking care of people with disabilities and taking care of people with disabilities, or Except for states to decide Who is worthy of help and who is not, the message crystal is clear: “Good gene“In the world of Trump, it is not just white that matters – as the administration has tried to eliminate racial diversity in the government and other places. Harass Of sound mindEveryone else can only rot.

Trump and his administration are doing so, no one should surprise. It is a President who campaigned for his first term in the office, copying the speed of one hand new York Times Reporter who is differentHe was then telling us that he instigated disability. And recently, as part of only 10 days in his second term, as part of an Antidivriti Rent, he convicted a middle-host collision in Washington DC. Air traffic controller With “severe intellectual disabled” and “psychiatric problems”, people with that job need to be “”Naturally talented talent,

At the top of the cut in social security administration, which helps some 67 million people of all ages disability insuranceTrump’s appointment is reducing the Department of Veteran Affairs and destroying the Education Department, both serve disabled people. Also, their justice department is removing Guidance documents that help businesses Serve better people with disabilities. One of the documents is about creating a new hotel ADA-conforming. Another disabled is about communicating with customers or customers. Republican budget plan in Congress Calls for cuts that are certain to affect the medicidWhich provides health care to both disabled children and adults.

Of 16 million giants in America, about One -third of disability benefitsmany Take help with mental health After trauma, injury and more, and already working with the collapse of changes in VA. About this 15 million people Use Medicade with the disabled.

Of course it will play all in court. And there is a chance that the administration will not take all these steps, given what they are doing An act of Congress requires To be legally. And there are people who think that it is okay to shrink the federal government and push all decisions into the states. But what happens when states decide to stop taking care of people with disabilities?

Texas and 16 other states Recently challenged the constitutionality of Section 504, A defending law This is probably better for parents, which makes possible educational housing for children with ADHD, autism and epilepsy as laws, not to mention children with dynamics or diabetes. Why? Those states objected to the Biden administration, which add “gender dysforia” under its protection. The suit has been stopped, but not withdrawn, and some legal analysis see as preview of efforts to reverse the case Olmusted v. LC, Supreme Court case that makes it discriminatory Make people with disabilities institution When they can live in the community. Outside the sight, the mind may soon return to the table for some of our weakest people.

Meanwhile, the President can explain what he is doing for universities – try to withdraw federal funds to get what he wants in the context of disability security – as a note, many states get the most money to educate children with disabilities, who vote for Republicans. And this is not just the race-based variety research that is trying to administration Pull the plugSocial security Research in disability Last month was only canned. Institute of Education, Research Branch of Education Department which studies, along with other things, between special education,, special education, Is destroyed,

In 2020, A pole 51 percent of people disabled in the US voted for Trump. This President, his administration and his supporters, through their words and their actions, have made it clear that their vision of America does not serve those people who are not the right physical and emotional specimens of whiteness. And this Last time our country went down from that pathResults were frightening for Americans and the world,
