Court Cases

     I am so impressed as I read through all the cases defending the rights of the disabled.  To see how far we have come in so amazing.  I am so grateful for the bravery of the people who put so much on the line to fight for these rights.  It must have taken so much courage to loose on the state level but go ahead and take it to the next level of the Supreme Court.  I am specifically impressed with the PARC vs. Pennsylvania case.  The parents wanted what was best for their child and were willing to do whatever was necessary to get that for them.  This case led to FAPE (Free and Appropriate Public Education)  Later, IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Act) ensured children with disabilities that they would have what they needed in their public education.  These cases have set a precedence for everyone else to benefit from.  It is so comforting that parents and children have rights.  To fight for someone else who cannot fight for themselves, is truly Christlike.
