Litigation Against Discriminatory

Historically, people with disabilities have suffered heavy discrimination. The atypical were considered inhuman, children with disabilities were deemed incapable of learning. Nonconforming children were ostracized from public schools (GCU, 2010). Fortunately, opinions have shifted to a more inclusive nature in part by the efforts of advocates who worked to secure public funding for education of children with disabilities. Litigation against discriminatory practices in public schools was a major aspect of the Civil Rights Movement.
