I work with kids with disabilities and this would be so detrimental to them if it goes through.
Kerrie supported: Protect Accommodations for Students With Disabilities
I have seen 504 plans change lives for many other students like me. Please don’t take away a valuable resource for those that desperately need it.
Allison supported: Protect Accommodations for Students With DisabilitiesI am currently a researcher looking into disability injustice and awareness. I am also a born and raised Utahan still living and working here. I worked many years with the Utah school for the Deaf and Blind, and I was a child who is still suffering from lack of support to this day in my adult life. Please, if you truly care about kids, or any human for that matter, stop taking away our protections and rights.
Piper supported: Protect Accommodations for Students With DisabilitiesI'm a student with autism in Logan. I need a 504 plan to be able to learn, and in some cases, accomadations are necessary. Without my 504, I would be unable to graduate, which is my only goal so I can take up politics and accomplish my dream of being a Senator.
Gov. Cox, I insist that you keep accommodations for students like me with disabilities. We are not statistics or numbers, but people.
Milka/Riot supported: Protect Accommodations for Students With DisabilitiesI and THOUSANDS of other students have struggled for YEARS with medical issues, both mental and physical, that made school extremely difficult to handle. 504 plans were the one thing protecting us and giving us the ability to learn and succeed in a school environment, and they want to take that away from us. It is ridiculous that our government has come to this and there should be absolutely NO way that literally taking away our rights to learn and receive a fair education should be allowed.
Calla supported: Petition to Protect Disability Rights: Stop the Attack on Section 504Children with varying aspects of learning deficits, developmental delays, and a myriad of other very real health conditions rely on IEP and support from educators. They deserve adapted learning environments to best suit their needs. They deserve to learn and grow as much as children well suited for general education.
Taryn supported: Petition to Protect Disability Rights: Stop the Attack on Section 504I worked at a preschool with a boy with severe disabilities. He loves school and interacting with other kids. He just needs more help and resources in the classroom. To take that away from him and any other student isn’t just wrong, it is discrimination against a marginalized community of children who had no say in the matter. You should be putting more funding into these incredible individuals instead of sports.
Kimmy supported: Petition to Protect Disability Rights: Stop the Attack on Section 504Everyone has the right to education, and let's remember that Helen Keller was both blind AND deaf long before the age of the internet yet got a college degree from Harvard in a world that was less accommodating for anyone with a disability. I can't imagine how difficult it must've been for her, and the challenges blind people face on a daily basis, particularly when it comes to activities related to their education. We've come a long way in 2024, but improvements still need to be made.McGraw-Hill makes so many of the textbooks and computer programs used in schools and universities, and it's important that they make their products easier for blind people to use. Let's use our voice to make a change!
