I have a rare autoimmune disorder, requiring oxygen 24/7 among other issues. There's no treatments, drugs, or predictable episodes of dysfunction - I can wake up energetic & mid-afternoon I can't walk 20 feet or vice-versa. This, combined with being forced to retire from a career I absolutely loved, is stressful enough, must you punish me for something I have no control over? It's nothing short of cruel to go out of the way to make life more difficult for those of us with more challenges than the average person. It's no different than kicking a person when they are down. I am appalled that my tax dollars are being used to make my life more difficult.
My child and family members benefit from 504 due to intellectual disability. Providing xtra time for testing has helped our children achieve academic goals. Please do not take this away from our children. Let’s lead our children to success not failure!
This Lawsuit has implications for the entire country. I have two children with 504 plans and without it, they would not have equal access to education. This is a direct assault on children with disabilities and medical conditions.
