Tennessee’s Foster Care System Is Failing Children
Thirteen children, ages 1 to 15, are suing the Tennessee Department of Children’s Services’ Commissioner Margie Quin and other state officials, on behalf of over 9,000 kids in the foster care system for mistreatment, including shackling and abuse to lack of education and basic health care. We’re demanding court-ordered changes to fix these systemic failures.
Disabled Children in Montana Are Being Denied Educational Opportunities
Two Montana high school students with disabilities and Disability Rights Montana have filed a class action lawsuit challenging the state’s unequal education policy. Under Montana law, students with disabilities lose their right to public education at age 18, unlike non-disabled students, who can stay in school until age 22. We’re demanding court-ordered changes to address the violation of federal law and discrimination against disabled youth.
