  • Resumen

  • This podcast episode highlights the alarming legal challenge to Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, a foundational disability rights law in the United States. Kaleigh Brendle, a student advocate, explains that 17 attorneys general have filed a lawsuit arguing that Section 504 is unconstitutional. If repealed, this could strip away protections for millions of disabled Americans, impacting education, employment, healthcare, and accessibility. The conversation emphasizes the lack of media coverage on the issue and urges public action to defend disability rights. The discussion also connects this case to broader civil rights issues, stressing the potential consequences of dismantling federal oversight on disability protections.

    Here is a link to the article with Kaleigh Brendle on USA Today.
