RFK Jr. Will Oversee Disability Education Policy

The Trump administration has shifted oversight of disability education and civil rights from the Department of Education to the Department of Health and Human Services, placing Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at the helm. This move raises concerns about the potential impact on students with disabilities, given Kennedy's controversial stance on vaccines and autism. The decision underscores the administration's broader strategy to realign federal education and civil rights policies, potentially affecting the support and protections these students receive. This shift could have significant implications for how disability education policies are developed and enforced going forward.
