This failure placed financial burdens on all public school systems and gave the opening to those already so inclined to attack education for disabled students . It also fueled resentment of children with disabilities.

Project 2025 has a strong eugenics component. When Trump ridiculed a disabled reporter during a political rally he was not just making a personal statement of contempt, he was deliberately messaging his base that he is for ending community services and protections for disabled people.

The next 4 years are the most critical for people who are considered disabled. It will be either full community services with liberty and justice for all or closed profit-making institutions.
