The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) enforces federal laws that protect students with disabilities from discrimination in schools. Recent budget and staff cuts under President Donald Trump have reduced the office’s ability to investigate complaints, causing delays and leaving some families without support when schools fail to meet legal requirements.
Key Facts
Felicita Piñón, a student with cerebral palsy, faced difficulties when her Texas school refused to make accommodations for her to join the cheerleading team.
Her mother filed a complaint with the federal Office for Civil Rights in 2024, which was later rejected.
The OCR enforces laws that prevent discrimination in education based on disability, race, and other factors.
Budget and staffing cuts have led the OCR to dismiss many complaints without investigation.

Before the cuts, the OCR provided guidance and technical support to schools and families.
The changes raise concerns about how students’ rights will be protected when states or schools fail to comply with special education laws.
The OCR was created in 1980 to ensure schools do not discriminate and to support equity in education.

President Donald Trump criticized the U.S. Supreme Court after it rejected a Republican-backed congressional map for Missouri for the third time. The court said changing the map this late would cause confusion as voting has already started, so Missouri will use the current districts in the upcoming election.
Key Facts
The Supreme Court blocked Missouri’s Republican-backed congressional map three times this month.
The court said changing the map now would cause "electoral chaos" because ballots are printed and voting already began.

Republicans wanted the new map to help gain a seventh U.S. House seat; they currently hold six of eight seats.
Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe and President Trump support the new map, saying it shows fairness and election security.
A group called People Not Politicians challenged the map through a referendum, which Missouri’s Supreme Court ruled valid.
The dispute has led to about 16 lawsuits in state and federal courts.
Trump and the Republican National Committee have strongly criticized court decisions blocking the new map.
