Disability Discrimination In Education

Summary

Discrimination based on disability in educational settings is illegal under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Educational institutions must provide reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities. If a college requires actions like holding hands due to a disability, it may be considered discriminatory. Understanding your rights under the ADA is crucial, and if you face such issues, consider seeking legal advice or contacting the U.S. Department of Educations Office for Civil Rights for further assistance.
