This week,
Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos proposed eliminating
all funding for the Special
Olympics.
The Special Olympics do more
than provide an athletic outlet, but they also provide
hope, visibility, and community. By fighting against a
dominant narrative of disability and demonstrating the
remarkable things people with special needs and/or
disabilities can do, the Special Olympics help to define
and inspire an entire community.
Betsy DeVos's attempt
to eliminate the Special Olympics is part of a
consistent effort to target and attack America's most
vulnerable communities.
We must speak up and let her
know her behavior is seen and is absolutely
unacceptable.
