Waterstone, Southwestern Law School a Enacted in 1975, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) provides all children with the right to a free and appropriate public education. On the face of it, the IDEA is a shining example of lawOCOs democratizing impulse. But is that really the case? In Disabled Education, Ruth Colker digs deep beneath the IDEAOCOs surface and reveals that the IDEA contains flaws that were evident at the time of its enactment that limit its effectiveness for poor and minority children. a Through an examination of the evolution of the IDEA, the experiences of children who fought for their education in court, and social science literature on the meaning of learning disability, Colker reveals the IDEAOCOs shortcomings, but also suggests ways in which resources might be allocated more evenly along class lines. a Ruth Colker ais Distinguished University Professor and Heck-Faust Memorial Chair in Constitutional Law at the Ohio State UniversityOCOs Moritz College of Law.
