Federal judge rules DeVos illegally delayed Obama-era special education rule
A federal judge ruled Thursday that Education Secretary Betsy DeVos illegally delayed an Obama-era rule that would force states to rectify racial inequities in special education programs.
U.S. District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan said DeVos’s delay was “arbitrary and capricious.” Her ruling invalidates DeVos’s decision and will allow the rule to immediately go into effect over agency leaders’ expressed concerns over “racial quotas.”
The provision, which was passed under the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act near the end of the Obama administration, mandated states to identify school districts with “significant disproportionality” in the number of students of color put in special education programs or restraining classroom settings or were disciplined.
DeVos delayed the rule after siding with advocates who believed racial disparities were not results of efforts to push students out of special education programs but instead emblematic of districts’ struggles to properly train teachers and that implementing the rule could result in unfair quotas.

I hope they continue to push every single pin-headed piece of obstruction that the Wicked Witch threw out there so far down her throat that she chokes until .... well, I don't know, but there is not enough that they can do to make her pay for the evil and destruction that she had tried to do to the American education system.
I'd love it if they could somehow find a way to impose jail time with it, but the way things are going she'd probably get about 2 hours.
