Washington, DC —The grotesque misinterpretation of the law in the judge's final ruling in the case of Texas v. Kennedy vacating the community integration mandate to tell states that they are not required to provide services that keep disabled people in their communities flies in the face of bipartisan protections for the disability community. However, our rights remain firmly enshrined in the law. We will continue to fight for disability justice and liberation. Disabled children deserve better. They deserve joy, care, and inclusion in a world that is equitable for all children, and we are building that world together.
