For decades, disabled people have fought for their rights to go to school and live alongside peers without disabilities. Now, they fear those rights could be losing ground under the Trump administration. Most notably, the Department of Justice recently released guidance that lowered the barrier to institutionalizing any person with a disability. Critics argue this undermines decades of progress in integrating disabled people into schools and communities. And last month, the Education Department announced it would shift special education to the Department of Health and Human Services. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has called into question the abilities of people with autism.

The Feb. 28 attack on a primary school in southeastern Iran was the deadliest reported strike in the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran. Most of the victims were children. In almost any other conflict, these haunting truths would be seared into national memory. Yet more than 120 days since at least one U.S. missile struck the school in Minab, there remains no final accounting of what happened. The rapid pace of U.S. bombing and chaotic death tolls have left families without resolution. President Donald Trump has denied U.S. involvement, while Iran blames the U.S. The Pentagon’s investigation remains incomplete.

Texas public schools will require students to read Bible stories under a reading list approved by the state’s education board. The required reading list approved Friday by the Texas State Board of Education widens conservative efforts to bring more Christian teachings into U.S. classrooms. The push in Texas has been closely followed by education observers, who say the required reading list appears to be the first of its kind in the nation. The mandate required more than 5 million public school students in Texas to read traditional literary works such as E.B. White’s “Charlotte’s Web.” Also on the list are Bible stories, including passages from the New Testament and excerpts from the Book of Job.

Fifteen college basketball players filed a lawsuit in an Ohio state court claiming the NCAA's new age-based model unfairly shuts them out of further competition. The NCAA will now allow athletes five seasons of competition over a five-year period that begins with their full-time enrollment or the academic year following their 19th birthday, whichever occurs first. Athletes whose eligibility expired by spring 2026 under the traditional model will not be allowed a fifth year of competition. The lawsuit was filed in Cincinnati and seeks a ruling that would allow a fifth year of competition for those athletes.
