Equal Inclusion Case Law
Equal inclusion in the classroom is very important in education today; the teachers have to follow the laws in their classrooms. I will explain how certain laws and court cases affect the classroom for equality.
Brown vs. Board of Education (1954)
This case was about equal education for blacks as in the whites, for the blacks to be able to attend any school whether it was a white or black school instead of being confined to one particular school because they are black.

Mills vs. The Board of Education (1972)
The case was brought up because there were 18,000 students not enrolled in a school because of behavior problems as in ADHD and other behavior problems. The reason being this is because the schools did not have the funding to have support staff to help assist the students with these issues. The effect is that Education must provide services no matter if the district has an inability to pay.
Section 504 P.L 94-112 (1973)

The effect is integrating students with disabilities into programs and sports with the
