Disability rights advocates are criticizing the Trump administration’s decision to place Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in charge of federal special education programs, arguing that the move risks treating disabled students as medical cases rather than students entitled to educational opportunities. The backlash stems in part from Kennedy’s controversial remarks about autism earlier this year, when he suggested that children with autism would never hold jobs, play sports, or go on dates. Although he later clarified that he was referring only to the most severe cases, advocates say the comments reflect a broader misunderstanding of disability and inclusive education. The transfer of special education responsibilities from the Department of Education to the Department of Health and Human Services is part of the Trump administration’s broader effort to dismantle the Education Department and redistribute its programs across federal agencies. Administration officials maintain that the change will improve coordination of services while preserving all legal protections and educational rights for students with disabilities. Concerns extend beyond partisan lines. Former Education Secretary Margaret Spellings questioned the rationale behind dispersing education programs across multiple agencies, while Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA), chair of the Senate committee overseeing both education and health policy, has pledged to work on legislation that could block the transfer.
