Disability Rights Legislation in the United States
Larry P. v. Riles Court Case
By 1979, black children represented only 10% of students in the Californian education system, but special education was comprised of 25% black students. The defendants argued that IQ tests were discriminatory and were racially or culturally biased in favor of white students. The judge of this case ruled that IQ tests could no longer be used as the sole identifier for placing black students in special education.
