S.R. v. Kenton County Sheriff's Office | American Civil Liberties Union

S.R. v. Kenton County Sheriff's Office | American Civil Liberties Union



A
deputy sheriff handcuffed two elementary school children who have
disabilities, causing them pain and trauma, according to a federal
lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union, the Children's Law Center, and Dinsmore & Shohl.



Students with disabilities represent 12% of public school students but
are 75% of all students subjected to physical restraint at school,
according to the U.S. Department of Education.


Students of color
and students with disabilities are especially vulnerable to push-out
trends and the discriminatory application of discipline. One child in
this case is Latino, and the other is African-American.
