New HEW rules lift handicapped rights in education and access
The 1970s confrontation over disability rights is reframed as 48 pages of HEW rules plus 106 pages of related documents. The rules require eliminating physical barriers when federal funds are involved and guarantee free public education for handicapped children, with integration in regular classrooms where possible. The piece notes the policy shift demands social sensitivity locally and frames modern government as expanding citizen entitlements while criticizing imaginative sympathy gaps evident in society.
