From the Paper:

"Years ago, students with special needs were relegated to a classroom down the hall. They typically had special lunch periods away from the other students, and they were not offered music, art and other things that the student body incorporated into their day. In addition, their lessons were often extremely simple and there wasn't much concern about whether or not they got done. The landmark decision of Brown vs Board of Education in the 1960's changed all of that. While the suit was originally about an African American student who wanted to attend an all white school, the impact of that case forever changed the method of delivery for special education."
