This DP headline obviously had the desired effect based on the negative and outraged posts I am reading.  DeVos eliminated a bunch of paperwork telling local communities how they must spend Federal dollars.  DeVos did not eliminate any of the funding nor did she eliminate “the rights for disabled students.”   A casual reader and of course the Trump haters will see what they want.. an evil witch cooking little disabled children in her hateful GOP pot.    
She is actually empowering local schools and the parents who run them with more power by giving them more direct control of the federal dollars.  Washington DC doesn’t really know how best to help the disabled in over 92,000 public schools in America.  Your local school board does.
