    PARC vs Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
    The PARC field a class-action suit against the commonwealth of Pennsylvania for the failure to provide proper public education to these students who have intellectual disabilities.
    The case was resolved quickly between the two parties. The state agreed to provide a free public education for children.
    I think the decision was the best option for the future of education and all student with disabilities.Every student must be able to learn no matter of age,sex or race.
