P.A.R.C v. Pennsylvania
In P.A.R.C., the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania believed the exclusions of “retarded children” complained of are based upon state statutes. Two of these are, first state section provided, that the state board of education would be relieved from providing public education to a child that a psychologist determines “uneducable and untrainable.” The second section allowed the state to indefinitely “postpone” the admission to public school for a child who has not attained the “mental age of five years.
