Pennsylvania Association for Retarded Children v. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
This case was monumental because the state of Pennsylvania denied children with disabilities a public education. A group of children with various issues was denied free public school education. Although the judge did not find fault in either party, the judges ruled that all children regardless of their disability have the right under the law to attend free public education and denying students with a disability a public education is a violation of their 14 amendment rights. -
