Standing on the shoulders of Plessy v Ferguson and Brown v Boe, Mills v BOE 1972 used the groundbreaking decision that “separate facilities” were inherently unequal” to influence disability legislation.

The inadequacies of the school district cannot weigh more heavily on the exceptional or handicapped child than on the normal child."

Forced congress to appropriate funds in order to educate all children.

Stated that, "no child could be denied a public education because of “mental, behavioral, physical, or emotional handicaps or deficiencies."

This lawsuit was the groundwork for the all future disability legislation including Education for All Handicapped Children Act and American with Disabilities Act (IDEA)

In the article, " Mills v Board of Education of District of Columbia (1972) " it goes into detail about how Mills was a class action lawsuit brought to the court on behalf of seven children denied public education by the District of Columbia School District because of their disabilities and the cost of accommodations the school would incur to educate them.

US District Court Judge Joseph Cornelius Waddy presided over the case and ruled in favor of the students, finding that they were not given due process prior to expulsion from the school. He ordered the Board to provide public education to all students regardless of the severity or extent of their disability or the availability of funds, with thirty days to provide education to the participants of the Mills class. Additionally, the court required the Board to identify, contact, and provide education to any eligible student who had been previously excluded or expelled by the school system and publicly advertise the policy change.

In an essay I found, this student connects the Mills v Board of Education past to today.

1) Before the Mills v Board of Education, students with disabilities were denied to free education.

2) Today students with disabilities are able to attend public cost and do not have to worry about being denied.

3) Students with disabilities now have the opportunity to actually learn.

4) Today this still has an impact on classrooms because there are people out there who are not receiving the proper education with having a disability.

5)Students today are no longer being suspended for having a disability.
