250 Words1 Page
The article by Paul L. Morgan and George Farkas, Is Special Education Racist?, states that many researchers have indicated in the past that school children in the United States of ethnic, cultural, and different language backgrounds have been abundantly diagnosed as being disabled. In the article, Too Many or Too Few Black and Latino Kids in Special Ed?, by J. Weston Phippen, the writer states that more than six million children in the United States receive special education services for their disabilities. Of those school aged children 6 and older, nearly 20 percent are African American. Critics claim that this high number shows that African American children are put into special education because schools are racially biased. (Phippen, 2015)
