Civil rights in education

Civil rights in education refer to the legal protections ensuring all students have equal access to learning opportunities regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, disability, or background. These rights prevent discrimination and promote fairness in school admissions, facilities, curriculum, and treatment. Laws like the Civil Rights Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act aim to create an inclusive environment where every student can succeed without facing unfair barriers. Essentially, civil rights in education work to guarantee that no one is denied quality education based on who they are, fostering equity and justice within schools.
