Three Jewish couples and two Orthodox Jewish schools have filed a federal lawsuit alleging that California discriminates against religious children with disabilities and their schools.
The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, names as defendants the California Department of Education and its superintendent of public instruction, Tony Thurmond; and the Los Angeles Unified School District and its chief of special education, equity and access, Anthony Aguilar.
“Since parents often cannot afford to pay for disability services themselves, California forces them to choose between accessing those services and giving their children a Jewish education,” states the complaint, which was filed by the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty. Becket is representing parents Chaya Loffman and Jonathan Loffman, Fedora Nick and Morris Taxon, and Sarah Perets and Ariel Perets, who want to send their children to Orthodox Jewish schools with IDEA funding. The public interest law firm also is representing the Jean & Jerry Friedman Shalhevet High School and Samuel A. Fryer Yavneh Hebrew Academy, two private Orthodox Jewish schools that seek access to IDEA funds to support education for students with disabilities.
