    [a #video on #Peertube about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]

    When a mother couldn’t find a place willing to employ her son Liván, who has #DownSyndrome, she decided to create one.

    Liva Café in Havana employs people with intellectual disabilities and #autism, with support from specialists in #psychology and #SpecialEducation. For workers like Livan, Karel and Richard, it’s a place to earn experience, build relationships and show what they can do.

    Cuba has long had policies aimed at integrating people with #disabilities into the workspace. But as the people in Liva’s story explain, significant barriers remain — particularly when it comes to finding employers willing to give them an opportunity.

    #TrumpSucks ramps up #EducationDepartment’s dismantling with changes on special education and civil rights

    By ANNIE MA

    WASHINGTON (AP) — "President Donald Trump’s administration on Tuesday accelerated its dismantling of the Education Department, delegating much of its work to protect the nation’s at-risk students in a move that carves away the vast majority of its functions for other agencies to handle.

    "The Department of Justice will take on enforcement of civil rights in education, while the Department of Health and Human Services will oversee special education, administration officials announced.

    "The two agencies involved — the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services and the Office for Civil Rights — defend the rights of children with #disabilities and those who experience #discrimination based on race, sex or religion. Advocates worry the change could mean lapses in communication for families and school officials who need help.

    "Trump, a Republican, campaigned on shutting down the Education Department, saying he would 'move education back to the states where it belongs.' While only Congress can close the department, Trump’s education secretary, #LindaMcMahon, a billionaire and former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment [#WWE], has formed agreements with other federal agencies to handle much of her department’s work."
