It speculates that a primary reason why Indian students continue to suffer higher dropout rates and lower achievement is because a "dissonance" exists between American Indian culture and the culture of our public schools system. It suggests that certain kinds of teaching methods and school reform strategies are more "culturally congruent" with traditional tribal teaching practices and therefore should be considered for adoption among public schools serving Indian student populations.

Discrimination in Special Education Background The IDEA: The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) guarantees all students "free and appropriate" public education (FAPE). IDEA protects the rights of children with disabilities, including: mental retardation; speech or language impairments; serious emotional disturbance; autism; specific learning disabilities and other health impairments. National Trends Overrepresentation and Segregation: What Does the Law Say? Complaints About Racial and National Origin Discrimination in Special Education: Filing OCR Complaints: A complaint of discrimination can be filed by anyone, or any organization, believing that an education institution that receives federal financial assistance has discriminated against someone on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex , disability, or age. OCR has jurisdiction for Title VI, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. OCR complaints must be in writing, cannot be anonymous, and must request intervention. Generally, complaints must be filed within 180 days of the last act of alleged discrimination, although a waiver may be granted. OCR does not have jurisdiction for IDEA complaints.
