Disability Rights Center of Kansas

Disability rights should not be up for debate!

We appreciate Attorney General Kobach's decision to withdraw Kansas from the lawsuit threatening Section 504, the cornerstone federal law that protects people with disabilities and seniors from discrimination. But Kansas dropping out of the case doesn't alleviate the danger it poses.

The lawsuit started with 17 states. Only six remain.

Attorney General Kris Kobach: Thank you for doing the right thing for Kansans with disabilities. We urge you to encourage your colleagues in Texas, Alaska, Florida, Louisiana, Missouri, and Montana to follow Kansas' lead and withdraw as well.
