 * Distinguish between the Act and the regulations adopted thereunder and state statutes and regulations adopted for the purposes of obtaining funding
 * Add references to coverage of the debates in those states that have considered rejecting IDEA funding
 * Cover the attempt by DOE to force legislatures to amend state statutes because a state executive accepted federal IDEA funding.
 * Correct the statement at the beginning of the article that states, "The IDEA is considered to be a civil rights law. However, states are not required to participate. As an incentive and to assist states in complying with its requirements, IDEA makes funds available to states that adopt at least the minimum policies and procedures specified in the IDEA regarding the education of children with disabilities." The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), while a civil rights law, requires public schools to make available to all eligible children with disabilities a free appropriate public education in the least restrictive environment appropriate to their individual needs. The state is provided an incentive per federal funding; however, the federal courts will still enforce this law as they will any other federal civil rights law.
