The Supreme Court ruled unanimously on March 21 that a deaf former student who accuses a Michigan public school system of failing to properly educate him may move forward with his discrimination lawsuit.

The decision comes as parents nationwide have become increasingly protective of the rights of their children and are taking legal action and demanding accountability from government officials.
