Founded by Washington, its status was solidified by Truman and Hoover, and these relationships gained official legitimacy under Nixon’s presidency, wherein he ordained Executive Order 11456.

Dr. Castro then mentioned a few things about Mr. Brooks stating that he is a columnist for the New York Times and an analyst for the PBS “News Hour” and NPR’s “All Things Considered.” Dr. Brooks also teaches at Yale University, one the finest university in the country.

Inclusion is the educational practice of educating children with disabilities in the classroom with children without disabilities.
