Extractions: Alexis de Tocqueville Institution March 17, 2003 There is a national epidemic of children, especially minority children, being classified as special-education students. This is not the result of a dramatic rise in the number of children with physical or emotional disabilities, which has remained fairly steady for the last three decades. Rather it is the increase of those labeled with specific learning disabilities that is fueling this epidemic. It is troubling, not because these students have legitimate disabilities, but because many of them dont. According to Kirk A. Johnson, Ph.D., evidence of rampant subjective diagnosis is abundant. Last year, a report by the Presidents Commission on Special Education estimated that some 80 percent of students assigned to special-education programs as a result of a severe learning disability were assigned simply because they havent learned how to read. Kirk A. Johnson, Ph.D. is the Weinberg Fellow in statistical policy research at the Heritage Foundation and former director of education policy at the Mackinac Center for Public Policy.
