Department of Education  \n42nd Annual Report to Congress on the Implementation of the  \nIndividuals with Disabilities Education Act, 2020  \nDiscrimination Prohibited  \nIn addition to implementing the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, the U.S. Department of Education’s (Department) Office for Civil Rights (OCR) is responsible for enforcing several Federal civil rights laws. These Federal civil rights laws prohibit discrimination in programs or activities that receive Federal financial assistance from the Department. Discrimination on the basis of race, color, and national origin is prohibited by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; sex discrimination in any education program or activity is prohibited by Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972; discrimination on the basis of disability is prohibited by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973; and age discrimination is prohibited by the Age Discrimination Act of 1975. Additionally, Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 prohibits disability discrimination by public entities, whether or not they receive Federal financial assistance from the Department. Also, the Boy Scouts of America Equal Access Act provides that no public elementary school or State or local education agency that provides an opportunity for one or more outside youth or community groups to meet on school premises or in school facilities before or after school hours shall deny equal access or a fair opportunity to meet to, or discriminate against, any group officially affiliated with the Boy Scouts of America or anyother youth group listed in Title 36 of the United States Code as a patriotic society.  \nFor more information, please see OCR’s website at [https://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/](https://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/) .  \n42nd Annual Report to Congress on the  \nImplementation of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, 2020  \nIndividuals with Disabilities Education Act: to ensure the free appropriate public education of all children with disabilities  \nOffice of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services  \nU.S. Department of Education  \nThis report was produced under U.S. Department of Education Contract No. ED-OSE-17-O-0021 with New Editions Consulting, Inc.
