I have no idea. I don't know the particulars of the articles you have seen nor have I seen any.

On second thought the only angry parent articles I have seen revolve around the talented and gifted programs but then I am not looking for them either.

I just have to refer to the public law 94-142 and IDEA again. Every child has the right to be in a classroom with their non disabled peers.

Eligibility for services

Having a disability does not automatically qualify a student for special education services under the IDEA. IDEA defines a "child with a disability" as a child . . . with mental retardation, hearing impairments (including deafness), speech or language impairments, visual impairments (including blindness), serious emotional disturbance . . ., orthopedic impairments, autism, traumatic brain injury, other health impairments, or specific learning disabilities; AND, who . . . [because of the condition] needs special education and related services."[7] Children with disabilities who qualify for special education are also automatically protected by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). However, all modifications that can be provided under Section 504 or the ADA can be provided under the IDEA if included in the student's IEP.
Students with disabilities who do not qualify for special education services under the IDEA may qualify for accommodations or modifications under Section 504 and under the ADA. Their rights are protected by due process procedure requirements.

The best way to fight is to be familiar with the law and the resources and procedures to work within that law.
