| Education Dept's Overreaching Office of Civil Rights Fears the End Is Near |
| 2016-12-12 |
| h/t Instapundit The Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights may not last long in Trump's America, its employees and advocates fear. The transition's stated intention to "streamline the department," coupled with a stated goal to overturn Obama-era executive overreaches, spells trouble for the department's small but active office. ...In nearly eight years under the Obama administration, celebrants recounted, the office has issued 34 "policy guidance documents." These are edicts reinterpreting existing laws--new executive entanglements, made mandatory by funding incentives, that also serve a moral imperative. ...They've closed 66,000 investigations, every one of them initiated to bring a school or college in line with OCR's federal mandates. Among these are the 2011 guidance concerning campus sexual assault; a more recent and no less controversial guidance to clarify that gender segregation is discriminatory; and a racial equity check on disciplinary practices that has, in some cases, been linked to increased violence in schools. But in the minds and hearts of those who've carried them out, OCR's goals guided the nation toward the light of righteousness and salvation. There is no higher aim than theirs: to show every child the federal government believes in his or her ability to succeed. The message of federally-ordained disciplinary reforms is, in Secretary King's words, "We love you and we want you to be successful." |

| #6 Dept of Education is not only cabinet department with offices that impose this kind of stuff. Most of them (maybe all of them) have such offices - as well as liaisons deeper in the civil service. |
