070725 Restore DOE Civil Rights
The Department of Education is supposed to protect students' civil rights — but right now, it’s failing.
Here’s what’s happening:
The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) investigates discrimination and enforces students' rights in schools
Trump gutted this office, making it harder to fight discrimination based on race, gender, disability, and more
Congress still hasn’t restored critical funding or staffing to this office — leaving millions of students vulnerable
IEvery student deserves to feel safe and protected at school. But without a fully funded Office for Civil Rights, those protections mean nothing. There’s still time to act.
Tell Congress: Restore the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights and protect students from discrimination.
In solidarity,
