Dept. of Ed considering narrowing scope of civil rights work

Great idea, perhaps schools can get back to really educating rather than wasting money on pushing a hidden or not-so-hidden agenda.
Under the Obama administration, when a student complained of discrimination in a particular class or school, the education agency would examine the case but also look at whether the incident was part of a broader, systemic problem that needs to be fixed.
Proposed revisions to the department’s civil rights procedures, distributed last week among civil rights officials at the department, remove the word “systemic” from the guidelines.
The changes also would allow schools a greater say in how a case is handled, compared to the student or parent who filed the complaint, and would eliminate the appeals process.
The action comes as the Trump administration looks for ways of streamlining the work and trimming the budgets of many federal agencies. The administration has called for a $9 billion, or 13.5 percent, cut to the education budget, which would mean the loss of more than 40 employees out of about 570 at the agency’s Office for Civil Rights.

Good.
The “systemic” bullshite just lead school systems to underpunish certain groups so they wouldn’t have to justify why X group was in trouble more than Y or Z group.
I don’t care if Thai Buddhist transsexuals have a higher incidence of suspensions than any other group in a school system. Treat the kid as an individual rather than as a group.

How can a kid learn anything if he’s being oppressed?!?!

Glad this is happening, poor word choice in the title. I would have stated "civil rights investigations", because my first thought was going back to the civil rights era (Rosa Parks, etc) reading the article's title.
I guess character limit got in the way?

The irony of all these educational problems is that that even if you relief a few civil rights cases it won't change anything.
Public schools rely on numbers for funding. Private schools love conservatives like you because it keeps them in business for (mostly) a similar quality of education.
I agree that people should be punished as an individual. I also agree that ANY system requires checks and balances.
This board would be better off to remember that whatever the GOP passes can always be used against them. What if several cases pop up against misbehaving white youths

It's laughable that you are equating the quality of a public school education to that of one in a private school. After that assertion, the rest of your argument has not foundation to stand on.

Depends on the nature of the "misbehaving" doesn't it??

Well does happen rarely. However, what happens far more often are false racist allegations perpetrated by a minority:

My fair lady, it depends entirely on the private school.
The issue is that most of these make you pay for preference, not necessarily education.
Multiple charter or private schools have a religious focus. The religious focus or in group preference is what they are selling.
This doesn't stop them from having qualified staff if they are good schools. However, some of them focus more so on the religious aspect rather than the "facts" of education. If you catch my drift.

Just food for thought.... Oh and Happy Thanksgiving
