Trump Administration Moves Biased Civil Rights Out of Department of Education

The Trump administration is moving the investigative function of the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights to the Department of Justice. The administration believes schools should focus on academic subjects rather than lawsuits regarding pronouns.

Racism, according to Merriam-Webster, includes “the systemic oppression of a racial group to the social, economic, and political advantage of another.” By that definition, the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR), which by law could not protect Christians from religious discrimination and by practice deprioritized complaints from white students for decades, qualified as racism, funded with public monies.

On June 16, 2026, the Trump administration moved it out.

The Department of Education announced it is transferring some functions of OCR to the Department of Justice and transferring the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) to the Department of Health and Human Services. Under the interagency agreement, OCR retains management and leadership in accordance with federal law, but DOJ will take on investigations, potential resolutions, and student privacy enforcement.

Officials said the transfer “will not impact students, parents, or families,” and that anyone who believes discrimination has occurred in an education program may still file complaints with OCR.

The transfer is the latest step in the Trump administration’s effort to dismantle the Education Department, whose closure President Donald Trump has vowed but cannot execute without an act of Congress. Congress created the department and no legislation to close it has advanced, as both parties say there is not enough support.

Education Secretary Linda McMahon has instead relied on interagency agreements to transfer functions to other parts of the federal government, effectively shrinking the department’s footprint. These actions are being taken lawfully under presidential powers and do not require congressional approval.

CR’s documented record of selective enforcement begins with its jurisdiction, which covers race, color, national origin, sex, disability, and age, but not religion. By statute, Christians had no avenue through OCR to file religious discrimination complaints. Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which OCR enforces, explicitly omitted religious discrimination; an original draft of Title VI included it, and Congress removed it. Religious discrimination in public schools falls instead under Title IV, enforced by the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division, not OCR.

OCR only addressed religion only when discrimination overlapped with race or national origin, and in practice applied that narrowly to post-9/11 cases involving Arab Muslim, Sikh, and Jewish students.

Under the Biden administration, OCR directed its resources toward four primary initiatives: mandating DEI programs in schools and universities; requiring schools to allow biological males who identify as female access to girls’ bathrooms, locker rooms, and sports teams under Title IX; investigating schools over disproportionate discipline of minority students regardless of conduct, warning districts they could lose federal funding if suspension rates were racially unrepresentative even when disciplinary codes were race-neutral; and protecting race-conscious admissions programs until the Supreme Court struck them down in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard in 2023. Conservative students, straight students, and white students filed complaints during this period but were not the recipients of directed enforcement action.

On race, white students were legally eligible to file complaints but were not an enforcement priority. The Biden administration did not act on a complaint filed in August 2024 alleging the Ithaca, New York, school district excluded white students from a Students of Color Summit for four consecutive years, requiring registering students to acknowledge it was a “Student of Color ONLY event.” The Trump administration opened an investigation within days of taking office.

The Biden OCR’s historic enforcement priorities, race, gender, national origin, and disability, did not, in practice, produce a record of relief for white students filing reverse-discrimination complaints.

At the time of the transfer, OCR had already been largely gutted by the trump administration. Approximately half of OCR’s 575 staff had already been placed on paid administrative leave and closed seven of its 12 regional offices in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas, and San Francisco. A Government Accountability

The Government Accountability Office report released in February 2026 claimed that placing the employees on leave may have cost up to $38 million in salaries and benefits paid to employees who were not working from March to December 2025. While the math checks out, the cost would have been the same had they remained at work. The administrative leave strategy was not unique to OCR. Across multiple agencies, the Trump administration’s efforts to reduce the federal workforce through direct terminations were challenged in court, with Democratic lawmakers supporting the legal actions blocking the firings.

Placing employees on administrative leave became the administration’s primary tool for gutting agency operations while litigation proceeded, with termination of those employees the presumed next step once legal obstacles are resolved.

From March to September 2025, OCR received more than 9,000 discrimination complaints and dismissed roughly 90 percent of them. Critics have attributed the dismissal rate to staffing reductions. The GAO’s own data undermines that claim: OCR’s dismissal rate was already 81 percent during Trump’s first term, before any of the current staffing reductions.

The more plausible explanation is a change in enforcement standards: complaints that qualified under Biden’s definitions of discrimination, pronoun use, sex-separated bathrooms,and absence of LGBT messaging in schools, no longer meet the threshold under Trump’s revised standards and are dismissed on intake.

Critics have claimed that the Trump administration is following the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 as the blueprint for transferring civil rights enforcement to the DOJ and special education to HHS. Lindsey Burke, who authored the education chapter of Project 2025, is a senior official at the Education Department. The overlap between Project 2025’s proposals and the administration’s actions is real, but that does not prove causation. Every government official arrives with prior associations, prior employers, and prior opinions.

Rachel Gittleman, president of AFGE Local 252, the union representing Education Department employees, said the transfers will leave vulnerable students “without the services they need and without protection when they face discrimination.” “This isn’t efficiency — it’s chaos,” Gittleman added.

Gittleman’s claim is not supported by evidence. Moving OCR to the Department of Justice and OSERS to the Department of Health and Human Services cuts no one out of education. There is no evidence that enrollment in schools has dropped or that children no longer qualify for school as a result. There have also been no reported cases of “chaos.”  These are liberal talking points coming from the same people who classify the statement “there are only two genders” as violence.

To be fair, by that definition incidents of violence have probably increased, with conviction rates dropping at the same time. Meanwhile, incidents of real violence in liberal cities increased during the Biden administration while convictions dropped. Since Trump resumed office, he has been fighting multiple legal battles to deploy the National Guard and police the streets in liberal cities where violence was off the charts despite the presence of gender pronouns and pride flags.

At the same time, moving the investigative functions of the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights to the Department of Justice means that Christian parents and students will get more justice in public schools.

Warning to America: Canada Is Becoming the Muslim Brotherhood’s North American Headquarters

Canada is turning into a safe haven and operational base for the Muslim Brotherhood (Ikhwan).

While Europe is starting to push back, Canada, under Mark Carney, is actively enabling it through funding, political access, and institutional infiltration. Because of the long undefended border, this is not just Canada’s problem. It’s becoming America’s problem, too.

While Europe is finally waking up to the threat of Islam, Canada is quietly turning into a safe haven and operational hub for the Muslim Brotherhood (Ikhwan), the ideological father of Hamas and the driving force behind modern Islamic infiltration in the West.

A major new report from the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP) and recent investigative reporting paint a disturbing picture: Canada has become one of the easiest places in North America for the Brotherhood network to operate, raise money, influence politics, and spread its “civilizational jihad” strategy.

Taxpayer-Funded Infiltration

Organizations with documented ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, such as the Muslim Association of Canada (MAC), Islamic Relief Canada, and others, have received tens of millions in Canadian federal funding. These groups often present themselves as moderate charities and community organizations while maintaining ideological and sometimes financial links to the global Brotherhood network including entities tied to Hamas.

MAC, one of the largest such groups, has openly acknowledged its roots in the teachings of Muslim Brotherhood founder Hassan al-Banna. At its own events, participants have been asked what kind of future they want to build, while the words “Jew-free” appeared among the responses on screen.

Civilizational Jihad – Canadian Edition

This is classic Muslim Brotherhood strategy: long-term, patient infiltration of institutions rather than immediate terrorism.

Schools, universities, charities, politics, and even law enforcement are all targets. The goal is to gradually shift Canadian society toward sharia or Islamic norms while using democratic freedoms to undermine democracy itself.

Foreign intelligence officials have privately described Canada as a growing concern. A place where Brotherhood networks can operate with relative impunity and potentially use the long, undefended border with the United States as a back door.

Why Americans Should Be Deeply Concerned

This is not just Canada’s problem. But Because of:

• The world’s longest undefended border
• Easy cross-border movement
• Canadian Islamic groups are already attempting to influence U.S. campuses and policy

What happens in Canada increasingly affects the United States. Islamic networks can use Canada as a logistical, financial, and recruitment base to support operations south of the border. The same “Islamophobia” narrative pushed in Ottawa is exported to weaken American resolve.

While some European countries (France, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Austria) are beginning to restrict Brotherhood-linked organizations and funding, Canada, under Mark Carney, appears to be doubling down on denial, focusing on fighting critics of Islam rather than the Muslim jihadis themselves.

Time for America to Wake Up

The Muslim Brotherhood’s “civilizational jihad” is often negated by critics as being a conspiracy theory.

It must be understood that it is a documented, decades-long, established strategy, published by the Muslim Brotherhood itself, taught in countless mosques, and fully consistent with Islamic scripture and history.

Canada is proving to be fertile ground for it. Americans should treat Canada’s growing Islamic infrastructure as a national security concern, not just a friendly neighbor’s internal issue. Stronger border vigilance, monitoring of cross-border funding flows, and resistance to Canadian-style political correctness on Islamism are now necessary.

The Ikhwan (Muslim Brotherhood) is playing the long game. The question is whether the United States will tolerate Canada becoming the launchpad for the next phase of its war on Western Civilization.

President Trump Just Gutted Another Chunk Of The Department Of Education

President Trump campaigned on closing the Department of Education and handing schools back to the states.

He is now making good on it, one office at a time.

On Tuesday, his administration announced another major move that strips key functions out of the agency and sends them elsewhere in the federal government.

Washington is no longer just talking about shrinking the agency. The machinery is actually moving.

The move was quickly picked up as one of the biggest steps yet in the effort to dismantle the department.

The Associated Press described the core transfer this way:

The Department of Justice will take on enforcement of civil rights in education, while the Department of Health and Human Services will oversee special education.

That is the heart of it.

Special education oversight moves to Health and Human Services. Civil-rights enforcement in education moves to the Justice Department.

With those transfers, AP reported that the vast majority of Education Department functions have now been assigned to other agencies.

That is exactly the outcome a lot of conservatives have wanted for decades.

The federal bureaucracy shrinks, and the work goes to agencies that already exist.

The program details make clear why this is a serious move, not a symbolic one.

ABC News reported where two key offices are expected to go:

The sources told ABC News the HHS is expected to receive the Offices of Special Education Programming (OSEP) and Rehabilitative Services Administration (RSA).

ABC also reported that the transfer reaches programs connected to millions of students and families under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.

Critics will frame moving those dollars and programs as chaos.

Supporters see it differently. The money and legal protections follow the programs to their new homes.

This also follows a plan the administration laid out last year.

The U.S. Department of Education previously described the larger mission in plain language:

The Trump Administration is taking bold action to break up the federal education bureaucracy and return education to the states.

Tuesday’s move fits that frame cleanly.

Education Secretary Linda McMahon’s department keeps shedding functions while the work continues under other roofs.

The left will scream that this is reckless. The unions will scream even louder.

But President Trump told voters he would close the department and send education back to where it belongs.

This is another piece of that promise turning into policy.

BREAKING: Democrats Midterm Hopes Take MAJOR Dive!

The Democratic advantage heading into the 2026 midterms just took a major dive.

A fresh Economist/YouGov poll still shows Democrats ahead on the generic congressional ballot, but the cushion they enjoyed earlier this cycle is shrinking fast.

That is the kind of trend line that ruins a party’s year.

The margin is the story.

Democrats were sitting on a much bigger generic-ballot lead earlier in the year, according to the same polling series cited by TrendingPolitics.

Now, the latest survey has Democrats clinging to a slim edge.

The Economist/YouGov poll was conducted June 13-15, 2026, surveying 1,549 U.S. adult citizens.

Among registered voters, the Democratic candidate drew 46% and the Republican candidate drew 44%.

Among all adults, the split was 39% Democratic to 36% Republican.

A two-point gap among registered voters is not a wave. It is barely a cushion.

The YouGov tracker frames the question this way:

If an election for US Congress were being held today, who would you vote for in the district where you live?

That question is one of the cleanest early reads on which party has the national wind at its back.

Right now, that wind is not blowing the way Democrats hoped.

The previous Economist/YouGov survey, fielded June 5-8, had Democrats at 45% and Republicans at 41% among registered voters.

That four-point margin is now two points in the newest release.

TrendingPolitics flagged the broader trend, noting Democrats had been up seven points earlier this year in the same series.

That means the advantage Democrats wanted to sell as momentum has been cut down dramatically.

Republicans already control Congress. All 435 House seats and a slice of the Senate go before voters in November.

The out party usually wants to be running up a healthy lead by now.

Democrats are not.

President Trump has spent this stretch racking up wins while Democrats keep waiting for the political map to save them.

A two-point edge in June is not a blue wave.

It is a warning siren for the people hoping to take back the gavel.

Woman Pleads for American Help as France Seeks to Jail Her for Exposing Rape Threat Due to Migrant Invasion

A French woman is pleading with Americans and European patriots for help as her own government is looking to jail her for publicly exposing the dangers African and Arab immigrant men pose to women in France.

“I need your help,” said Thaïs d’Escufon in a video posted Tuesday on X, as she faces a possible six-month prison sentence and $3,500 fine.

“Tomorrow I may be sentenced to unsuspended prison for daring to say on French TV that the main danger to women in France comes from black African and Arab immigrant men, even though I was defending a woman who was herself raped by a Central African man subject to an OQTF order in the courtyard of her Paris apartment building.

“Having myself survived an attempted rape by a Tunisian migrant four years ago, I could not remain silent. But for having spoken these words on television set, the prosecutor has sought a prison sentence against me.”

D’Escufon says the prosecutor “dismissed our two stories as insignificant incidents which did not excuse my hate speech. Yet all I did was describe a reality that most French people are afraid to speak about precisely because the justice system is capable of convicting them for describing what they see with their own eyes and experience firsthand.

“This is the repression faced by people in France who speak the truth out loud. But thanks to you, I have hope ahead of the verdict which will be handed down tomorrow. Just yesterday, I was still hesitating to publish my story, thinking nobody would notice, and it has now spread beyond our borders.

“And thanks to this media pressure, the justice system may back down before trying to send me to prison instead of our attackers. Please share this message. We are no longer afraid. We are not alone. The French people are not giving in and are standing strong.”

The anti-immigrant activist also posted a link to support her cause.

In 2023, foreigners reportedly committed 77% of solved rape cases in Paris in 2023.

In 2024, the United Nations estimated 9.2 million immigrants in France, representing 13.8% of the total population, making the country number two for foreign-born population in Europe behind Germany and tied with the United Kingdom.

The situation has become particularly bad in Britain, according to the the Rape Gang Inquiry Report, which “examined the systematic targeting of vulnerable girls, overwhelmingly White British, by predominantly Muslim Pakistani gangs across towns and cities throughout the United Kingdom. The evidence put to the Inquiry confirms that this scandal constitutes one of the most horrendous failures in the history of the country.

“Organized networks of perpetrators built coordinated operations that transported victims between locations, supplied them with drugs and alcohol, recorded abuse for distribution and blackmail, and passed girls between multiple adult men.”

“The scale of the crimes committed is staggering. It has been previously established that, at the very least, 250,000 young white girls have been subjected to repeated rape, gang rape, trafficking, torture, pregnancy, forced Islamic conversion, and lifelong trauma. The true number is probably higher.”

Those who viewed d’Escufon’s plea for help had numerous comments, including:

“What a woman. This is the face of true bravery, we all stand with you.”

“The French right is notably silent as usual, cowards all.”

“The rule of law which our ancestors fought bloody wars to secure our safety and sovereignty that still exists is now being used against the people of our nations who put trust in these men and women. In our nations these vampires decimate us not recognizing GOD is all-seeing.”

“The authorities in your country will not help you in any way. France is part of the caliphate and there is no justice except for those of the Muslim faith. As a woman, you have no rights per Islam. Your authorities are cowards and traitors and til they are dealt with, regular people have no rights.”

“Rational Human Beings: ‘Wolves are a greater threat to the sheep than border collies.’ Western Governments: ‘That’s hate speech, you’re going to jail!’ There has never been a more apt time in history for all descendants of Europe to unite in revolt.”

“You should come to the U.S. … freedom of speech is still observed in Red (Republican) states. We welcome you.”

California Democrats have pulled off a trifecta of political infamy

Well done, California Democrats.

We weren’t sure you could do it, but you came through.

In just one primary election you managed to pull off a rare trifecta of political infamy for the Golden State: the embarrassment of a vote-counting system that takes so long it would have looked obsolete in colonial Virginia; the shame of an election process that invites deep suspicion about the integrity of the democratic order at a time of historically low public trust; and the misery of an outcome that just about guarantees the same misrule by the same people responsible for the dysfunction and chaos that is steadily bleeding the state dry. 

Last month, Gavin Newsom issued a call to election officials across the state. “We must continue building confidence in our elections and ensure that not only every vote is counted but every vote is trusted,” he wrote, hailing new rules and procedures that were supposed to speed up the vote counting. 

“We must continue building confidence in our elections and ensure that not only every vote is counted but every vote is trusted,” Gov. Gavin Newsom said last month.

Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton was right to say that “the world is laughing” at California’s snail-paced ballot counting, but for Californians, it’s no laughing matter. 

How’s that working out for you?

The state that is home to companies whose technologies can perform the most complex tasks in nanoseconds was still counting votes a week after the polls closed.

To Gov. Newsom and his party, this is progress. To the rest of the planet, it just looks like a joke.  

Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton was right to say that “the world is laughing” at California’s snail-paced ballot counting, but for Californians, it’s no laughing matter. 

By midnight in Florida on election night, almost all the votes are counted and results declared. In California, they’re barely getting started. 

For a state already losing the reputation battle to more dynamic, nimbler rivals, the electoral shambles is more evidence that California is failing. 

But it’s not just embarrassing. It undermines faith in democracy itself.

There’s no hard evidence of widespread fraud in this month’s primary, but the way California conducts its election seems almost designed to undermine public trust in the process.

The manner in which Los Angeles mayoral candidate Nithya Rahman steadily overtook Spencer Pratt’s solid lead days after the initial vote count may just about be explicable by the disproportionately high number of Democrats who mail in their ballots –– and whose votes are counted late.

But it had a distinct throwback quality to the days when Democratic machines in American cities would hold back their vote counts until they new exactly how many their candidate “needed” to pull ahead. 

In classic California fashion, the panoply of rules supposedly designed to make ballots fairer and more trusted have the opposite effect: allowing seven days for mailed-in ballots to arrive; elaborate signature verification processes; forms of identity with laughably weak security like gym memberships, ballot harvesting and great dumps of votes garnered by partisan activists. 

No wonder trust in the process is slumping. 

But worse than the process of this year’s primary election, of course, is the seemingly inevitable result it produced once again. 

In LA, Pratt’s defeat and the prospect of a runoff between two Democrats is not only a depressing reminder of the rancid stagnation you get when one party has virtually unaccountable control. 

It’s another indictment of the way in which the state picks its leaders. 

The jungle primary model was supposed to benefit moderate candidates in both parties by encouraging them to seek voters across the political spectrum. Instead, it more often deprives voters of real choice.  

Instead of separate party primaries which produce two candidates who then offer genuinely competing platforms in the general election –– when more people vote –– we have a system that frequently eliminates true choice.  

Karen Bass and Raman now face no restraining alternative from the other side of the political spectrum.

For a city that has been ravaged by homelessness, crime, failed public responses to emergencies and chronically poor educational opportunities, this is a travesty: The answer to four-plus years of mismanagement is an invitation to choose between the candidate who’s been responsible for it with ruinous Democratic policies, or the candidate offering to outflank her with Democratic policies guaranteed to be more ruinous.

At the state level, at least the jungle primary produced a general election contest with a real choice. Thanks to Republican voters consolidating behind Hilton, he gets to go head to head against quintessential establishment Democrat Xavier Becerra. 

At least Hilton has an opportunity to lay out the promise of a turn away from the endless, vicious vortex of tax and spend policies that have harmed the state’s economy and driven wealthy creators away while doing nothing to improve public services. 

If you want a look at what more Democratic rule would mean, just take a glance at Measure ER in LA County, which as of this writing is ahead. It’s yet another tax increase –– this one a sales tax surcharge supposedly to fund health care but which seems certain to cause only more pain to hard-pressed consumers.

That’s quite a trifecta, Democrats. While you’re celebrating, California is 0-for-3.
