How to file an education complaint with the Department of Education Office of Civil Rights

The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) enforces five federal civil rights laws that prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, disability and age in programs or activities that receive federal financial assistance from the Department of Education (ED). Discrimination on the bases of race, color and national origin is prohibited by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; sex discrimination is prohibited by Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972; discrimination on the basis of disability is prohibited by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (Title II prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability by public entities, whether or not they receive federal financial assistance); and age discrimination is prohibited by the Age Discrimination Act of 1975.

I’ve been browsing online more than 3 hours lately, yet I by no means discovered any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth sufficient for me. Personally, if all web owners and bloggers made excellent content as you did, the web will be much more helpful than ever before.

Please contact me at this e-mail. I would like to file a lawsuit against Atascoita High School Humble school district for sexual violation and racial slurs, and retaliation towards my son, stemming from a September incidene where my son was violated while in a dressing room before a football game. The school or the district have done nothing in regards to this matter, and the student who is white is still on campus. I would greatly appreciate you to look in to this.

Thanks,
Mr. Arthur Carter

Family farms and small businesses would be the backbone of our own communities.
To command is usually to serve, no more and absolutely nothing less.

Want to complain about high school softball game where team mates on opposite team screamed racial remarks to only black member of opposite team! School officals could hear it and did nothing so it continued the entire game. Girls Softball.
