What the document says

“OCR should move to the Department of Justice.”

The chapter says the federal government has an essential responsibility to enforce civil rights protections but should do so through the Justice Department and the federal courts, and that the office once moved should be able to enforce only through litigation rather than administratively.

What the document actually says

“OCR should move to the Department of Justice.”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 330
That sentence, in plain words

This office should move to the Justice Department.

What this is about

One office handles school discrimination cases. The book says it should move. It would then have to go to court to act.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to read this page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the book itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
