'Give your girlfriend a hickey, get expelled.

The fact that this outlandish scenario is the subject of a federal lawsuit shows what’s wrong with the federal Office for Civil Rights (OCR), according to a new petition to Congress.

The petition asks the leaders of the Senate committee that oversees the Department of Education to “rein in” its civil-rights unit, whose guidance documents for the past several years have forced colleges to treat subjectively offensive speech as sexual harassment and eliminate due process for accused students.'
