Govt Forces School To Take Down Privately Funded New Baseball Bleachers Because They Weren’t ‘Fair’
PLYMOUTH, Mich. (WJBK) - A new set of seating is being torn down outside the Plymouth Wildcats varsity boys' baseball field, not long before the season begins, because the fields for boys' and girls' athletics must be equal.
A group of parents raised money for a raised seating deck by the field, as it was hard to see the games through a chain-link fence. The parents even did the installation themselves, and also paid for a new scoreboard.

United States Educational Office for Civil Rights:
The mission of the Office for Civil Rights is to ensure equal access to education and to promote educational excellence throughout the nation through [[[vigorous enforcement of civil rights]]].
*=* WHO'S *=*
We serve student populations facing discrimination and the advocates and institutions promoting systemic solutions to civil rights problems. An important responsibility is resolving complaints of discrimination. Agency-initiated cases, typically called compliance reviews, permit OCR to target resources on compliance problems that appear particularly acute. OCR also provides technical assistance to help institutions achieve voluntary compliance with the civil rights laws that OCR enforces. An important part of OCR's technical assistance is partnerships designed to develop creative approaches to preventing and addressing discrimination.
Same as Common Core is it your opinion the federal government is sticking it's nose 'in' where it doesn't belong?
