President Obama’s legacy lives on and continues to thrive under the Trump administration and Republican lawmakers.

Mia Karvonides
The White House and Congress, which ostensibly want to undo the expansive regulatory framework of a Democratic administration, are doing nothing as its Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) expands its longstanding mission of blackmailing colleges into judging all accused students guilty of rape.

Brooklyn College Prof. KC Johnson, co-author of The Campus Rape Frenzy, writes at Minding the Campus that OCR is amassing enormous power for itself without so much as a peep from the White House.

Don’t be fooled by the “skinny budget” request by the Trump administration for the department as a whole, which doesn’t address OCR, says Johnson.

An OCR leader hired three days before Donald Trump’s inauguration is now enforcing its lawless diktats, former Harvard Title IX coordinator Mia Karvonides, who is a “true believer” in Johnson’s words:

The slowness with which Trump has filled executive appointments has maximized the power of Obama holdovers. … Karvondes’ rushed appointment leaves the impression that the outgoing administration intended to maintain the unfair Obama rules regardless of what Trump did. Every day that passes without Trump staffers in OCR allows Karvonides to implement her agenda unchecked.

The rogue office also continues to impose “voluntary” resolutions on schools under Title IX investigation, meaning they won’t be affected by any Trump reversal, and on its way out the door, the Obama administration sought funding for 157 new OCR staff investigators.

That’s because OCR’s years of encouraging students to file Title IX complaints had produced a bumper crop of sexual-violence allegations – and they aren’t just going to be investigated case-by-case.

Johnson cites a recent BuzzFeed article that says the recently departed OCR chief – now the chair of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights – secretly changed its protocol:

When Catherine Lhamon ran OCR under Obama, she expanded all Title IX sexual violence investigations to become institution-wide, so investigators reviewed all cases at a school rather than just the cases that sparked federal complaints, former Education Department officials told BuzzFeed News.

Here’s what this means, according to Johnson:

[Lhamon] had decided OCR would investigate not merely the complaints it received but thousands of other cases, even though no accuser had filed a Title IX complaint about any of these individual cases. On this matter, as on virtually all OCR-related matters during the Obama years, no sign of congressional oversight existed.

The next step is for the Justice Department under Attorney General Jeff Sessions to show it’s consistent about reining in Title IX abuse, and refuse to defend OCR’s 2011 and 2014 “Dear Colleague” letters that junked due process for accused students.

But more importantly, Congress needs to wake up and use “the power of the purse” to stop OCR’s vast agenda in the Trump administration, Johnson says.

This is getting old. Real old real fast. We need to get in touch with the right people. We've got to shove this in the face of the Republican leadership. That is why we contact the Speaker of the House Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. Senators James Lankford and Lamar Alexander are not to friendly to this bullshit either so we write them as well. Let's also contact President Trump and let him know too. The more of us they hear from the better. We helped to get rid of Cantherine Lhamon now let's get rid of Mia Karvondes and Dear Colleague.

Get justice for Jeremiah Dewey

Justice for Jeremiah Dewey, take him out of Prison. Give him another Trial in a unbiased court that is not prejudiced against him like the one in Presque Isle County Michigan.

Donald Dewey
Rogers City, MI

In 2005 someone made an annonymous complaint that my seven year old grand daughter might be being sexually molested. The Michigan State Police and CPS started investigations. Brittney was given a complete medical examination and no sexual abuse was found. The school that she attended did not observe or report any sexual abuse. The day care facility that she attended did not observe or report any sexual abuse. The mandated home health care workers working in my home did not observe or report any sexual abuse. Brittney said no one was sexually touching her. The cases were closed. Late in 2005 Brittney, her mother, and brother all moved back to Washington State. In 2006 Storm and Joshua moved back to Michigan. In 2011 Brittney moved back to Michigan.

On March 21, 2013 a new sexual abuse complaint came in against my son. The Family court Judge, Prosecuting Attorney, and the Detective involved in this case should have been recussed for a conflict of interest. A lot of character assassination was going on against the entire Dewey family. The Judge allowed DHS Foster Care worker to lie and commit perjury in this case. Our family was falsely accused of stealing money from our handicapped younger son resulting in opening and closing an investigation because of no evidence to support this unethical charge from the Prosecuting Attorney. We were accused of interfering with the removal of the kids from our house. We were accused of visiting the kids at school in violation of the no contact order. Family visits were not accurately reported or recorded by DHS. Back ground information provided by DHS to the medical people was not accurate. DHS worker was encouraged by the family court Judge to lie or committ perjury in the court room. These lies and perjury were not properly addressed by the court when notified. The Judge falsely and with out evidence called my son a predatory pedophile in open court. The court appointed Attorney representing my son would not allow him a jury trial. He would only represent my son for a plea agreement. This Judge also accused my wife of perjury to cover up this crime for our son.

My son was denied a jury trial in family court by the Judge, Prosecuting Attorney, and his own court appoint Attorney. This case is nothing except he said, she said. No physical evidence of any kind. All of the written documentation was not allowed in the court. Coaching was used through out this entire case.

The well know Detective in this case was allowed by the court to give hear say evidence with no proof in contrast to the Testimony given by the actual Michigan State Police Officer who did the investigation. He also did not interview all of the witnesses in this case. He was allowed to hand pick the jurist from his own small town.

The Prosecuting Attorney lied and committed perjury in this case. He attempted to force my son to take a plea agreement by adding additional charges using his three year old daughter against him with no proof. He committed Prosecutorial misconduct, unethical behaviors, Brady violations, to win this case of retaliatory action against the Dewey family.

Through the use of hand picked Juries, Jeremiah was found guilty of five counts CSC 1st degree over an nine year period of time. Four of the charges were never given any actual dates from 2005. He was sentenced twenty five to forty years. They had also used a lawsuit we filed and won to add extra time in his case. Proof of their Vendetta against us.

This Prosecuting Attorney in now personally involved in four Law suits against Presque Isle county Michigan for his Constitutional Rights violations. If you have no evidence to prove a crime has been committed it shoul be illegal to use rape shield laws to hid evidence that prove you are innocent.

I would like to see someone look at this case who has no vested interest in the out come of it. I would like to have them see all of the evidence not just selected parts of it. I would like all of the witnesses to be allowed to tell what they know about this entire case. I would like to see the Foster care worker from DHS, and the two foster care mothers take a polygraph test for the coaching that went on in this case.
