The IRS Does Not Need a ‘Civil Rights Office’

So it’s a good thing that 75% of the IRS Office of Civil Rights and Compliance is being cut.

Every federal agency has its own ‘civil rights’ or ‘equity’ office these days, usually more than one, that exists to employ radical activists and poison the organization with DEI while being wielded against any kind of dissent inside and outside the organization.

So it’s a good thing that 75% of the IRS Office of Civil Rights and Compliance is being cut.

The IRS does not need a civil rights office. Nor does any other branch of the government. The civil rights abuses by the IRS are rarely ‘discriminatory’ in the sense that they target people for their race, and while the IRS would benefit from general oversight over abuses, it’s a government bureaucracy, not Alabama in the 1950s, and if there is to be oversight, it needs to come from outside the agency, not from inside it.

The same is true for other federal agencies.
