“I came to complete not to refute. I came light to the World." Jesus Christ
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT: THE PARABLE TO A JUSTICE SYSTEM
To The Honorable Court:
a.
And the disciples came and said to him, Master why do you speak in parables
whenever crowds are near. And Jesus answered, the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of
God has been given to you but to others it comes by means of parables, so they may look but not
see, and listen but not understand [Mathew 13]. i
b.
Jesus Christ answered; this is what the parables means. The seed is the Words of
God. (1) The seed that fell along the path stand for those who hear but the devil comes and takes
away the message from their hearts in order to keep them from believing and being saved. (2)
The seed that fell on rocky grounds stands for those who hear the message and receive it gladly,
but they have no root. They believe only for a while, but when time of testing comes, they fall
away. (3) The seeds that fell among thorn stands for those who hear but the worries, and riches,
and the pleasures of this life crowd in and shock them and their fruits never rips. (4) And the
seed that fell in a good soil stands for those who hear the message and retained it in a good and
obedient heart and they persist until they bear fruit.2
c.
No one lights a lamp and covers it with a bowl. Instead, they put it on a stand, so
that those who come in can see the light. Whatever is hidden away will be brought out into the
open, and whatever will be covered up will be found and brought out to light. Therefore take
heed how you hear. For whoever has, to him more will be given; and whoever does not have,
even what he seems to have will be taken from him [Luke 8:16-18].3
d.
To the Honorable Court, these are not just pure words but the parable to the
World we live in.4 And with that, let me seek justice within the walls of this Court in order to
reform the Department of Education because after more than 5 years channeling the hearts of
various mighty proud Jewish-Israeli lobby who gained control within the federal government
such as Kenneth Marcus; stubbornness persisted because no one told them to stop, and they

“/ came to complete not to refute. I came light to the World." Jesus Christ
couldn’t reform on their own because they took pride in their own strength; power that was given
to them from above.5 With God’s help, a single Coptic “Blessed is Egypt my people” [Isaiah
19:25] brought to the middle-east, the Abraham Accord when the ears listened in order to learn
about the Children of Abraham.6
But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has
chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the
base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the
things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, that no flesh should glory in
his presence [1 Corinthians 1:27-29].7
I. INTRODUCTION
1.
The Office for Civil Rights (“OCR”) within the U.S. Department of Education
(“DOE”) has a special mission: “to ensure equal access to education and to promote educational
excellence through vigorous enforcement of civil rights in our nation’s schools.”
https://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/aboutocr.html. This office serves “student populations
facing discrimination and the advocates and institutions promoting systemic solutions to civil
rights problems.” Id. In fact, Secretary Miguel Cardona takes pride in promoting an agenda to be
a pioneer for “Equity” rather than “Equality.”8 Yet, the reality is nothing more than a PR even
when he advocates for “Equity”; words are one thing but action is another.
2.
To fulfill its mission, OCR notes that “an important responsibility is resolving
complaints of discrimination.” Id. Complaints of discrimination can be filed by anyone who
believes that an educational institution that receives federal financial assistance has discriminated
against someone on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, disability, or age. The victim

himself does not need to file - instead, an advocate or organization can file on an individual’s
behalf or on behalf of a group. The ability to file a complaint and have it thoroughly reviewed is
integral to the mission of the OCR.
3.
Indeed, some claims under the statutes enforced by DOE’s OCR, such as those
alleging disparate impact discrimination, can only be enforced by the federal government.
Alexander v. Sandoval, 532 U.S. 275 (2001) (finding that implementing regulation of Title VI of
the Civil Rights Act of 1964 regarding disparate impact discrimination is only enforceable by the
federal funding agencies).
4.
Contrary to its mission and without any public notice, DOE summarily eliminated
substantive rights of the very people it purports to serve by changing its Case Processing Manual
to abdicate its basic duty to investigate legitimate complaints of discrimination by students and
their parents.
5.
Effective March 5, 2018, the DOE amended the U.S. Department of Education
Office for Civil Rights Case Processing Manual (“2018 OCR Manual”). The changes include
new provisions to require mandatory dismissal of certain complaints and the elimination of the
appeal rights of complainants.
6.
This was under Trump’s Cabinet members Kenneth Marcus and Betsy DeVos
leadership. Kenneth Marcus stance was “We Are Law Enforcement Officials, Not ... Social
Justice People.”9 Yet, Kenneth Marcus himself tried to be the social justice warrior when he
infiltrated the Federal Government by adopting the IHRA definition without congress intent
when he personally ruled on Zoa’s appeal without the knowledge of higher ups at OCR.10 At that
time, the Department of Education under Secretary Betsy DeVos released a statement — The
Department has not adopted a definition of anti-Semitism, Hill said via e-mail.11

7.
After a public uproar, OCR backtracked by amending their manual and re-opened
all dismissed complaints; see copy of the settlement.12 However, again without any public notice,
discussion, and public comment on the regulation in the Federal Register, Office for Civil Rights
has done two things to the manual under both the Trump’s and the Biden’s leaderships.
(A) Weakening the appeal process by limiting the appeal to 10 page double spaces with
no time frame provided to rule on the appeal, and without mentioning who rules on the
appeal. The appeal procedure is written in a way which makes the appeal process a never
independent process but rather it relays on pleasing the Masters who rules over a federal
building i.e., Office For Civil Rights; here due process was denied again for many; and
(B) Without any public notice or comments, or even congress adopting such definition,
Office for Civil Rights through Kenneth Marcus adopted the IHRA definition, a
definition that makes the Jewish people superior in every way compare to the Gentiles.13
8.
By secretly adopting the IHRA definition with the stroke of a pen, without
congress’ intent or public notice and comments in the Federal Register.14 The Jewish lobby by
and through Kenneth Marcus with intent and malice taught America something very dangerous
i.e., we are all not created equal and not created on the image of God [Genesis 5:1].15
9.
The same mistake the Jewish people did 2000 years ago when they set aside the
children of Abraham i.e., Ishmael and Isaac.16 The result was the birth of Islam. See to Exhibit A
page 31-36, (BAHIRA: THE CHRISTIAN MONK, THE TRUE FATHER OF MUHAMMAD).
The result of separating the children of Abraham (Ishmael & Isaac) is seen to the naked eyes in
the Arab culture throughout their movies and culture; see Exhibit A pages 86-87.17
10.
The result of the IHRA definition is that it never brings protection or blessings to
the Jewish people but rather hate and destruction because when a Jewish person commits

wickedness against a non-Jewish person; he or she is still protected under the banner of the
IHRA definition rendering Title VI worthless; see Exhibit A pages 88-95; see also Exhibit G
pages 124-126; and see Exhibit G pages 231-233 (his path as a Jew led him to Jesus).
11.
The IHRA definition has a far more overreaching implication when a Federal
Court reviews the definition one item at a time. It calls for supremacy, power, censorship, and
control in a very deceptive manner; something that is already being discussed among the public
when it comes to who are the top richest people in the world who didn’t pay their fair share of
taxes, the answer is and was the Jewish Oligarch according to Pro Publica and Forbes World’s
Billionaires List; see Exhibit G pages 169-203.18
12.
A clear example of this scenario was Plaintiffs journey in the law school he
attended “Florida Coastal School of Law” and how Office for Civil Rights tried to destroy
Plaintiffs case more than once across a span of 3+ years until the closure of the law school in
recent days in order to try to render Plaintiffs civil right complaint moot; all because the
involved individuals who did evil were Jews; see Exhibit G pages 127-136 (The case of a
Coptic).
13.
It was too difficult for OCR to politically say Jews discriminated and/or retaliated
against a Coptic student. They couldn’t define good vs. evil in simple terms; rather they
perverted everything by calling evil-good and good-evil. It was also too difficult for OCR to also
reach a resolution with a stubborn recipient i.e., Florida Coastal School of Law. And it was also
too difficult for Office for Civil Rights to follow their own adopted manual and enforce it equally
and fairly. Rather, OCR corrupted itself by itself and treated students differently based on their,
race and identities; the adoption of IHRA destroyed title VI.
14.
For the Department of Education senior leadership they aimed at getting rid of the
issue all at once; hitting two birds with one stone by getting rid of Plaintiff s complaint by any
means possible as they tried across the span of the past 4 years, and shutting down Florida
Coastal School of law for good to render the Plaintiffs complaint moot, among DOE holding

FCSL accountable for deception and fraud which was also the result of Plaintiffs initial
complaint back in May 23,2016 to Secretary John King.
15.
After Plaintiffs first letter to President Biden and the Department of Education
senior leadership, on that same day, Federal Student Aid denied Florida Coastal School of Law
access to title IV funds leading it to its closure; see Exhibit G pages 127 - 133.
16.
In return, Florida Coastal School of Law thought to have its way with the
Department of Education just like they did when they lawsuit the American Bar Association to
be placed back in good standing and they were put back in good standing.19 Just like ABA,
FCSL also lawsuit the Department of Education under the APA seeking a judicial review of their
denied Title IV privilege; Case 3:21-cv-00721.20 The result of the lawsuit was different as Judge
Howard denied FCSL sought relief and the last remaining law school of Infilaw’s empire went
into closure.21 Florida Coastal won’t permanently close until 2023 when its admitted class of
students graduate; there is still a chance for OCR to right the wrongs of their wrongdoings with
the recipient i.e., Florida Coastal School of Law; the case is not moot yet.
17.
Plaintiff further contends that Office of Inspector General (OIG) in their recent
May 11,2021 audit report reported that Office for Civil Rights (OCR) is not in compliance when
it leaves recipient in non-compliance; finding the following on page 33.22
Dismissing complaints where investigations have been completed and/or are in resolution
wastes time and effort spent by OCR staff investigating and working with those
recipients, and identified issues that were in the process of being resolved may be left
unresolved and the recipient may remain in noncompliance.
18.
Defendant’s constant modification to the OCR manual without a public notice in
the federal register and comments provided by the public, and to secretly adopt the IHRA
definition without congress’s intent have lead to the destruction of the civil right act.

19.
Because these changes violate the federal Administrative Procedure Act (“APA”),
5 U.S.C. Chapter 5, §§ 551, et seq., and are contrary to OCR’s mission, Plaintiff, on his own
behalf and on behalf of other members who are or may be victims of discrimination in the
education system, ask this honorable Court (1) to declare the amendments to the August 26, 2020
OCR Manual in violation of the law23, (2) to declare that the adoption of the IHRA definition by
OCR is unconstitutional24, (3) to enjoin Defendants from enforcing these new provisions of the
August 26, 2020 OCR Manual, and (4) to set aside the changes; and (5) to seek a judicial review
when possible of OCR clear discriminatory and retaliatory behaviors concerning Plaintiffs civil
right complaint and the violations to OCR manual (who watches the watchmen?).
II. PARTIES & JURISDICTION
20.
Plaintiff, Mark Bochra, on his own behalf and on behalf of other members have
been or are being injured by the Defendants’ failure to comply with the requirements of Chapter
5 of the Federal APA.
21.
Plaintiff on his own behalf and behalf of other members have suffered, and
continued to experience injustice by Office for Civil Rights failure to ensure equal access to
education when recipients of federal financial assistance are in violation of federal civil rights
law.
22.
Plaintiff on his own behalf and behalf of other members bring this suit on behalf
of himself and other similarly situated members.
23.
Defendants are the U.S. Department of Education (“DOE”), current U.S.
Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona, and Suzanne Goldberg, Acting Assistant Secretary for
Civil Rights. Mr. Cardona and Ms. Goldberg are sued in their official capacities.
24.
As the U.S. Secretary of Education, Miguel Cardona is responsible for the
administration of the DOE in accordance with law, including adoption of rules and regulations
pursuant to the rule-making procedures set out in the federal Administrative Procedure Act, 5
U.S.C. Chapter 5, §§ 551, et seq.

25.
As the Acting Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights, Ms. Golberg is responsible for
the administration of the DOE’s Office for Civil Rights (“OCR”) in accordance with law,
including mandating procedures for the handling and processing of complaints of illegal
discrimination made to OCR for investigation.
26.
This Court has subject matter jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
§701 - 706; 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331 and 2201; HEA, 20 U.S.C. § 1082; and Federal Rule of Civil
Procedure 23.
27.
This Court has authority to issue declaratory relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2201-
28.
Venue is proper in this judicial district because Named Plaintiff Mark Bochra
2202.
resides in this district and no real property is involved in the action. 28 U.S.C. § 1391(e)(1).
29.
Venue is proper in this Court under 28 U.S.C. §1391(e)(1)(C), because the United
States, its agencies, and its officials acting in their official capacity may be sued in the federal
judicial jurisdiction in which the plaintiff reside, so long as no real property is involved in the
suit.
30.
On review, the APA empowers courts to set aside agency action that is, among
other things, “arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, or otherwise not in accordance with
law.”
III. AT .LEGATIONS COMMON TO THE CLASS:
Administrative Procedure Act
31.
The APA requires a federal agency to render responsive decisions on matters
within its purview in a prompt and definite fashion.
32.
For example, the APA requires that, “[w]ith due regard for the convenience and
necessity of the parties or their representatives and within a reasonable time, each agency shall
proceed to conclude a matter presented to it.” 5 U.S.C. § 555(b).
9
Case: l:21-cv-03887 Document#: 9 Filed: 09/10/21 Page 10 of 36 PagelD#:848
“I came to complete not to refute. I came light to the World.” Jesus Christ
33.
The APA similarly requires that “prompt notice shall be given of the denial in
whole or in part of a written application, petition, or other request of an interested person made
in connection with any agency proceeding.” 5 U.S.C. § 555(e).
34.
And, the APA requires that “[e]ach agency . . . [g]ive an interested person the
right to petition for the issuance, amendment, or repeal of a rule.” 5 U.S.C. §553(e).
35.
“A person suffering legal wrong because of agency action, or adversely affected
or aggrieved by agency action within the meaning of a relevant statute, is entitled to judicial
review thereof.” 5 U.S.C. §702. “Agency action “includes the “failure to act.”5 U.S.C.§553(e).
36.
A Court “shall - compel agency action unlawfully withheld or unreasonably
delayed.” 5 U.S.C. §706(1).
37.
A Court shall also “hold unlawful and set aside agency action, findings, and
conclusions found to be . . . arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, or otherwise not in
accordance with law.” 5 U.S.C. §706(2)(A).
IV. LEGAL BACKGROUND
38.
The head of a federal Executive Department may adopt rules for the conduct and
government of her agency. 5 U.S.C. §301.
39.
Adoption of such rules must comply with the requirements of the rule-making
procedures of the federal Administrative Procedure Act (“APA”), 5 U.S.C. §551, et seq., if the
proposed rules meet the definition of “rule” found in 5 U.S.C. §551(4): “ ... the whole or a part
of an agency statement of general or particular applicability and future effect designed to
implement, interpret, or prescribe law or policy or describing the organization, procedure, or
practice requirements of an agency ....”
40.
The APA requires that courts “shall... hold unlawful and set aside agency action,
findings, and conclusions found to be ... arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, or
otherwise not in accordance with law.” 5 U.S.C. § 706(2)(A), (B).
41.
The APA also requires that rules proposed by a federal agency first be published
in the Federal Register, with the terms or substance of the proposed rule, the legal authority for
10

the proposed rule, and specific information regarding when a public hearing on the proposed rule
will take place. 5 U.S.C. §§ 553(b), (d).
42.
Under the APA, the proposing agency must consider, prior to adoption of the rule,
all written data, views, or arguments submitted by interested persons regarding the proposed rule.
5 U.S.C. §§ 553(c), (d). This set of APA provisions for publication and consideration of
comments is referred to as the “notice-and-comment requirement.”
43.
5 U.S.C. §702 creates a cause of action in federal court for any person who has
suffered legal wrong because of, or been adversely affected or aggrieved by, an agency action or
failure to act as required by the rule-making statutes. The statute waives the sovereign immunity
of the federal government for such a lawsuit, so long as the lawsuit is against a federal agency or
a federal employee who acted or failed to act in her official capacity or under color of legal
authority, and the suit does not request monetary damages.
44.
28 U.S.C. § 2201 permits this Court to issue a declaratory judgment that the
Defendants have violated 5 U.S.C. Chapter 5 in adopting the IHRA definition as well as certain
provisions in August 26, 2020 OCR Manual, as identified below.
V. RELEVANT FACTS
45.
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, 29 U.S.C. § 794, et seq. (“Section
504”), prohibits discrimination by recipients of federal financial assistance, including assistance
from the DOE, from discriminating against individuals with disabilities.
46.
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000d, et seq. (“Title VI”),
prohibits discrimination by recipients of federal financial assistance, including assistance from
the DOE, from discriminating on the basis of race, color, or national origin.
47.
The DOE’s Title VI regulations provide:
The responsible Department official or 'his designee will make a prompt
investigation whenever a compliance review, report, complaint, or any other
information indicates a possible failure to comply with this part.

34 C.F.R. § 100.7(c) (Title 34, Subchapter B, Chapter 1, Part 100: Non-Discrimination Under
Programs Receiving Federal Assistance Through the Department of Education Effectuation of
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964) (emphasis added).
48.
Section 504 requires agencies that provide federal funding to apply the same
remedies, procedures, and rights set forth in Title VI to the civil rights of persons with
disabilities. 29 U.S.C. § 794a(a). DOE adopted the Title VI rights and procedures, including 34
C.F.R. § 100.7, for complaints of violations of Section 504. 34 C.F.R. § 104.61.
49.
In 2015, the OCR issued a Case Processing Manual (“2015 OCR Manual”), which
adopted “procedures to promptly and effectively investigate and resolve complaints, compliance
reviews and directed investigations to ensure compliance with the civil rights laws enforced by
OCR,” including Title VI and Section 504. 2015 OCR Manual, Introduction.
50.
The 2015 OCR Manual set out the process by which OCR staff received and
investigated complaints from individuals who allege that a person or entity that receives funding
from the DOE has violated the civil rights laws by illegally discriminating on the basis of race,
color, national origin, sex, disability, or age. Id.
51.
The 2015 OCR Manual allowed timely complaints that were within OCR’s
jurisdiction to be dismissed prior to opening an investigation in three circumstances, namely, (1)
if the complaint, on its face, failed to state a claim of violation of one of the laws that OCR
enforces, (2) if it lacked sufficient detail for OCR to infer that discrimination has occurred, or (3)
if it was so speculative, conclusory or incoherent that OCR could not infer that discrimination
had occurred. Id. § 108.
52.
The 2015 Manual also provided that, if an investigation concluded that the
preponderance of the evidence did not support a conclusion that the recipient had violated
applicable law, OCR would issue a letter of findings explaining the reasons for its decision. 2015
Manual § 303. The 2015 Manual stated that “OCR affords an opportunity to the complainant to
appeal” such a letter of findings to the Director of the Enforcement Office that issued the letter.
2015 OCR Manual §§ 303(a) and 306.
53.
The appeal process of the Manual was also left untouched with no limits to the
number of pages an appeal needs to be along with the only agency and/or person who rules on
the appeal is OCR Headquarter; mainly the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement; in this

case, currently Mr. Randolph Wills, (See Page 8 of the OIG Complaint against Kenneth Marcus
filed by multiple civil right organizations).25
The unique handling of the ZOA appeal decision is also reflected in its outcome. Of those 183
appeals resolved between September 29,2014, and August 27, 2018, by OCR’s Deputy Assistant]
Secretary for Enforcement, only two were reopened (on April 12,2013, and April 18, 2G13).20
Indeed, if one considers an even broader time period of almost six years (from December 11,
2012, to November 5, 2018) in which 743 appeals were resolved by OCR’s Deputy Assistant
54.
In March 2018 under the leadership of Kenneth Marcus, OCR issued a new “U. S.
Department of Education, Office for Civil Rights, Case Processing Manual.” The Introduction to
the 2018 OCR Manual states:
The Case Processing Manual (CPM) provides OCR with the procedures to
promptly and effectively investigate and resolve complaints, compliance reviews,
and directed investigations to ensure compliance with the civil rights laws and
regulations enforced by OCR.
2018 OCR Manual, Introduction. Upon information and belief, the 2018 Manual replaces the
2015 OCR Manual.
55.
Unlike the 2015 OCR Manual, dismissal is mandatory §108(t), and there is no
requirement that the previous complaints have been found to be without merit, or even that the
undefined “pattern” involves the same or similar allegations.
56.
The first change (“Rule Change 1”) means that, as of March 5, 2018, OCR will
no longer investigate a claim of illegal discrimination if the claim is part of “a pattern” of
complaints by an individual complainant against multiple recipients. “Pattern” is undefined and
may cover as few as two complaints, involving different allegations against different entities
over an unspecified period of time. This provision, as written, is not limited to those complaints
that would place an “unreasonable burden” on OCR. Nor is this provision limited to instances
where the prior complaints were meritless.

57.
This new restriction affects both individuals who have been subjected to more
than one incident of illegal discrimination and organizations that represent individuals who
cannot afford to bring claims on their own. The latter groups often submit claims over time for
multiple individuals against multiple recipients. These groups include entities like Plaintiffs, civil
rights advocates and attorneys, and the Protection and Advocacy systems, which are federally
authorized and funded to pursue administrative, legal and other claims of discrimination on
behalf of individuals with disabilities under 54 U.S.C. § 15043, 29 U.S.C. § 3004, and 42 U.S.C.
§ 10803-07.
58.
According to the language of §108(t) of the 2018 OCR Manual, such entities will
be blocked from bringing multiple claims on behalf of their multiple constituents. Because DOE
provided no opportunity for notice and comment. In addition, the 2018 Manual precludes any
civil right organization and/or individuals from bringing a single complaint against multiple
recipients (even if those recipients acted together), if OCR, in its sole judgment, and on the basis
of unknown factors, decides that investigating would place an undefined “unreasonable burden”
on OCR’s resources (“Rule Change 2”).
59.
These two distinct and substantive changes mean that, as of March 5, 2018, OCR
has unilaterally eliminated a right of claimants that was created by the DOE’s regulations and
maintained in prior Case Processing Manuals: the right to have one’s claim of discrimination
investigated if it indicates a possible failure to comply with federal civil rights laws.
60.
Rule Changes 1 and 2 to the 2018 OCR Manual were arbitrary, capricious, and
not in accordance with law.
61.
In addition to adding § 108(t), DOE made a third change that eliminated
complainants’ right to appeal OCR findings of insufficient evidence (“Rule Change 3”).
62.
The 2015 OCR Manual included a right for complainants to appeal OCR
decisions to close their complaints for lack of evidence. In the 2018 OCR Manual, DOE
eliminated the entire “Appeals” section. There is no provision in the 2018 OCR Manual offering
an appeal or reconsideration of an OCR determination not to pursue a claim of discrimination.
The appeal right was eliminated without notice and comment and without any stated rationale to
support it.
63.
None of the three 2018 OCR Manual rule changes is merely an interpretative rule,
a general statement of policy, or a rule of agency organization, procedure, or practice. All the
14
Case: l:21-cv-03887 Document#: 9 Filed: 09/10/21 Page 15 of 36 PagelD #:853
“I came to complete not to refute. I came light to the World.'''’ Jesus Christ
changes shift and affect rights and interests of complainants, and make substantive changes to
prior rules. Therefore, all three changes were required to be subject to notice and comment under
the APA.
64.
DOE did not comply with the federal APA rule-making procedures set out in 5
U.S.C. Chapter 5, §§ 551, et seq., before issuing the 2018 OCR Manual. The proposed 2018
OCR Manual was not published in the Federal Register, nor were public comments on the
proposal sought, received, or considered, prior to the 2018 OCR Manual’s adoption. The public
did not have an opportunity for notice and comment before the Manual was adopted and put into
effect.
65.
After a public uproar and litigation, OCR backtracked by amending their manual
and re-opened all dismissed complaints.26 However, again without any published notice in the
Federal Register, comments and discussion on the regulation, Office for Civil Rights has done
two things to the manual under both the Trump’s and the Biden’s cabinet leaderships; OCR
August 26, 2020 Manual and January 19,2021 the IHRA definition.
(A) Weakening the appeal process by limiting the appeal to 10 page double space with no
time frame provided to rule on the appeal, and without mentioning who rules on the
appeal, yet the appeal is asked to be mailed to OCR headquarter address; never to any
regional offices. The appeal procedure is written in a way that is vague, unclear, and
provides no time frame for ruling on the appeal; rendering due process rights an illusion.
The appeal procedure is written in a way which makes the appeal process a never
independent process but rather it relays on pleasing the Masters who rules over a federal
building i.e., Office For Civil Rights; here due process was denied again for many; equity
and equality was denied for many as well (“Rule Change 4”); and
(B) Without any notice published in the Federal Register or public comments, or even
congress adopting such definition, Office for Civil Rights adopted the IHRA definition,
first by Kenneth Marcus himself when he granted Zoa’s appeal under the definition
without congress intent.27 And later OCR continued and enforced the IHRA definition
under the leadership of Suzanne Goldberg under the Biden’s administration (both

Kenneth Marcus and Suzanne Goldberg are Jews); a definition which makes the Jewish
people superior in every way compare to the Gentiles (“Rule Change 5”).28
66.
On March 19, 2021, Plaintiff- wrote a direct letter to Secretary Cardona and sends
it his via e-mail Miguel.Cardona@ed.gov along with his entire staff at DOE and OCR. Plaintiff
in a hope for a new leadership, a vision to fix rather than destroys, and after watching Secretary
Miguel Cardona confirmation hearing, especially when he said on his own twitter account “All
means all”, Plaintiff had high hope for a greater change within OCR.29 However, words were one
thing and action was another. See Office for Civil Rights their response to a call for reformation
after Plaintiff’s 1st letter to Secretary Miguel Cardona. OCR outright said the Plaintiff can
complaint to OIG. OCR didn’t care about addressing the context of Plaintiff s letter nor correct
past leadership wrongdoings, to OCR new leadership, Plaintiff was a no one; here you saw the
rise of Goliath taking pride in his own strength.

DOE’s action in adopting the changes to OCR Manual is final. DOE’s action in
adopting the IHRA definition is final. There is no other remedy for this injury except suit in
federal court.
VL WHAT IS THE IHRA DEFINITION & A BACKGROUND CHAIN OF EVENTS
70.
The IHRA definition was a political charged definition by multiple Jewish
lobbyists and advocated by Israel in order to deflect the truth about many realities rather than
seeking reformation. In order to understand what the IHRA is doing to the World, see Exhibit A
18
Case: l:21-cv-03887 Document #: 9 Filed: 09/10/21 Page 19 of 36 PagelD #:857
“I came to complete not to refute. I came light to the World'’’ Jesus Christ
pages 88 - 96; see also Exhibit A pages 101 - 103; see also Exhibit A pages 104-111; and see
Exhibit G pages 118-126.
71.
The IHRA definition calls good-evil, and evil-good; it calls light-darkness and
darkness-light; it calls hate-love and love-hate.30 Humanity has lost its path toward identifying
sood vs. evil. See Exhibit A pages 136 - 138, and see also Exhibit A pages 106-112.
72.
The first major issue with the IHRA definition is to claim that Jews did not kill
Jesus Christ and that claiming so is anti-Semitic. Kenneth Marcus himself wrote a distorted
paper on Anti-Semitism under the title “Jurisprudence of the New Anti-Semitism” by attacking
everyone around the World starting with the followers of Jesus Christ who were all Jews and
persecuted by other Jews for their faith in Jesus Christ, yet Kenneth Marcus never blamed
himself once seeing himself as righteous person and no one is righteous.31 Kenneth Marcus on
page 24 wrote the following:
The advent of Christianity radically altered the place of Jews in the world. establishing
the basic themes of anti-Judaism that endure to the present. . . Early Christianity,
however, developed a particular hostility for the Jews, based on a perception that Jews
had rejected Jesus as their savior and been comvlicit in his death.
73
Kenneth Marcus by his own written words was seeking glory among the nations;
Kenneth Marcus sought earthly glory but if he knew anything about the teachings of Jesus
Christ, he would have learned that Christ came to save the multitudes, starting with the sinners
(The tax collector was one example, and the Prostitute was another).32 See Exhibit G pages 169
- 202; glory was already provided to the Jewish people and they have misused God’s blessings.
74.
Even the foundation of the United States of America was built on the teachings of
Jesus Christ in order to raise a healthy nation; a nation that loves, forgives, and gives chances for
many to change; see Exhibit G pages 229 - 233.33
75.
Plaintiff in order to address Kenneth Marcus’ distorted paper, started by
addressing Kenneth Marcus’ lies first by reaching out to him directly via e-mails in a hope for

intent violating Title VI and the equal protection clause by enforcing a definition that is
exclusive for the Jewish people. However, with the Plaintiff Mark Bochra’s complaint, equal
protection was denied for him by OCR; raising up the Jews who did evil while stepping on the
Coptic who tried to reform evil hearts.
FACTS CONCERNING NAMED PLAINTIFF
Mark Bochra
80.
Plaintiff Mark Bochra enrolled in a Jurist Doctor degree at Florida Coastal School
of law (FCSL) starting in the year 2014 (summer program called Ample) then continued with an
official admission in the year of 2015.
81.
Plaintiff, Mark Bochra, experienced a chain of discriminatory and retaliatory
events at Florida Coastal School of Law and the truth became a burden first for the for-profit law
school leadership and later for OCR senior leadership.
82.
Former Secretary Kenneth Marcus attempted to destroy Plaintiffs case more than
once by allowing the manual to be applied differently on the Plaintiff compared to the
respondent/recipient i.e., Florida Coastal School of Law. Every time the truth came out, OCR
hated the truth and attempted to destroy the Plaintiffs case by enforcing the manual differently
on the Plaintiff compare to the recipient i.e., Florida Coastal School of Law; see Exhibit B letter
to Kenneth Marcus.
83.
Initially Plaintiffs case was handled by Secretary Candice Jackson, who
instructed Deputy Enforcement Director Randolph Wills by saying “7 need this case to be
handled properly” The case initially was handled by OCR headquarter and OCR Atlanta
Director Melanie Velez, however, the manual kept getting violated face on and applied
differently on the Plaintiff while pleasing the recipient; Florida Coastal School of Law.
84.
Senator Richard Durbin who is currently the Chair of the Senate Judiciary
Committee wrote letters to the Department of Education and OCR seeking a clear response to the
pending status of the Plaintiffs complaint. However, Melanie Velez continued delay and excuses
are shown through her 3 identical responses to Senator Durbin’s office; see Exhibit C.
85.
Until, it came the day during Covidl9 lock down when Melanie Velez saw it was
her best opportunity to retaliate against the Plaintiff by tempering with witnesses and the
evidence and issued a one side finding; destroying completely Plaintiffs file and produced
evidence; something the Plaintiff told her over the phone that she will do a year before her taken

“I came to complete not to refute. I came light to the World.” Jesus Christ
action. Plaintiff also pleaded via e-mail to Secretary Betsy DeVos chief of staff for OCR not to
retaliate; but the senior leadership at OCR i.e., Kenneth Marcus was evil at its core.
86.
In a summary, Plaintiffs Complaint went from: OCR for nearly 2 years
negotiating a resolution with a stubborn recipient to a dismissal rather than pass Plaintiffs case
to the Justice Department for prosecution pursuant to the Manuel section 305 and 602; which
Melanie Velez is very much aware of and discussed it with the Plaintiff over one of many phone
conversations.38
Section 305 states the following in part:
When following the expiration of the 30 calendar day period or the 10 calendar day
period referenced in CPM subsection 303(b) and the issuance of a letter of finding(s), the
recipient refuses to make a commitment to voluntarily resolve the identified areas of
noncompliance, OCR will prepare a Letter of Impending Enforcement Action. . . To
resolve the case after issuance of the Letter of Impending Enforcement Action, any
resolution agreement that the recipient proposes must be approved by OCR.
87.
Florida Coastal School of Law refused to agree to OCR resolution agreement
which OCR spent more than a year trying to negotiate with the recipient, while stopping the
investigation and allowing the recipient to disperse most of the witnesses from the school
including most of the Plaintiffs law school professors; this was a clear violation of section 302
which only provided OCR with a 30 days to negotiate a resolution compare to a year. The next
appropriate step was for OCR to refer the case to DOJ for prosecution or a resolution; see section
602 of OCR Manual.39
When post-Letter of Impending Enforcement Action negotiations do not result in a
resolution agreement, OCR will where appropriate, issue a letter to the recipient stating
that the case will be referred to DOJ in 10 days from the date of the letter.
88.
Several individuals inside the Department of Education tried to help the Plaintiff
like the Communication Director Edgar Mayes, however, the leadership of Kenneth Marcus was
too corrupt, wicked, and evil; see Exhibit D the 20th letter to President Trump; explains in detail
some of the chain of events which took place concerning the Defendant, DOE.

Office for Civil Rights violated their own case processing manual, applied a

way they handled many complaints by enforcing the federal civil right laws unequally. Here
OCR failed its mission in becoming the gate keeper of protecting the civil rights of all students.
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, sic.40

Plaintiff as an individual who has been or is being injured by the Defendants’
failure to comply with the requirements of Chapter 5 of the federal APA. Defendants continued
modification to the OCR Manuel without public notice and comments, is clearly shown when the
appeal process was violated by OCR when handling the Plaintiffs appeal. In part, the
Defendants did the following:
a) Any appeal is handled and ruled by OCR HQ i.e., the Deputy Enforcement director. In
one of its kind, Defendants redirected another regional office, OCR Dallas to rule on the
Plaintiffs appeal.
b) OCR Dallas through a series of trials to destroy Plaintiffs appeal, sought from him to
rewrite his appeal by complying with a 10 page double space, in order to destroy as many
evidence produced within the appeal. The Plaintiff complied with OCR Dallas demand
by producing a 10 page double space appeal.
c) OCR Dallas refused to rule on the appeal, sending it back to OCR Atlanta based on Mr.
Gregory McGhee own words to the Plaintiff “Mark if we find that OCR Atlanta
mishandled your complaint, we will send the case back to them.”
d) After Defendants received a copy of Plaintiffs letters to President Biden and Congress;
letter 1 and letter 2. Secretary Suzanne Goldberg redirected OCR Dallas to respond to the
Plaintiff, however, in the response, it showed a new name added onto the e-mail Aaron
Romine without stating at that time who is Aaron Romine; Jewish name that is.
e) Finally, Defendants retaliated against the Plaintiff by denying the appeal without any
justification or proper explanation. Furthermore, the appeal denial was written by Aaron
Romine who claimed to be the Acting Director of OCR Dallas; however, Aaron Romine
was always the director of OCR Denver.41 See Exhibit E. Here, the Defendants brought

Defendants continued arbitrary and capricious behavior have not just injured the
Plaintiff but many other Plaintiffs as well; see “Department of Education is stalling Complaints
against race, sex segregation” citing OCR Denver as the worst of all OCR regional offices.42

After Plaintiffs first letter to President Biden and Congress, Catherine Lhamon
was nominated that same day to take charge of Office for Civil Rights, in a hope of bringing
reforms to OCR. However, can a new Secretary bring reforms to OCR while neglecting injustice
committed by OCR predecessors? ‘Urgent as it ever has been’: Biden pick says she’ll rebuild
civil rights office at critical time.43

Plaintiff seeks to reform the Department of Education and Office for Civil Rights
on his own behalf and on behalf of others, while seeking justice for what happened to his life and
legal career at the hands of some Jewish people. Justice heals and injustice feeds on hate.
However, there is the sort of justice which brings love and peace to many. Plaintiff has shown
this through his work when the Abraham Accord came to life; initially it was called “Deal of the
Century” and it was a failure by Jared Kushner. See Exhibit A page 30; see also Exhibit G

CLASS ACTION ALLEGATION
94.
The named Plaintiff file this action on his own behalf and all other individuals
similarly situated. Plaintiff seeks to represent a class § 706 (1) Class and § 706(2) Sub-Class that
has been harmed by the new OCR Case Processing Manuel and the adoption of the IHRA
definition by the Department of Education in term of causing disparate treatment discrimination
to another race outside of the Jewish identity.
95.
The proposed class satisfies the requirements of Rule 23(a) of the Federal Rule of
Civil Procedure.
a.
The Class is so numerous that joinder of all members is impracticable
because the IHRA alone separates the Jewish people from the Gentiles,
rendering Title VI on its own moot.
b.
There are questions of law and facts common to the class, including
without limitation, whether the Department of Education can enforce the
IHRA definition without congress intent, and whether the Department of
Education’s adoption of the IHRA definition violates the federal civil right
act, and whether the IHRA definition is unlawful.
c.
The named Plaintiff is proceeding as a pro-se because no one in the United
States so far came to challenge OCR adoption of the IHRA definition
within the Federal Court systems. However at anytime this honorable
court deems a legal representation is necessary for the said class action
lawsuit and in order to protect the interests of the class, the court can
appoint legal presentation to assist the Plaintiff.
96.
A class action is superior to other available means for the fair and efficient
adjudication of the claims of Named Plaintiffs, and the class. The Plaintiff and others in the same
situation have been damaged by reason of the Department of Education’s persistent modification
of their case processing manual without public notice and comment in the federal register; along
with the adoption of the IHRA definition.

“I came to complete not to refute. I came light to the World.” Jesus Christ
97.
A class is appropriate under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23(b)(2) because the
Defendants’ action in refusing to adopt a fair manual, especially section 307 appeal process, after
public notice and comment on the changes within the manual. Along with the Department’s
refusal to vacate the IHRA definition because it stands in contrary with OCR mission.44
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.
98.
A class is also appropriate under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23(b)(1)
because prosecuting separate actions could create inconsistent or varying adjudications that
could establish incompatible standards of conduct for the Department. Similarly, the adjudication
of one class member’s claims would, as a practical matter, be dispositive of the interests of the
other members not party of the adjudication.
CAUSES OF ACTION
COUNT I: Violation of 5 USC Chapter 5, §§ 551, etseqAdoption of a Rule that is Not in
Accordance with Law (for Injunctive and Declaratory Relief)
99.
Plaintiff repeats and incorporate by reference each and every allegation contained
in the preceding paragraphs as if fully set forth herein.
100.
This Court is empowered by 5 U.S.C. § 702 to hold unlawful and set aside agency
action that the Court finds to be not in accordance with law.
101.
This Court is empowered by 28 U.S.C. § 2201 to declare the rights of Plaintiff
and other interested parties regarding the issues presented in this Complaint.
102.
OCR Manual changes without public notice and comments wholly and
unequivocally contradict DOE regulation 34 C.F.R. § 100.7(c) and 34 C.F.R. § 104.61, which
provide that DOE “will make a proper investigation” when it receives a complaint that “indicates
a possible” illegal discriminatory action by a recipient of federal educational funds (emphasis
added). Nothing in these regulations permits DOE or OCR to discriminate themselves against
one class compare to another. Here, OCR has destroyed its own dictated mission by adopting the
IHRA definition and weakening the appeal process of the Manuel in order to destroy as many

“I came to complete not to refute. I came light to the World.” Jesus Christ
appeals as possible by means of deception and prejudice; backed up by how previously the
Department removed the entire appeal section from the OCR manual.
103.
The Department passing Plaintiffs appeal from one regional office onto to the
other and re-assigning regional directors with a stroke of a pen whenever they felt like it, does
not only violate the 2020 manual but shows inconsistency in rulings when it is OCR headquarter
deputy enforcement director who rules on the appeals. The Department does not have an
independent body of individuals who rules on the appeals but rather passing appeals from the
Master to the Servant does not render the appeal process a fair and just process because at the
end of the day, the Master serves the Servant; in this parable OCR regional offices do comply
with what OCR headquarter advises them to do.
104.
In addition, Congress appropriated an increase of $8.5 million for DOE OCR for
fiscal year 2018, for a total annual budget of $117,000,000.45 Followed by an increase for a total
annual budget of $125,000,000 for the fiscal year 2020.46 Department of Education Office for
Civil Rights Fiscal Year 2018 and 2020 Budget Requests can be found at Z-7. This shows that
OCR has the budged and the capacity to handle civil right complaints without the need to
eliminate the appeal section or modify it to the point it can eliminate as many appeals as
possible.
105.
Plaintiff on his own behalf and behalf of other similarly situated are entitled to a
declaratory judgment that § 307 of the 2020 OCR Manual is not in accordance with law and
violates Chapter 5 of the APA.
106.
Plaintiff on his own behalf and behalf of other similarly situated are entitled to an
order vacating § 307 of the 2020 OCR Manual along with vacating the IHRA definition and
enjoining the DOE and OCR officials, as named in this suit, from implementing it.
COUNT II: Violation of 5 USC Chapter 5, §§ 551, et seq. Adoption of the IHRA
definition that is Arbitrary or Capricious (for Injunctive and Declaratory Relief)
107.
Plaintiff repeats and incorporate by reference each and every allegation contained
in the preceding paragraphs as if fully set forth herein.

This Court is empowered by 5 U.S.C. § 702 to hold unlawful and set aside agency
action that the Court finds to be arbitrary or capricious.

109.
This Court is empowered by 28 U.S.C. § 2201 to declare the rights of Plaintiff
and other interested parties regarding the issues presented in this Complaint.
110.
On its face, the adopted IHRA definition without congress intent, public notice or
comments in the Federal register by the DOE and OCR, are arbitrary or capricious, or both.
Neither the DOE nor OCR has identified any evidence or rational to support their adoption of the
IHRA definition.
111.
On its face, the amended appeal § 307 of the 2020 OCR Manual without public
notice or comments in the Federal register by the DOE and OCR, are arbitrary or capricious, or
both. The Department reducing the appeal process to a mere process by denying proper due
process by means of using an appeal process that is unclear and inconsistent, when it fails to (1)
recite who rules on the appeals, (2) setting a time frame for when an appeal would be ruled on,
(3) and limiting the Complainants’ appeals to 10 pages double space. Neither the DOE or OCR
has identified any evidence or rational to support reducing the appeal process into a mere
process. None of the essential terms used in § 307 to the 2020 OCR manual is defined, such as
who rules on the appeal, the time frame covered to rule on any appeal, or who falls under the old
appeal process of the 2015 OCR manual vs. the new adopted appeal process in the 2020 OCR
manual i.e., unlimited pages or i0 pages double space.
112.
There is no rational basis for reducing the appeal process after it was previously
eliminated other than to continue to deny many the rights to proper due process which is the
essence of the Civil Right Laws. In addition to the adoption of the IHRA definition which treats
one class of students with a set of rules and privileges that are different from the remaining
classes of students. Because there is no rational basis for the assumptions underlying §307 of the
2020 OCR Manual and the IHRA definition, their adoption were arbitrary or capricious, or both.
113.
Plaintiff on his own behalf and behalf of other similarly situated are entitled to a
declaratory judgment that § 307 of the 2020 OCR Manual, along with the IHRA definition is
arbitrary and capricious and violates Chapter 5 of the APA. Plaintiff on his own behalf and
behalf of other similarly situated are entitled to an order vacating §307 of the 2020 OCR Manual
and the IHRA definition and enjoining the DOE and OCR officials, as named in this suit, from
implementing or enforcing it.

COUNT III: Violation of 5 U.S.C. Chapter 5, §§ 551, et seq.: Failure to comply with notice
and comment requirements (for Injunctive and Declaratory Relief)
114.
Plaintiff repeats and incorporate by reference each and every allegation contained
in the preceding paragraphs as if fully set forth herein.
115.
This Court is empowered by 5 U.S.C. §§ 702 and 706 to hold unlawful and set
aside final agency action that the Court finds to have been adopted without observance of
procedure required by law.
116.
This Court is empowered by 28 U.S.C. § 2201 to declare the rights of Plaintiff
and other interested parties regarding the issues presented in this Complaint.
117.
DOE and OCR have violated the APA, 5 U.S.C. Chapter 5, §§ 551, et seq., by
first eliminating the right to appeal in the 2018 OCR Manual without complying with the notice
and comment requirements of the APA rule-making provisions. Then later adopting §307 of the
2020 OCR Manual and the IHRA definition without again complying with the notice and
comment requirements of the APA rule-making provisions.
118.
None of the OCR Manual changes is merely an interpretative rule, a general
statement of policy, or a rule of agency organization, procedure, or practice. The changes shift
and affect rights and interests of complainants, and make substantive amendments to prior rules.
119.
No public notice of these new rules was provided to interested persons, and
interested persons were given no opportunity to provide comment on them before they were
adopted. No explanation, reason or rationale was provided for the unilateral adoption of these
changes.
120.
Plaintiff on his own behalf and behalf of other similarly situated have been
injured in that the DOE and OCR have adopts rules within the OCR Manual and a definition (the
IHRA) which violates many complainants’ rights and DOE’s own non-discrimination statues.
121. Plaintiff on his own behalf and behalf of other similarly situated are entitled to a
declaratory judgment that the changes to the 2020 OCR Manual described in this Complaint
along with the IHRA definition were adopted without compliance with Chapter 5 of the APA,
and are, therefore, illegal.
122.
Plaintiff are entitles to an order vacating § 307 of the 2020 OCR Manual, along
with the IHRA definition, reinstating the appeal process adopted in the 2015 OCR manual,
enjoining the DOE and OCR officials, as named in this suit, from implementing those changes,

and requiring them, before attempting to adopt any similar provisions, to comply with the notice
and comments requirements of the APA, 5 U.S.C. Chapter 5, §§ 551, et seq.
COUNT IV: Unlawfully Withheld and Unreasonably Delayed Agency Action
APA § 706(1)
123.
Plaintiff repeats and incorporate by reference each and every allegation contained
in the preceding paragraphs as if fully set forth herein.
124.
Defendants have violated the APA, 5 U.S.C. § 706(1) because they have refused
to grant applications from members of the proposed class by failing to adopt a fair appeal process
after public notice and comments in the Federal Register and refuse to vacate the IHRA
definition which conflicts with OCR mission and Title VI of the Civil Right Act.
125.
Pursuant to the APA, a court “shall [] compel agency action unlawfully withheld
or unreasonably delayed.” 5 U.S.C. § 706(1).
126.
The Department has not brought to conclusion the applications presented to it
within a reasonable time, as required by the APA. The Department left the appeal process with
no time frame to rule on the appeals, as shown in this complaint, Defendants used a year
switching between different regional offices to rule on Plaintiffs appeal; to the Department, it
was a power with no boundaries.
127.
Defendants’ inaction has harmed and prejudiced Named Plaintiff and members of
the protected class, including by violating their protected civil rights and the right to a fair due
process.
128.
The Department has acted in repeated bad faith in denying individuals their right
to due process and a fair appeal.
129.
The Court should declare that the Department has violated the APA and compel
the Department to start granting Class Members’ individual appeal applications based on the
2015 OCR Manuel for an independent appeal review free from any conflict of interest.
COUNT V: Arbitrary and Capricious Final Agency Action
APA § 706(2)
130.
Plaintiff repeats and re-alleges the foregoing paragraphs as if fully set forth
131.
The Defendants amended appeal process and adopted IHRA definition is arbitrary
herein.
and capricious and not otherwise in accordance with the law because Defendants have the legal

obligation to protect the rights of every student; clearly OCR has set a standard of different
application of laws between the Jewish people vs. the Gentiles.
132.
Defendants’ adopted policies runs counter to its own mission. The Court should
declare that the Department’s final agency action is unlawful and vacate the IHRA definition and
§ 307 of the 2020 OCR Manual or alternatively after public notice and comments in the Federal
Register, amend § 307 of the 2020 OCR Manual while restoring current dismissed complainants’
appeals under the 2020 OCR Manual.
COUNT VI: PROCEDURAL DUE PROCESS - U.S. CONST. AMEND. 5
133.
Plaintiff repeats and incorporate by reference each and every allegation contained
in the preceding paragraphs as if fully set forth herein.
134.
The Defendants have deprived the Plaintiff and others of their constitutionally
protected civil rights without due process of law by failing to satisfy their obligation under OCR
mission to vigorous enforcement of civil rights; the violations and amendments to the OCR
manual without public notice and comments, and the adoption of the IHRA definition renders
this vigorous enforcement moot.
135.
The Defendants have deprived the Plaintiff and others of their constitutionally
protected civil rights without due process of law by failing to satisfy their obligation to provide
complainants with a neutral decision-maker on their complaints. The adoption of the IHRA
definition by itself renders OCR mission statement meaningless because each race will seek a
definition by that same standard and ask a simple question “Why not me too?”
PRAYERS FOR RELIEF
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff on his own behalf and behalf of other similarly situated
respectfully request that this Court enter a judgment in their favor, and against Defendants, and:
a) Certify the class and sub-class as defined in this complaint, pursuant to Rule 23 of the
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure;
b) Declare that Defendants’ adoption of § 307 of the 2020 OCR Manual and the IHRA
definition was not in accordance with law and was beyond statutory and regulatory
authority, in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act;
c) Declare that Defendants’ first eliminating of the 2015 OCR Manual § 307 appeal
right in the 2018 OCR Manual without complying with notice, and comment
requirements and then again bringing back the appeal process but under obscure

terms in the 2020 OCR Manual under section 307 again without a public notice and

d) Vacate and set aside the challenged provisions of the 2020 OCR Manual, pursuant to
5U.S.C. §702;
e) Vacate and set aside the IHRA definition, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 702;
f) Preliminarily and permanently enjoin Defendants, their agents, servants, employees,
attorneys, and all persons in active, concert or participation with them, from acting in
accordance with implementing § 307 of the 2020 OCR Manual and the IHRA
definition, and from denying the rights to a proper appeal and due process;
g) Preliminarily and permanently enjoin Defendants to comply with DOE regulations
and the notice and comment requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act in the
development of any provisions replacing the vacated provisions of the Manual;
h) Retain Jurisdiction as appropriate; and
i) Order such other and further relief that this Court may deem just and proper.

NOW COMES, Plaintiff, Mark Bochra, pro-se, on his own behalf and all other
individuals similarly situated, hereby oppose the Motion to Dismiss filed by Defendants U.S.
Department of Education, Miguel Cardona, and Suzanne Goldberg (collectively, “Defendants”),
ECF No. 28 (“Mot. To Dismiss”). Both the changes to the OCR Manual and the adoption of the
IHRA definition were promulgated violation of DOE’s own regulations and were arbitrary and
capricious, in direct violation of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. Chapter 5, §§ 551,
et seq. These changes were promulgated in violation of the APA’s rule-making requirements.
Contrary to Defendants’ assertions, Plaintiffs have adequately pled that Defendants violated the
APA. Therefore, Plaintiff prays that Defendants’ motion should be denied in its entirety.

PRE-STATEMENT; THE LAMP ON A STAND
No one lights a lamp and covers it with a bowl. Instead, they put it on a stand, so that
those who come in can see the light. Whatever is hidden away will be brought out into the open,
and whatever will be covered up will be found and brought out to light. Therefore take heed how
you hear. For whoever has, to him more will be given; and whoever does not have, even what he
seems to have will be taken from him [Luke 8:16-18]. i
Defendants’ counsel, Sarah Terman from the Justice Department in her motion to dismiss
Plaintiffs complaint (Dkt 9) followed a specific strategy, that is to discredit Plaintiffs lawsuit by
attacking his character with lies despite her knowing the truth while ignoring all the factual
evidence within Plaintiffs complaint and their exhibits; like for instance failing to answer that
Kenneth Marcus, a member of the Israeli lobby infiltrated the Federal Government to impose the
fflORA definition on behalf of Israel to which has shocked Departments’ Officials at that time.2
At that time, Secretary Betsy DeVos said, “the Department has not adopted a definition
of anti-Semitism” sic, Hill said in an e-mail; see Dkt. 9 f 6.3 This was a clear statement from the
former Secretary of the Department of Education to clarify that the Department of Education,
Office for Civil Rights (“OCR”) does not have jurisdiction to impose the IHRA definition; it also
conflicts with OCR jurisdictions because they do not investigate religion discrimination.
Kenneth Marcus adoption of the IHRA definition when he personally granted Zionist
Organization of America’s appeal (a registered foreign agent acting on behalf of Israel)4, not
only ignored OCR Case Processing Manual because nowhere does it mention that a Secretary
can review and grant or deny a Complainant’s appeal; but also Kenneth Marcus adoption of the
IHRA definition opened up Pandora’s box for OCR to investigate religion discrimination which
OCR refused to investigate for the Plaintiff. Hence, one of the many questions before this
Honorable Court is: does the term “Jew” or “Jewish” refers to a race or a religion?5

INTRODUCTION
Plaintiff on his own behalf and on behalf of similarly situated people, filed a lawsuit (Dkt
9) in two parts, (1) seeking an injunctive and a declaratory relief against the Defendants under
the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. Chapter 5, §§ 551, et seq., and (2) styled his
complaint in a form of a class action lawsuit under Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure when this honorable court permits it because the outstanding questions before this
honorable court affects the entire education system (Dkt 25 Class Certification); either way, a
nationwide injunctive and declaratory relief or certifying a class action lawsuit will remedy the
complaint at hands and bring solace and rescue to America’s entire Education system including
the Plaintiff who suffered valid and clear injuries by Defendants’ own misconducts.6
Defendants’ counsel, Sarah Terman out of the abundance of her heart, in her motion to
dismiss decided to double down on Plaintiffs pain by first defaming his character with lies7 and
later proceeded to make several arguments, that (1) the Plaintiff has no standing to attack the
Department of Education’s adoption of the IHRA definition with all its components and
confused meanings8; (2) that the IHRA definition does not affect the Plaintiff in any way, nor
caused any injuries to the Plaintiff, nor was it recited within his appeal with office for civil rights
(“OCR”); (3) that the changes to the OCR Manual and the adoption of the IHRA definition were
not arbitrary and capricious in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. Chapter
5, §§ 551, et seq-, (4) that the Department of Education did not mishandle Plaintiffs complaint
nor retaliated against him claiming that he can file a lawsuit in Florida against the Law School
(which was shut down by DOE — emphasis added)9 in reality rendering OCR mission actually
moot and doubling down on Plaintiffs injuries and financial well being; and (5) that former
6 Motion for leave to amend the complaint was denied without prejudice pending ruling on DOJ motion to dismiss.
7 Ms. Sarah Terman was the version of Ms. Trunchbull who bullies the weak with a pack of lies and relays on her
mighty proud status as a DOJ lawyer to convince others that she is right and others are wrong; providing no mercy
https://voutu.be/leCZaVa7 pY?t=100 Ms. Terman given her family identity of being half Muslim and half Jewish
shows a great conflict of interest as it pleases her to see the IHRA definition getting adopted because partially it
serves her personal interest. See relatives of Ms Terman (Rochelle Terman) the daughter of a Muslim-lranian
mother and Jewish-American father https://www.berkelev.edu/news/students/2010/terman/index.shtml see her

“/ came to complete not to refute. I came light to the World.'” Jesus Christ
President Trump’s executive order adopting the IHRA definition trumps the Administrative
Procedure Act (APA) process rendering it moot thus claiming that this Court has no jurisdiction
to rule on the IHRA definition; and last (6) Plaintiff has no standing to bring a class action
lawsuit because he is proceeding pro-se and cannot represent others; however, absent this court
exercising its discretion in granting legal counsel representation because the Plaintiff was granted
a forma pauperis status by this honorable court. All of Defendants’ arguments could not stand
because they fail to disclose or discuss the merits of Plaintiffs complaint; rather they navigate
this honorable Court through a chain of narrative arguments which by Defendants’ own words is
actually why the IHRA definition has injured the Plaintiff in many ways, along with others.
In Defendants’ motion to dismiss, Dkt 28 page 3, Defendants’ counsel Sarah Terman first
argument is her objection to the truth (a) the “Parable to the Justice System”10; (b) the validity of
“Jesus Christ” and the Devil’s existence11, (c) and the existence of the “Jewish Oligarchy and the
Jewish-Israeli Lobby”12 as if they are an abnormal subjects that should not be discussed nor
related to the Department of Education’s personal interest at the hands of Kenneth Marcus.13
One blind man cannot lead another, if he does, they will both fall into a ditch [Luke
6:39].14 Emphasis added “anyone who followed Kenneth Marcus’s agenda has lead to
more hate than love” — (will be discussed later in great details in this response).
Former Secretary Kenneth Marcus for Office of Civil Rights (“OCR”), by his own hands
has destroyed the entire Department of Education, Office for Civil Rights mission, ethics, and
their obligation to protect students from discrimination and retaliation when he rendered title vi
moot through his adoption of the IHRA definition; see Dkt. 9

STATEMENT OF FACTS
L
STATUTORY AND REGULATORY BACKGROUND
Under Title IV of the HEA, 20 U.S.C. § 1070, et seq., the Department is responsible for
overseeing the federal student loan program, including the Federal Family Education Loan
(FFEL), 20 U.S.C. § 1071, et. seq., and William D. Ford Direct Loan Programs, 20 U.S.C. §
1087a, et seq. Under the Direct Loan Program, the Department directly lends money to eligible
student borrowers so that they can attend “participating institutions of higher education,” as
approved and regulated by the Department. 20 U.S.C. § 1087a. Under the FFEL program (under
which no new loans have been issued since July 1, 2010), private lenders issued student loans,
which were then insured by guaranty agencies, and in turn reinsured by the Department. 20
U.S.C. § 1078.
Providing an education free from discrimination and retaliation is the central mission of
Office for Civil Rights (OCR). When an institution of higher education fails to provide an
education free from discrimination and/or retaliation, Office for Civil rights has the duty and the
responsibility to provide an antidote to a virus called “evil”; failure to provide remedies, not only
violates OCR special mission “to ensure equal access to education and to promote educational
excellence through vigorous enforcement of civil rights in our nation’s schools”15 but also
renders the civil right act moot on its face.
One of the many actions, OCR can take is enforcement action which denies Title IV
funds to a specific institution which refuses to reach a settlement agreement with Office for Civil
Rights and send the case to the Department of Justice for proper prosecution and remedies;
Section 602 of OCR Manual states the following.16
When post-Letter of Impending Enforcement Action negotiations do not result in a
resolution agreement and OCR decides, within its discretion, to refer the matter to DOJ, it
will issue a letter to the recipient stating that the case will be referred to DOJ within 10
calendar days of the date of the letter; Section 602 of OCR Manual.
See Exhibit 2, an e-mail from Office for Civil Rights on behalf of Secretary Betsy Devos to the
Plaintiff in regards to remedies which cure a “hostile environment” such as educational

reimbursement and counseling; see Exhibit 3, an e-mail exchange between OCR Atlanta team
and OCR HQ Mr. Randolph Wills notifying him that the recipient reached a resolution
agreement with OCR.17 At the time of the negotiated agreement, “educational reimbursement”
was excluded but rather based upon Mr. Will’s own words over the phone, to send the Plaintiff
back to the law school; a law school that was destined for closure for committing deception and
fraud against many students to which also the Plaintiff uncovered throughout his experienced
chain of discrimination and retaliation; indeed the law school was later denied title iv funds by
DOE; see Am. Comp
12-14, ECF No. 9; see Am. Comp Exhibit G pages 127-136, ECF No. 9.
The head of a federal Executive Department may adopt rules for the conduct and
government of her agency. 5 U.S.C. §301. Adoption of such rules must comply with the
requirements of the rule-making procedures of the federal Administrative Procedure Act
(“APA”), 5 U.S.C. §551, et seq., if the proposed rules meet the definition of “rule” found in 5
U.S.C. §551(4): “ ... the whole or a part of an agency statement of general or particular
applicability and future effect designed to implement, interpret, or prescribe law or policy or
describing the organization, procedure, or practice requirements of an agency ....”
The APA requires that courts “shall ... hold unlawful and set aside agency action,
findings, and conclusions found to be ... arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, or
otherwise not in accordance with law.” 5 U.S.C. § 706(2)(A), (B).
The APA also requires that rules proposed by a federal agency first be published in the
Federal Register, with the terms or substance of the proposed rule, the legal authority for the
proposed rule, and specific information regarding when a public hearing on the proposed rule
will take place. 5 U.S.C. §§ 553(b), (d). Under the APA, the proposing agency must consider,
prior to adoption of the rule, all written data, views, or arguments submitted by interested
persons regarding the proposed rule. 5 U.S.C. §§ 553(c), (d). This set of APA provisions for
publication and consideration of comments is referred to as the “notice-and-comment
requirement.”
The APA requires a federal agency to render responsive decisions on matters within its
purview in a prompt and definite fashion. For example, the APA requires that, “[w]ith due regard
17 Enforce Director Randolph Wills on or around 6/1/2018 over the phone told Mark Bochra that the recipient
reached an agreement with OCR Atlanta but it doesn't include refund of his student loan back to DOE to which the
Plaintiff relayed that this is not the right policy or remedy which OCR follows based on its resolution agreements
with other complainants. However, in the end and after 2 years, no resolution was reached rather they, OCR aimed
at destroying Plaintiff's complaint and they did so on 3/20/2020.

for the convenience and necessity of the parties or their representatives and within a reasonable
time, each agency shall proceed to conclude a matter presented to it.” 5 U.S.C. § 555(b).
The APA similarly requires that “prompt notice shall be given of the denial in whole or in
part of a written application, petition, or other request of an interested person made in connection
with any agency proceeding.” 5 U.S.C. § 555(e). And, the APA requires that “[e]ach agency ...
[g]ive an interested person the right to petition for the issuance, amendment, or repeal of a rule.”
5 U.S.C. §553(e). “A person suffering legal wrong because of agency action, or adversely
affected or aggrieved by agency action within the meaning of a relevant statute, is entitled to
judicial review thereof.” 5 U.S.C. §702. “Agency action “includes the “failure to act.” 5
U.S.C.§553(e).
A Court “shall - compel agency action unlawfully withheld or unreasonably delayed.” 5
U.S.C. §706(1). A Court shall also “hold unlawful and set aside agency action, findings, and
conclusions found to be . . . arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, or otherwise not in
accordance with law.” 5 U.S.C. §706(2)(A). 5 U.S.C. §702 creates a cause of action in federal
court for any person who has suffered legal wrong because of, or been adversely affected or
aggrieved by, an agency action or failure to act as required by the rule-making statutes. The
statute waives the sovereign immunity of the federal government for such a lawsuit, so long as
the lawsuit is against a federal agency or a federal employee who acted or failed to act in her
official capacity or under color of legal authority, and the suit does not request monetary
damages.
28 U.S.C. § 2201 permits this Court to issue a declaratory judgment that the Defendants
have violated 5 U.S.C. Chapter 5 in adopting the EHRA definition as well as certain provisions in
August 26,2020 OCR Manual, as identified below.
II.
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION OCR COMPLAINTS
The Department of Education, Office for Civil Rights is responsible for enforcing the
civil rights statutes applicable to educational institutions. (“As the Assistant Secretary for Civil
Rights, Kenneth Marcus at that time before his resignation was responsible for the administration
of the DOE’s Office for Civil Rights (‘OCR’) in accordance with law, including mandating
procedures for the handling and processing of complaints of illegal discrimination made to OCR
for investigation.”).

“I came to complete not to refute. I came light to the World” Jesus Christ
The Office for Civil Rights (“OCR”) within the U.S. Department of Education (“DOE”)
has a special mission: “to ensure equal access to education and to promote educational
excellence through vigorous enforcement of civil rights in our nation’s schools.”
https://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/aboutocr.html. This office serves “student populations
facing discrimination and the advocates and institutions promoting systemic solutions to civil
rights problems” Id. See Am. Comp | 1, ECF No. 9. Contrary to its mission and without any
public notice, DOE summarily eliminated substantive rights of the very people it purports to
serve by changing its Case Processing Manual to abdicate its basic duty to investigate legitimate
complaints of discrimination by students and their parents. Not only that, but DOE has set out a
special class of race with a special set of treatments compare to another {Jewish Students vs. the
Gentiles) by adopting an obscure definition named (IHRA)18 without congress intent, public
notice, and comments in the Federal Register.19 See Am. Comp f 4 and 1fl| 8-11, ECF No. 9.
Anyone encountering discrimination can file an OCR complaint of discrimination,
including any student or person who believes that an educational institution that receives federal
financial assistance has discriminated against someone on the basis of race, color, national
origin, sex, disability, or age; “religion discrimination” is excluded and not investigated by OCR
but rather the Department of Justice, education section.20
in.
THE OCR CASE PROCESSING MANUAL
The OCR Case Processing Manual (“CPM”) sets out OCR’s processes for investigating
complaints pursuant to the regulations implementing Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42
U.S.C. § 2000d et seq., and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, 29 U.S.C. § 794 et
seq., including the procedural regulations for Title VI, 34 C.F.R. § 100.7, and Section 504, 34
C.F.R. §104.61 (“The procedural provisions applicable to title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
apply to this part. These procedures are found in §§ 100.6-100.10 and part 101 of this title.”).
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, 29 U.S.C. § 794, et seq. (“Section 504”),
prohibits discrimination by recipients of federal financial assistance, including assistance from
the DOE, from discriminating against individuals with disabilities.

“I came to complete not to refute. I came light to the World." Jesus Christ
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,42 U.S.C. § 2000d, et seq. (“Title VI”), prohibits
discrimination by recipients of federal financial assistance, including assistance from the DOE,
from discriminating on the basis of race, color, or national origin.
The DOE’s Title VI regulations provide:
The responsible Department official or his designee will make a prompt investigation
whenever a compliance review, report, complaint, or any other information indicates a
possible failure to comply with this part. The investigation should include, where
appropriate, a review of the pertinent practices and policies of the recipient, the
circumstances under which the possible noncompliance with this part occurred, and other
factors relevant to a determination as to whether the recipient has failed to comply with
this part.
34 C.F.R. § 100.7(c) (Title 34, Subchapter B, Chapter 1, Part 100: Non-Discrimination Under
Programs Receiving Federal Assistance Through the Department of Education Effectuation of
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964) (emphasis added).
Section 504 requires agencies that provide federal funding to apply the same remedies,
procedures, and rights set forth in Title VI to the civil rights of persons with disabilities. 29
U.S.C. § 794a(a). DOE adopted the Title VI rights and procedures, including 34 C.F.R. § 100.7,
for complaints of violations of Section 504. 34 C.F.R. § 104.61.
In recent years, schools and universities across the country have witnessed an expansion
in the number, scope and length of investigations conducted by the U.S. Department of
Education's Office for Civil Rights (“OCR”). In particular, OCR often expanded individual
complaints to more broadly investigate evidence of systematic discrimination at schools and
colleges. Also during the course of the investigation if any other violations occurs or reported by
the Complainant, they are also investigated as part of the Complainant’s Complaint. A June 8,
2017 memorandum issued by Candice Jackson, former OCR’s Acting Assistant Secretary for
Civil Rights, indicates that OCR will take a different approach going forward. See Exhibit 4;
Former Secretary Candice Jackson’s Memorandum.
“OCR’s stated goal is “to swiftly address compliance issues raised by individual
complaint allegations, reach reasonable resolution agreements with defined, enforceable
obligations placed upon recipients directly responsive to addressing the concerns raised
in the individual complaint being resolved, and encourage voluntary settlements
wherever possible.”
These instructions were however violated greatly once Kenneth Marcus replaced Candice
Jackson as the secretary for OCR; it was former Secretary Candice Jackson who appointed

The History of the 2015 OCR Manual
In order to understand the history behind the continuous “arbitrary and capricious”
actions taken by Office for Civil Rights (“OCR”) in violation to the APA; one must place a
period at the end of the line and start from the beginning because the origin always reveals the
truth no matter how obscure it might look later.
In 2015, the OCR issued a Case Processing Manual (“2015 OCR Manual”), which
adopted “procedures to promptly and effectively investigate and resolve complaints, compliance
reviews and directed investigations to ensure compliance with the civil rights laws enforced by
OCR,” including Title VI and Section 504. 2015 OCR Manual, Introduction. The 2015 OCR
Manual set out the process by which OCR staff received and investigated complaints from
individuals who allege that a person or entity that receives funding from the DOE has violated
the civil rights laws by illegally discriminating on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex,
disability, or age. Id.
The retelling history of the changes to the Case Processing Manual started with the
coming of former Secretary for OCR Kenneth Marcus. Since the day Kenneth Marcus came to
the Department of Education and chaos ensued, ethics were lost, lawyers committed moral
turpitude, and they all saw Kenneth Marcus’ leaked videos. No reform was applied, in fact under
former President Donald Trump; they wanted to destroy the entire Department of Education by
merging it with the Labor Department.21 But with every evil move, they met public resistance.
The 2015 OCR Manual allowed timely complaints that were within OCR’s jurisdiction to
be dismissed prior to opening an investigation in three circumstances, namely, (1) if the
complaint, on its face, failed to state a claim of violation of one of the laws that OCR enforces,
(2) if it lacked sufficient detail for OCR to infer that discrimination has occurred, or (3) if it was

so speculative, conclusory or incoherent that OCR could not infer that discrimination had
occurred. Id. § 108.
The 2015 Manual also provided that, if an investigation concluded that the preponderance
of the evidence did not support a conclusion that the recipient had violated applicable law, OCR
would issue a letter of findings explaining the reasons for its decision. 2015 Manual § 303. The
2015 Manual stated that “OCR affords an opportunity to the complainant to appeal” such a letter
of findings to the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement who issues the letter. 2015 OCR
Manual §§ 303(a) and 306, page 24.22

Notice of the appeal process is provided to complainants in the information sheet, “OCR Complaint
Processing Procedures.” OCR’s appeal process is also available at
http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/coniDlaints-liow.html.
The complainant must send a written appeal to the Enforcement Office Director of the Enforcement
Office that issued the determination. All documentation to support the appeal must be submitted with the
complainant’s appeal, hi an appeal, the complainant must explain why he or she believes the factual
information was incomplete, die analysis of the facts was incorrect, and/or the appropriate legal standard
was not applied, and how this would change OCR’s determination in the case. Failure to do so may result
in the denial of the appeal.
The appeal process of the Manual was also left untouched with no limits to the number of
pages an appeal needs to be, along with the only agency and/or person who rules on the appeal is
OCR Headquarter; mainly the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement; in this case,
currently Mr. Randolph Wills, (See Page 8 of the OIG Complaint against Kenneth Marcus filed
by multiple civil right organizations).23 See Exhibit 5, letter to the Inspector General from
multiple civil right organizations against Kenneth Marcus.
Within the OIG Complaint against Kenneth Marcus, a FOIA request revealed a pending
183 appeals before the desk of Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement, in this case,
Randolph Wills; only two were re-opened for an investigation.24 See page 8 of the complaint.

Indeed, if one considers an even broader time period of almost six years (from December 11,
2012, to November 5, 2018) in which 743 appeals were resolved by OCR’s Deputy Assistant
All these OCR appeals were affected by the arbitrary and capricious changes to the OCR
manual; not counting Kenneth Marcus personally granting Zoa’s appeal on August 27, 2018 and
within it, implementing the IHRA definition, long before the Former President Donald Trump
signed his (Executive Order) on December 11, 2019 to implement the IHRA definition without
congress intent which would not trump the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) process.25
On Dec. 11, 2019 Former President Trump lobbied by right wing Jewish lobby and
Sheldon Adelson (who gave Trump 424 million +100 million)26 issued an Executive Order (EO)
stating that, “[I]t shall be the policy of the executive branch to enforce Title VI [of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964] against prohibited forms of discrimination rooted in anti-Semitism as
vigorously as against all other forms of discrimination prohibited by Title VI.” What is new is
that the EO directs executive branch agencies and departments charged with enforcing Title VI
to consider the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s (IHRA) definition of antiSemitism when investigating allegations of anti-Jewish discrimination (i.e., when they review an
Office of Civil Rights (OCR) complaint). See Exhibit 6, Can a President Amend Regulations by
Executive Order?
B.
The Changes to the OCR Manual (2018 version) was Arbitrary and Capricious
In March 2018 under the leadership of Kenneth Marcus, OCR issued a new “U.S.
Department of Education, Office for Civil Rights, Case Processing Manual.” The Introduction to
the 2018 OCR Manual states:
The Case Processing Manual (CPM) provides OCR with the procedures to promptly and
effectively investigate and resolve complaints, compliance reviews, and directed investigations
to ensure compliance with the civil rights laws and regulations enforced by OCR; 2018 OCR
Manual, Introduction. Upon information and belief, the 2018 Manual replaces the 2015 OCR

Manual. Unlike the 2015 OCR Manual, dismissal is mandatory §108(t), and there is no
requirement that the previous complaints have been found to be without merit, or even that the
undefined “pattern” involves the same or similar allegations.
The first change (“Rule Change 1”) means that, as of March 5, 2018, OCR will no
longer investigate a claim of illegal discrimination if the claim is part of “a pattern” of
complaints by an individual complainant against multiple recipients. “Pattern” is undefined and
may cover as few as two complaints, involving different allegations against different entities
over an unspecified period of time. This provision, as written, is not limited to those complaints
that would place an “unreasonable burden” on OCR. Nor is this provision limited to instances
where the prior complaints were meritless.
This new restriction affects both individuals who have been subjected to more than one
incident of illegal discrimination and organizations that represent individuals who cannot afford
to bring claims on their own. The latter groups often submit claims over time for multiple
individuals against multiple recipients. These groups include entities like Plaintiffs, civil rights
advocates and attorneys, and the Protection and Advocacy systems, which are federally
authorized and funded to pursue administrative, legal and other claims of discrimination on
behalf of individuals with disabilities under 54 U.S.C. § 15043, 29 U.S.C. § 3004, and 42 U.S.C.
§ 10803-07.
According to the language of §108(t) of the 2018 OCR Manual, such entities will be
blocked from bringing multiple claims on behalf of their multiple constituents. Because DOE
provided no opportunity for notice and comment. In addition, the 2018 Manual precludes any
civil right organization and/or individuals from bringing a single complaint against multiple
recipients (even if those recipients acted together), if OCR, in its sole judgment, and on the basis
of unknown factors, decides that investigating would place an undefined “unreasonable burden”
on OCR’s resources (“Rule Change 2”).
These two distinct and substantive changes mean that, as of March 5, 2018, OCR has
unilaterally eliminated a right of claimants that was created by the DOE’s regulations and
maintained in prior Case Processing Manuals: the right to have one’s claim of discrimination
investigated if it indicates a possible failure to comply with federal civil rights laws.
Rule Changes 1 and 2 to the 2018 OCR Manual were arbitrary, capricious, and not in accordance
with law.

“I came to complete not to refute. I came light to the World.''’ Jesus Christ
In addition to adding § 108(t), DOE made a third change that eliminated complainants’
right to appeal OCR findings of insufficient evidence (“Rule Change 3”).
The 2015 OCR Manual included a right for complainants to appeal OCR decisions to
close their complaints for lack of evidence. In the 2018 OCR Manual, DOE eliminated the entire
“Appeals” section. There is no provision in the 2018 OCR Manual offering an appeal or
reconsideration of an OCR determination not to pursue a claim of discrimination. The appeal
right was eliminated without notice and comment and without any stated rationale to support it.
None of the three 2018 OCR Manual rule changes is merely an interpretative rule, a
general statement of policy, or a rule of agency organization, procedure, or practice. All the
changes shift and affect rights and interests of complainants, and make substantive changes to
prior rules. Therefore, all three changes were required to be subject to notice and comment under
the APA.
DOE did not comply with the federal APA rule-making procedures set out in 5 U.S.C.
Chapter 5, §§ 551, et seq., before issuing the 2018 OCR Manual. The proposed 2018 OCR
Manual was not published in the Federal Register, nor were public comments on the proposal
sought, received, or considered, prior to the 2018 OCR Manual’s adoption. The public did not
have an opportunity for notice and comment before the Manual was adopted and put into effect.
C.
Continued Arbitrary and Capricious action taken by OCR
After a public uproar and litigation, OCR backtracked by amending their manual and re
opened all dismissed complaints (reached settlement agreement on February 4, 2020).27
However, again without any published notice in the Federal Register, comments, and discussion
on the regulation, Office for Civil Rights has done two things to the manual under both the
Trump’s and the Biden’s cabinet leaderships; OCR August 26, 2020 Manual (latest version) and
January 19, 2021 the official adoption of the (IHRA definition). The changes were as follows:
(A) Weakening the appeal process by limiting the appeal to 10 page double space with no
time frame provided to rule on the appeal, and without mentioning who rules on the appeal, yet
the appeal is asked to be mailed to OCR headquarter address; never to any regional offices. The
appeal procedure is written in a way that is vague, unclear, and provides no time frame for mling
on the appeal; rendering due process rights an illusion. The appeal procedure is written in a way
27 See https://browngold.com/wp-content/iiploads/2020/08/Countersigned-Settlement-Agreement-ACE-DOE.pdf

“I came to complete not to refute. I came light to the World.” Jesus Christ
which makes the appeal process a never independent process but rather it relays on pleasing the
Masters who rule over a federal building i.e., Office For Civil Rights; here due process was
denied again for many; equity and equality was denied for many as well (“Rule Change 4”); and
(B) Without any notice published in the Federal Register or public comments, or even
congress adopting such definition, Office for Civil Rights adopted the IHRA definition, first by
Kenneth Marcus himself when he granted Zoa’s appeal under the definition without congress
intent on August 27, 2018.28 And later OCR continued and enforced the IHRA definition under
the leadership of Suzanne Goldberg under the Biden’s administration (both Kenneth Marcus and
Suzanne Goldberg are Jews); a definition which makes the Jewish people superior in every way
compare to the Gentiles (“Rule Change 5”).29
None of the changes to the OCR Manual went through the normal channels of the
regulatory process i.e., the APA. However, some rules were removed due to the past litigation
and others were added after National Federation of the Blind, the Council of Parent Attorneys
and Advocates, Inc., and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Inc
settled with the Department of Education.30
Even after an agreed settlement was signed and approved by the United States District
Court for the District of Maryland, OCR added rules without again following the proper
regulatory channels such as changing the appeal process entirely; not just restricting the appeal to
a 10 page double space violating Complainants’ due process by limiting their ability to file a
proper appeal, but also failed to disclose who shall handle ruling on Complainants’ appeals; last
time it was Kenneth Marcus personally ruling on Zoa’s appeal and inserting the IHRA definition
without Departments’ higher rank approval, congress intent, or even former President Donald
Trump’s executive order at that time; hence one time the Secretary for OCR will rule on an
appeal and another time, someone else like in Plaintiffs case, OCR Dallas or OCR Denver, a
regional office will rule on the appeal and another time it is the Deputy Assistant Secretary for
Enforcement. The entire appeal process was destroyed by the Defendants’ own actions and
Defendants’ changes to the Case Processing Manual were arbitrary and capricious to this very
day.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND ON IHRA AND THE SEMETIC TRIBES
L
THE IHRA DEFINITION & KENNETH MARCUS: OCR MISSION IN LIMBO
The Department of Education, Office for Civil rights is responsible for enforcing the civil
rights statutes applicable to educational institutions. Anyone encountering discrimination can file
an OCR complaint of discrimination, including any student or person who believes that an
educational institution that receives federal financial assistance has discriminated against
someone on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, disability, or age; (religion
discrimination) is excluded and not investigated by OCR but rather the Department of Justice
(“DOJ”), education section.31
Providing an education free from discrimination and retaliation is the central mission of
Office for Civil Rights (OCR). When an institution of higher education fails to provide an
education free from discrimination and/or retaliation, Office for Civil rights has the duty and the
responsibility to provide an antidote to a virus called “evil”; failure to provide remedies, not only
violates OCR special mission “to ensure equal access to education and to promote educational
excellence through vigorous enforcement of civil rights in our nation’s schools.”
https://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/aboutocr.html but also render the civil right act moot
on its face.
The adoption of the IHRA definition has opened Pandora’s Box for OCR to investigate
religion discrimination which was one of Plaintiff’s requests to investigate Jews discriminating
against a Coptic for hating Jesus Christ; even Plaintiffs initial complaint cited his religion
“Christian Coptic.” See Exhibit 1 Declaration of Mark M. Bochra (Bochra Decl), see Exhibit 23
and Exhibit 24 Plaintiffs discrimination and retaliation complaints with DOJ which was later
handled by OCR.

The Afro-Asiatic Languages Are Semitic Speaking People
To say that the word anti-Semitism is pertaining only to the Jewish people, is the lie of
the century. The term anti-Semitism was coined in 1879 by the German agitator (Wilhelm
Marr)32 to designate the anti-Jewish campaigns under way in central Europe at that time.
Although the term now has wide currency, it is a misnomer, since it implies a discrimination

against all Semites. Arabs and other peoples are also Semites, and yet they are not the targets of
anti-Semitism as it is usually understood.
Plaintiff has advocated in letters to both the legislative and executive branches to go back
to the origin (good vs. evil) for the eyes to see better rather than being distorted with labels.
However, humans love labels, it empowers their identity. Hence, Plaintiff will disclose who are
the Semitic speaking people because the Plaintiff himself speaks Arabic and that is a Semitic
language; see the Afro-Asiatic Languages, formerly called Hamito-Semitic.33
The Semitic phylum contains some of the most well-known languages to those in western
cultures: Hebrew, Arabic, Akkadian, Phoenician, Syriac, and Ugaritic. Others include Amharic,
Eblaite, ESA, Ethiopic, Gurage, Harari, Harsusi, Lihyanite, Nehri, Moabite, Punic, Sheri,
Soqotri, Tamudic, Tigre, and Tigrina. The Semitic languages are spoken in much of northern
Africa and the Near East.34

Throughout antiquity, Egypt was known as the breadbasket of the world. The annual
flooding of the Nile produced rich harvests, and when famine hit neighboring lands, starving
peoples often made their way to the fruitful soils of Egypt. The archaeological record clearly
shows that at least some of these peoples were of Semitic origin, coming from Canaan
specifically and the Levant in general. In fact, the histories of both the Egyptian upper kingdom
(ruled from Thebes in southern Egypt) and the lower kingdom (ruled from Avaris in the north),

and Canaan were intimately tied together. Starting over 4,000 years ago, Semites began crossing
the deserts from Israel into Egypt. The story of Joseph, the King of Dreams, the Hebrew who
married an Egyptian Asenath, from a slave who was sold by his own brothers to a Pharaoh of
Egypt is the biblical proof to the origin.35 A Hebrew married an Egyptian giving birth to a new
child for that same reason “Out of Egypt, I called my son” see Exhibit G pages 89-94, ECF No. 9
And Pharaoh named Joseph Zaphenath Pa'neach, and he gave him Asenath the daughter
of Poti phera, the governor of On, for a wife, and Joseph went forth over the land of
Egypt [Genesis 41:45].36

The History of the IHRA Definition
The IHRA definition was a definition used by the U.S. Department of State and later in
expanded form by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance, the definition itself was
nothing more than a way of using (soft power) to influence other countries. The IHRA definition
35 See https://voutu.be/QWiJ8VQXJzY and see https://voutu.be/ oAmhSm84o4 (From a slave to a Pharaoh)

“I came to complete not to refute. I came light to the World.''’ Jesus Christ
never allowed the Jewish people to gain the hearts of multitudes, rather it wanted to control
hearts of multitudes.37
The actual IHRA working definition is 38 words long and reads as follows: “AntiSemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews.
Rhetorical and physical manifestations of anti-Semitism are directed toward Jewish or nonJewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious
facilities.”
It is at best vague and at worst meaningless, failing to identify anti-Semitism as a form of
racism or identifying the actual dangers to Jewish and other radicalized groups. It includes 11
examples which serve to limit discussion of Israel’s violations of human rights, and regards
naming Israel a “racist endeavor” and the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign as
anti-Semitic. Crucially, the working definition has been widely criticized by over 40 Jewish
organizations globally, by Israeli academics and by the definition’s author, Kenneth Stern; “I
drafted the definition of anti-Semitism. Rightwing Jews are weaponizing it. ,>38
Indeed, a group of Jewish and Israeli scholars developed the Jerusalem Declaration on
Anti-Semitism to respond to the IHRA definition, which they deemed to have “caused confusion
. . . generated controversy, hence weakening the fight against anti-Semitism.” The Jerusalem
Declaration links anti-Semitism and racism, and argues for freedom of expression. It has more
than 200 signatories. The IHRA definition elevates anti-Semitism over other forms of racism,
thus isolating victims of anti-Semitism and precluding solidarity between radicalized population
groups.39 The true definition is the simple meaning of (good vs. evil), the basic foundation but
humans likes labels because it empowers their identities.
c.
The IHRA Definition and the International Forum
Indeed, the IHRA definition cannot stop the International Criminal Court (ICC)
investigation into Israel war crimes against the Palestinians.40 The same is true, the IHRA
definition cannot stop the current ongoing litigation against the Israeli lobby that was reversed in

3-0 decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit; Al-Tamimi v. Adelson, No. 175207 (D.C. Cir. 2019) 41 In a recent court ruling, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit
revived a $1 billion lawsuit by Palestinians seeking to hold billionaire (Sheldon Adelson)42 and
more than 30 other pro-Israel defendants liable for alleged genocide, war crimes, and support of
Israeli settlements in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip.43
The IHRA definition was only a foreign policy used for the purpose of foreign affairs for
the benefit of Israel but it was never a definition to be used domestically because the United
States of America is guided by the U.S. Constitution and more importantly the founding fathers
envisioned America to be build on the teachings of Jesus Christ (see Doctrines of Jesus
Compared with Others, 21 April 1803).44
Directing federal agencies to rely on this framework in enforcing Title VI would
effectively order nearly every campus in the country to censor its students and faculty on the
basis of viewpoints — in this case, and when it came to Plaintiffs protected rights, it wasn’t just
protected speech that was violated but IHRA showed that Jewish Supremacy created an
environment of injustice, Am. Compl.
10-12, ECF No. 9.45 The parable to the world has
shown that when the oppressed gain power, they often become oppressors themselves and all
participate in injustice, actively or passively, even unintentionally.
D.
The IHRA Definition Destroyed Title VI: Created Equal No Longer is True
The IHRA definition provides the Jewish people with a set of privileges above the
Gentiles or students who fit different classes other than a Jewish identity. For example, the set of
provided privileges can be viewed as definitive for the Jewish students compare to the Gentiles
(referred to as Goys by the Jews)46 even if a Jewish student commits evil and wickedness against
a non-Jewish student as it happened to the Plaintiff, who is a Coptic.47

self-determination.” In this instance, Plaintiff, a Coptic Christian student who attended Florida
Coastal School of Law, suffered direct and intentional discrimination and retaliation at the hands
of several Jews, was denied education, was denied the right to self-determination; See Exhibit 7
Plaintiff's memos 1-3 explaining this painful saga. The outcome was the perpetrator, Michael
Roy Guttentag, a Jewish student was able to receive his education, transferred out of Florida
Coastal School of Law, and attended a law school in New York, and was admitted to the New
York Bar, not the Florida Bar because he was reported to the Florida Bar who opened a file
under his name.48 See Exhibit 8, letter from Executive Director Michele A. Gavagni to Mark
Bochra, Florida Board of Bar Examiners. The Jewish person in this case despite being the evil
one, received his education, and the victim, a Coptic person was denied the right to education
and the right to self-determination. To substantiate this fact, OCR never in its findings mentioned
that the involved student was Jewish nor his professor (Benjamin Priester)49 was Jewish either,
nor the dean of student’s affair (Lauren Levine)50 was Jewish. Furthermore, the Plaintiff is the
only Coptic complainant in OCR database and OCR has with intent discriminated and retaliated
against the Plaintiff across the span of 4 years by violating the OCR manual face on; ignoring
Plaintiffs due process rights; destroying Plaintiffs witness list and even the key witnesses who
were interviewed by OCR were never mentioned within OCR findings.
(b) The IHRA definition states “applying double standards by requiring of it a behavior
not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation” sic. In this case, the double standards
were already applied against the Coptic student, the Plaintiff Mark Bochra and in favor of the

dispersing anyone who brings them liability.

“I came to complete not to refute. I came light to the World." Jesus Christ
Jewish student. When the Federal Government covered up and protected the perpetrator who was
Jewish, and denied the Plaintiff his right to education free from discrimination and retaliation.
(c) The IHRA definition states “accusing the Jews as a people” sic. Opening up the
window to define a Jewish person as both a race and a religion. The asked question to this
honorable court is what is the definition of a Jew? Is a Jew who follows Jesus Christ a Jew?51 Is a
Jew who is atheist a Jew?52 Is a Jew who only follows the Old Testament a Jew? Rabbi Yaakov
Shapiro answers the definition of a Jew by explaining the following.53
Jewishness is one consistent definition. It is religious doctrine means as follows: there are
no identifiable characteristics that all Jews share. That means there is no such thing as a
definition of a Jew in terms of characteristics. It is not ethnicity, it is not a race, and it is
not a religion but who is a Jew is a religious doctrine, sic; explained Rabbi Yaakov
Shapiro.
(d) The IHRA definition states “Jews did not kill Jesus Christ” sic, hence it shows a
profound hate, for Jews to hate one of their own; because Jesus Christ is the son of King David,
the seed of Judah; for he is Jewish himself, the true messiah of the Jewish people.54 A clear
example of the Jewish hatred could be directly related to when Senator Graham asked Justice
Elena Kagan “where were you at on Christmas day?” and Justice Kagan replied while grinding
on her teeth “like all Jews, I was probably at a Chinese restaurant.”55 Does the symbol of the
cross, the symbol for salvation to many; according to IHRA is a symbol of anti-Semitism?
Hence, when a Jewish person discriminates and retaliates against a Coptic person because
of his faith in Jesus Christ, how can the IHRA definition stands? By Defendants’ own hands, the
Plaintiff did not only suffer continued discrimination and retaliation in law school, but at the
hands of federal officials at the Department of Education, Office for Civil Rights (“OCR”).
E.
The IHRA Definition is the Use of Soft Power inside the United States of America
The IHRA definition seeks nothing more than power and control; when in doubt, look at
how the Jewish people treat each others in Israel. For example, where would the IHRA definition
stands when a Jewish person accuses another Jewish person of being a Goy i.e., a Gentile?

Haredi MK Yaakov Litzman calls KarivGilad “this priest” for fighting for the rights of
the Reform community. “You are not a rabbi, you are a priesthe tells Kariv, a Reform
rabbi. “Remove your kippah. Gov (aentile)... Go to America” said in the Jewish congress
Knesset.56
Far right member of the Jewish lobby, Ellie Cohanim, who is a friend with Kenneth Marcus,
said the following behind her ambition for the adoption of the IHRA definition “[T]he antiSemitism czar would be a “domestic diplomat” with the ability to persuade Hollywood, social
media influencers, rap stars, athletes, elected officials, government bureaucrats, teachers,
academics and thought leaders generally, to understand when they have crossed the line into
anti-Semitism through their speech or actions”; sic.51
Many Jews and non-Jews rejected the IHRA definition and warned against using it as a law.
1) Canada: academics vote to reject IHRA definition of anti-Semitism.58
2) I drafted the definition of anti-Semitism. Rightwing Jews are weaponizing it.59
3) Anti-Semitism must not be elevated over other racism. 60
4) Progressive Jewish groups oppose codification of IHRA anti-Semitism definition.61
Former President Donald Trump did not sign the executive order adopting the IHRA definition
out of love for the Jewish people but to expose the Jewish lobby wickedness within their own
hearts; given his recent interview with Israeli journalist Barak Ravid, during which Donald
Trump lamented that Israel’s “absolute power over Congress” had declined during the Obama
administration.
In a covert remark, former President Donald Trump asserted Israel power over Congress.62
As quoted by the (Press TV)63 — Trump inadvertently blurted out unmentionable truths
about the outrageous power of the Jewish lobby, which has hijacked not just the legislative
branch, but the whole US government, in part due to its stranglehold over the media [...] The
Jewish lobby has a disproportionate influence over the US government as well as the media.

Sociologist James Petras’s book The Power of Israel in the United States explores how
dozens of Jewish billionaires, thousands of Jewish millionaires, and hundreds of thousands of
rabid Jewish foot soldiers have terrorized the United States into submission to the will of
Israel. [...] No well-informed person would dispute Trump’s claim that Israel has something
close to absolute power over the US Congress, thanks to its vast outlays of bribes,
euphemistically described as “campaign contributions.”64 Those interested in the history of
Israel’s takeover of the United States should begin by reading Laurent Guyenot’s books JFK9/11, The Unspoken Kennedy Truth, and From Yahweh to Zion. . . Following up on Michael
Collins Piper’s book Final Judgment, Guyenot shows how JFK was dedicated to forcing the
Jewish lobby to resister as foreisn asents. taking currency creation out of the hands of
private bankers, and shutting down Israel’s nuclear program. . .According to Guyenot,
Kennedy butted heads with David Ben-Gurion and the Kosher Nostra and suffered the
consequences.
Indeed, Israel does have nuclear weapons which are illegal under a law passed in the 1970s that
prohibits aid to nuclear powers who don’t sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. In an
interview in December, President-elect Joe Biden cautioned that if Iran went nuclear, Saudi
Arabia, Turkey and Egypt might too, “and the last goddamn thing we need in that part of the
world is a buildup of nuclear capability” wrote Peter Beinart on the New York Times.65

Desmond Tutu is a Nobel peace laureate and a former archbishop of Cape Town. 66
2) How the Israelis Hoodwinked JFK on Going Nuclear.

All of these recited articles and major world topics were part of a foreign policy to use either
hard power (wars) or soft power (political pressure) for the good of Israel, but with IHRA being
adopted in the United States, it has merged foreign and domestic policies as one. As mentioned
within Plaintiffs amended complaint Dkt 9 and recited by Defendants’ own hands within their
motion to dismiss, they recited the truth, see Dkt 28 page 6 of Defendants’ motion to dismiss.
E.g., Am. Comp 71-72, ECF No. 9 (“The IHRA definition calls good-evil, and evil-good;
it calls light-darkness and darkness-light; it calls hate-love and love-hate. [...] The first major
issue with the IHRA definition is to claim that Jews did not kill Jesus Christ and that
claiming so is anti-Semitic”); wrote Sarah Terman, the Justice Department lawyer.
The IHRA definition has itself destroyed the Department of Education, Office for Civil
Rights’ mission, rending it moot and is bringing chaos to college campuses because the main

issue was Kenneth Marcus wanted to control hearts using his “law” rather than win “hearts”
through hard work and persuasions; Kenneth Marcus wanted to be a master rather than a
servant.68 Not only has the IHRA definition personally injured the Plaintiff but it has destroyed
OCR mission which needs this Honorable Court immediate attention through an injunction and a
declaratory relief. The IHRA definition is not even adopted in Israel.
FACTUAL BACKGROUND
I.
DISCRIMINATION BY JEWS AGAINST A COPTIC: MARK BOCHRA
When one looks at Plaintiffs story suffering discrimination and retaliation with intent
and malice; one could say “this is not a story but a tale for God is with a child, named Mark.” At
every comer, the Plaintiff suffered discrimination and retaliation at the hands of evil Jews not
only in law school i.e., Florida Coastal School of Law which was shut down by the Department
of Education, but also when Jews held power and took control of Office for Civil Rights; when
former secretary Candice Jackson left OCR and Kenneth Marcus became the new secretary for
OCR; one was a Christian Secretary and the latter was a Jewish Secretary; a far right, part of the
Israeli lobby.
See Exhibit 9, a letter opposing the nomination of Kenneth Marcus by the Leadership
Conference on Civil and Human Rights dated February 21, 2018. Vanita Gupta the current
associate attorney general, the second highest DOJ official in the Biden’s department of justice
administration was the author of the letter, the president and the CEO of Leadership Conference
on Civil and Human Rights wherein, she was opposing the confirmation of Kenneth Marcus as
Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights.69
Plaintiff suffered injuries both in law school and by OCR officials and to retell his story,
it needs some close up reading of the facts, the evidence, and the chain of events which OCR
officials tried to destroy many times; it needs a Judge with a kind heart.

Within the Department of Education motion to dismiss, they briefly recited lies upon a lie
because they could not disclose the merits of the case before this honorable court that they were
actually negotiating a resolution agreement for nearly 2 years given the egregious set of
discrimination and retaliation that took place. This case was destined to be passed to the justice
department for prosecution pursuant to the OCR manual section 305 and 602 and Melanie Velez
Atlanta OCR director own words over the phone to the Plaintiff, that if negotiation failed,
Impending Enforcement Action will follow. See Dkt. 9
