The History and Future of the Office for Civil Rights

The Atlantic has an interesting (and long) article today about the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR). This office is perhaps one of the most controversial parts of the DoE, and has played an important role (for better or worse) in Education policy since its inception in 1964 under the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare.

Say what you will about this OCR, but if it were eliminated or have its legs cut off, as many people argue for, what would replace it? Who would enforce Federal Civil Rights laws? If you do not agree with this office, is the right answer to eliminate the laws that it enforces (age, race, sex, disability discrimination in schools)? If that isn't the answer, what is the best solution?
