§ 12901 Civil Rights Department Creation

• •There is a special group in the California government called the Civil Rights Department.

• •The Director can be fired by the Governor at any time.
• •The Director gets paid a salary set by another part of the law.

Imagine your school has a club that makes sure everyone is treated fairly.

The Civil Rights Department is like that club, but for the whole state. The leader of the club is chosen by the principal (like the Governor), and the principal can change the leader whenever they want.
