Which would be fine, I suppose, except they’re trying to ‘own’ other people’s children as well by keeping ‘smut’ out of everyone’s reach.
I think there’s a limit to how much one owns one’s own children, as well. Parents/guardians are certainly in control of a lot of things about them, and should be; but children don’t belong to parents like shoes do, or even like dogs do.
Hopefully a career limiting manoever. Assuming the airline takes it seriously. Pretty scary, I’m sure.
One of the responses I saw on Twitter to that bit of new is:
“Moms for Liberty” is Klanned Karenhood.
Geography-challenged woman murders her Uber Driver
Detectives believe Copas was in El Paso to visit her boyfriend, according to a complaint affidavit obtained by KTSM. She was in the backseat of the Uber en route to meet him at a casino when she saw roadway signs stating “Juarez, Mexico,” which is across the border from El Paso, according to the affidavit.
Believing she was being kidnapped and taken to Mexico, Copas shot the driver, causing the vehicle, a Nissan Maxima, to strike a highway barrier and come to a stop along U.S. 54 South, police said.
It’s not her fault! Blame the school system! /s
“Karen’s got a gun…”
Her whole world’s come undone.
I’m pitting the school and the schmucks who wasted money pushing this to SCOTUS.
I just keep thinking of what the reaction would have been if I’d tried telling my fifth grade teacher, and my mother who backed her, that it was unconstitutional to make me wear a skirt to school!
Public school (USA meaning), 1960.
I wonder what the scope of that ruling is. Does it prohibit all differences in dress code between male and female students? Does it distinguish between a dress code with rules, but which still leaves students some degree of choice, versus specific required uniforms? What about single-gender schools?
Although, the all-girls school I currently work with does allow khakis in lieu of skirts, and all of the co-ed schools I’ve worked at have the same code for all students (some kinds of dress code violations are more common for one gender or the other, of course, but a boy baring his midriff or a girl sagging her pants would both still be in violation).
My wife went to a private christian elementary school and got in trouble for wearing gym shorts under her mandatory uniform skirt. From what I can tell, there’s two motivating factors for this sort of thing:
- Requiring girls to wear clothes that will render them indecent when doing “unladylike” things, forcing them to behave a certain way.
- School admins with schoolgirl fetishes.
Obviously, neither of these are acceptable. School kids should all be held to the same standard, and creeps should be held as far away from kids as possible.
The case largy rested on whether that charter school is to be treated as a public school, only managed by a private entity, or is it to be treated as a private school, just paid for by the state. The lower courts said the first, which means they are a state actor and must provide equal protection of rights. SCOTUS declined to hear the school’s appeal w/o comment (which is often a way of saying why tf are you coming here for that?).
They probably thought the “wink, wink, nudge, nudge” bit would work since that seems to be most of the schtick behind public funding of charters in the first place.
How were they to know SCOTUS still wanted them to actually keep up appearances?
And from the Great White North, key on white, we have this bit of drama:
At a walk-in clinic in Mississauga, Ontario, a Canadian woman whose son was suffering from chest pains demanded that he only be treated by a “white doctor,” and others witnessing the ordeal did not hesitate to point out her intolerable behavior.
It was a state court, not SCOTUS.
“The US Supreme Court has left in place a lower court decision ruling that a North Carolina school cannot require its female students to wear skirts.**
They tried to get it to SCOTUS and the Supreme Court refused to hear it was my understanding.
Yep, it was raised to SCOTUS and SCOTUS answered “yeah, what they said”.
WTF. (I also can’t figure out what prompted Google to put this in my news feed.)
The article is a bit hard to parse, but best I can tell nobody was put in jail, and nobody was arrested. He took his own child to the station as punishment and told him he was being arrested.
Not great parenting, but objectively he just took his child to work.
