We also need an A.G. who will coffle the current A.G. Much of the lawlessness leads back to Holder, starting with his non-prosecution of the New Black Panthers who were intimidating white voters in Philadelphia. Holder’s argument that “Black people have endured worse in the past” would get a sustained objection of “irrelevant” in any fair court in the land.

Back in the days when I was actively practicing law, I used to pass the Sheriff’s Entrance on my way into the Court House, observing a coffle of shackled prisoners doing what we referred to as the “Marlboro Shuffle.” Under the Obama Regime, it is the true Patriots who are shackled.

One statement declared that she was following the dress code. (Is there a dress code for hair length?) I can say that after watching the video, I clearly could not tell her gender. That does not translate to gender confusion, though. More complicated than that. School uniforms would settle a lot of this hot mess. So does pulling her out of the school. The grandparents, IMHO, have no basis for a lawsuit. Not enough info to really make a clear judgement, and thankfully, I don’t need to.

there can be a dresscode for hair length. there certainly was for boy’s hair length when xsboy was in middle school, and he was told more than once to get it cut and off we went to do so. if the school felt there was a biblical basis in requiring longer hair on girls, then yeah it would be in the dress code.
and really, since when do we allow our 8 yo’s to decide what they are going to wear and how long to keep their hair? you tell them that if you want to go to this school this is what you wear and this is how you do your hair. period.

what you said is what I would tell my children, and have. the boys went to Catholic grade school, after all. the nuns could be very strict.

Since Obama was elected, we’ve all been living in a Bizarro world where good is bad, up is down, yes is no. I hope we survive long enough to undo the damage.

There is also a story going around about a girl who shaved her head in solidarity with a friend with cancer and now she is in trouble with her school’s policies.

They’re going to have a special meeting of the school board to see if they can make an exception.
