Full title: Why a Middle School Was Ordered to Tear Down Its Brand-New Baseball Bleachers Will Likely Have Small-Gov’t Advocates Shaking Their Heads

The government hates boys.

[GeronL]

Pure insanity. They should rebuild it on private property! And reap concession sales

[TheZMan]

I’d like to meet whoever it was that issued the original complaint. Once someone complains, obviously our stupid government is going to swoop to the rescue. I want to know who picked up the phone and vomited into the mouthpiece.

[Fledermaus]

Insane.

Parents need to sue the government under the takings clause.

The school agreed to tear down the new bleachers after government officials issued a citation.

That was their first mistake.

If a high level bureaucrat disappeared every time there is an idiotic event like this, maybe they would start to think twice about their gross over-reach and subjugation of a once free people. Just sayin’.

[tacticalogic]

Is it still too soon to shoot the bastards?

[Stosh]

So if they moved the girls to the boys field, and the boys to the girls field, would they still have to tear it down?

[Red Badger]

If it was paid for by private funds, why is it anybody in the government’s business?.........................

Visualize waking up tomorrow and learning that overnight, D.C. had been mysteriously converted to a field of daisies. Buildings gone, people gone. Gone like it was never there. Would the public be overall in better hands with a field of daisies? I’m beginning to think so. The daisies would not nag, they would not spy, tax, dictate, bother, threaten, harass, or lie. The daisies would just sit their, looking kind of pretty. It’s a nice dream.

Another reason to NEVER vote DemocRAT AGAIN!!!

Title VII.

There's the problem right there.

“...and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.” - DOI, 1776

[Jim from C-Town]

The proper response for this and many other Federal orders is to say NO!

[sphinx]

And if some dads had gotten together and built something nice for their daughters, I'm sure it would have been ripped right down too.

Right?

Right?

In the age where a leftist like Obama can be elected president, these kind of actions will be the normal in the not-too-distant future. That’s the way leftists think.

[Wuli]

You see “equal ‘opportunity’ “ is NOT about equal “opportunity”. It is instead about equal “result” and if boys and girls do not chose to participate in “school, team sports” equally, and parents do not voluntarily contribute to such involvement “equally”, then that constitutes “disparate impact” (result) and while it may confirm and conform with people’s choices it does not conform to government mandated and artificially “equal” participation.

[grundle]

Thanks for alerting us to this specific example of Obama’s idiocy.
