Now, we're getting somewhere. The judge that ordered Kim Davis to be jailed for not breaking the law, but opposing his unlawful orders, is the same judge behind re-educating (indoctrinating) Kentucky student who opposed sodomy. That judge, a Bush appointee no less, was none other than US District Judge David Bunning.
In 2003, the communist American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) sued the Boyd County Board of Education. The suit was to bully the Boyd County High School into allowing a "gay-straight" alliance club to meet. Parents overwhelmingly spoke out against the club, but to no avail. (Hint: Parents who love your kids, get them out of these indoctrination centers now!)
This same group, the ACLU, is also the same organization that filed suit against Kim Davis.
Judge Bunning ordered the allowance of the sodomite-straight club on campus, despite the fact that he had no jurisdiction to do so.
He wrote in his ruling, "Absent a preliminary injunction, plaintiffs will be unable to meet at school, unable to benefit from a forum for discussion with other students who are suffering the effects of harassment based on sexual orientation, and unable to work with other students to foster tolerance among all students."
Christian News reports:
But Bunning also required the school district to implement training as part of a settlement, which mandated school staff and students to undergo diversity education, "a significant portion of which would be devoted to issues of sexual orientation and gender harassment."
However, a number of students objected to being forced to watch a video that asserted that it is wrong to oppose homosexuality and that a person's sexuality cannot be changed. They discovered that they could not opt-out of the training without being penalized, and contacted the legal organization Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) for assistance.
ADF then sued the Boyd County Board of Education over the matter on behalf of student Timothy Morrison and his parents, who said that the re-education requirement "effectively forces the students to speak in agreement with the school district's view that homosexuality is a safe and healthy lifestyle that cannot be changed."
But in 2006, Bunning again ruled that the students must watch the video and could not opt-out because of their Christian identity, stating that the education "rationally related to a legitimate educational goal, namely to maintain a safe environment." He said that the training wouldn't mean that students would have to change their religious beliefs, therefore, an opt-out was unnecessary.
Bunning then denied the students request who were refusing the training.
"Plaintiffs are not requesting that a student absent from the training be considered an 'excused' or that the Board offer an alternate assignment on the issue of diversity. Rather, they seek to opt-out of the training altogether," Bunning wrote.
"Given the requirements of the consent decree, the Board cannot meet this demand. Moreover, as there is no burden on plaintiffs' freedom of speech, free exercise or other constitutional right, there is simply no basis for an opt-out," he added.
He then appealed to a First Circuit ruling, in which he noted, "If all parents had a fundamental constitutional right to dictate individually what the schools teach their children, the schools would be forced to cater a curriculum for each student whose parents had genuine moral disagreements with the school's choice of subject matter."
That, my friends, is statism, plain and simple. But, of course, the schools can push any depravity, historical revisionism and even religion they want to, so long as the state agrees that it is so.
Parents, the state does not own your children. They are a gift to you from God (Psalm 127-28). You are to teach them diligently (Deuteronomy 6), not the state. The more you send your children to state indoctrination, the more they will think like statists, and, like the communist Chinese, they will turn your children against you. I have already provided sources and means for you to begin educating your precious children on your own for free… and you can do it!
This judge's previous ruling and the ruling against Mrs. Davis demonstrates that he should be impeached, charged and justice be brought down upon him... and if those who took the oath to uphold the law, namely Sheriff Jack Carter won't carry out the enforcement of the law, then it is up to the people to carry it out. What will you do people of Rowan County Kentucky?
It was a picture of Judge David Bunning. Maybe it was a Getty image or somesuch, that could not be posted on FR.
LOL
I suppose what I should do is issue the standard FReeper reply in cases like this, since I am apparently bruising your ego. So I will.
“Are You Logged in?”
If this judge really cared about his state’s youth he wouldn’t be bench bullying them into accepting a high-risk chosen behavior.

“Health Risks of the Homosexual Lifestyle”
The current media portrayal of gay and lesbian relationships is that they are as healthy, stable and loving as heterosexual marriages — or even more so.1 Medical associations are promoting somewhat similar messages.2 Sexual relationships between members of the same sex, however, expose gays, lesbians and bisexuals to extreme risks of Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs), physical injuries, mental disorders and even a shortened life span. There are five major distinctions between gay and heterosexual relationships, with specific medical consequences. They are:

Explaining to a progressive liberal that Mayor DeBlasio’s wife changed her sexuality shuts up the progressive liberals that say a person’s sexuality can’t be changed.
Kim Davis and the KY Clerks Association tried to solve this before it became an issue. They petitioned the in-session KY legislature to remove the clerk’s signature from the certificate.
The evidence doesn’t support your suspicion.
That judge, a Bush appointee.........
Sure.......
I am not generally the “thread police”, but I saw something that was confusing and I could not walk away as I usually do..
Another time....perhaps
Jim Bunning was a great pitcher and a great senator but apparently along with his wife, a piss poor parent.
Reality check: Trump has said that his rampaging pro-abort federal district judge sister would make a great appointment to the SCOTUS. Who gets the first appointment? David Bunning or Trump’s sister? This is not personal but it does raise the question of the lack of consistency in rightfully objecting to David Bunning and his role in perverting the USA but not Trump who also allowed a “transgender” to compete in his Miss Universe contest.
What goes on publicly need not be same as what goes on privately, especially with politicians or homosexual activists.
E.g. she also petitioned judge with similar request, but both could have been part of the same game choreographed for the public consumption. If she is playing her part with judge, she could have been playing it with other collaborators in the legislature. The house there has Democrat majority if I recall correctly anyway (not that "Republican" label means all that much more than the money that bought their office last).
Frankly, I don't trust any theater politicians, bureaucrats and the cronies buying them are playing for the public consumption. My default assumption is that the scum that floated to the top of their cesspool is lying to us as usually.
There are hundreds of Republican Congressmen. You would think at least one of them might take a little time to draft articles of impeachment.
After the initial resolution of the Boyd County case, Judge Bunning decided against the school system again in 2006, ruling that it could not let students who opposed gay rights opt out of anti-harassment sessions. He was overruled by an appellate court.
In 2007, sitting temporarily on the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, he was part of a three-judge panel that unanimously struck down a Michigan law banning the procedure that abortion opponents call partial-birth abortion.
So David Bunning... regardless of people's "personal opinions", they should have started rounding up all the escaped slaves and sending them back to their owners after the Dred Scott ruling, right?
Only the Senate Sergeant At Arms could possibly arrest a sitting president.
But there would have to be charges and a warrant which is never, ever going to ever happen.
Presidents have always ignored laws when they saw fit. Lincoln suspended habeas corpus; Truman tried to seize steel mills; many presidents, including George W Bush have made extensive use of “signing statements”, which are supposed to allow them to bend laws as they see fit.
So, it’ll never happen, because once it happened, it would be used to bludgeon every single office holder from then on.
Honestly, I find myself aghast at all the supposed conservatives who are desperately trying to rationalize not supporting this woman. Aghast and disgusted.
Explain everything away, they do, and using their historical pontifications as if no other FReeper has been to school. Circular reasoning is the seasoning on FR threads this weekend, regarding this subject.

No way
