Obama Administration sues school.........

[clublights]

That is not the part that bothers me.
Why is the USDOJ spending so much time suing and persecuting States, Cities and in this case a school district?
As far as this school case is this not the turf of the ACLU?
Arizona 1070-sued em.
Montana and Tennessee Firearms Freedom Act-sued em.
Can't remember the town in Nebraska but they wanted to verify citizenship before renting etc-sued em.

Why is it the DOJ instead of the ACLU... That's a good question. I have no clue...

But isn't suing them kinda how you do these cases ? wasn't the Hiller and the McDonald cases technically suing them ?

federal government going after a school district because they won't give three week off on demand.

two black panthers stand at the door of a polling place with clubs and the federal government refuses to do anything.

we have a serious problem with the federal government.

Let's not forget that upon being placed in his current position Mr Holder stated that we are a nation of cowards.

Apperently I'm about to get flamed for this...................


I don't see what's wrong..

She DID Ask for UNpaid leave. I can see the uproar if she was demanding to get paid leave.

It is a technical violation of the EEO act.

Letter of the law says they were supposed to let her do it .......... a nearly 50 year old law at that. has nothing to do with obama.

Gotta agree with you. Requesting unpaid leave for religious reasons and being flat out denied is just wrong. First year being denied was fine, second year that is unreasonable. The school administration could have started planning after the first rejection to cover the unpaid time off.

My wife is a school teacher. It says right in her contract that she cannot take more than 2 days of personal time EVER. If she is out for more than 1 day from illness she needs to get a DR's note written to the principal of the school.

People have absolutely ZERO idea what goes into teaching a classroom, and a teacher leaving for 3 weeks fucks everything up. I just got married in April. ya wanna know why we chose April? it was spring break. We got married during spring break and took our honeymoon right when she got out for summer.

I say go screw yourself teacher as you new the job issues when you took it.

While there is a specific time of year for the major Hajj where millions of folks are all there at once, I believe you can actually go whenever you are able. Islam is very flexible in as many ways as it's extremists are not.

This was my thought exactly, as far as the whole "minimal burden" thing was concerned, but since I don't have any experience in the teaching field, I decided not to use it as an argument.

I beg to disagree with you Elhero. The Justice Dept. did do something about the three Black Panthers at the polling booth. But you probably never heard about it. Is it maybe because all the news information you recieve is from right wing radical media?
From Live Leak

" A Justice Department spokesmen on Thursday confirmed that the agency had dropped the case, dismissing two of the men from the lawsuit with no penalty and winning an order against the third man that simply prohibits him from bringing a weapon to a polling place in future elections."

I personally agree with Eric Holder's decision, and to go any further with the case would be an intrusion by the federal government on free elections!

My opinion on the Muslim school teacher: It smacks me with racial and religious discrimination performed by the school board.

I disagree completely. I don't think it was a discrimination thing until the media got a hold of it and or her attorney figured this is a way to win this case and get public outcry. It doesn't matter what the reason for her wanting to take the time off is, 3 weeks is over and above what any school district would approve.

My wifes family is flying the whole family to Hawaii for 2 weeks in May 2011 for my mother in laws retirement party. Say My wife requested 4 days off to be able to go and it was denied because it was so close to the end of the school year with testing and closing things up for the year. Does that mean we should sue and claim we were discriminated against by the school district? No....it says in her contract she isnt allowed.
