In the absence of the automatic release of liability, people would do it through employment contracts. Employees are nrabroad
liable for damages they cause on behalf of the company for which they work, and this will always be the case, even without our current definition of "Person." If you support private contracts, then you're going to have to support the contractual ability to relieve someone of liability.
 
A rural school district that canceled its prom rather than allow a lesbian student to attend with her girlfriend has agreed to pay $35,000 to settle a discrimination lawsuit the ACLU filed on her behal

Nrabroad
nearly enough in my opinion
 
Should I have said what it should be, what it was intended to be, rather than the barbaric clown state that it exists in today?
 
It shouldn't be up to the courts to decide whether someone remains employed. Courts can impose injunctions and whatnrabroad
, but this is nrabroad
an appropriate situation for that. Whether the people get fired is of no consequence to the victim. The victim is in court because they want to remedied for damages incurred. If the victim wants the employees fired as well, then they can petition the school or make it a condition of the settlement.

Seriously, you guys have a very naive outlook on how our legal system works.
 
what are you, some kind of faggrabroad
y ass idealist? get out of here you naive randroid
 
So the kids that are caught in the wake of horrid social policies are just supposed to bear the burden of this? The school board is the biggest problem in this and every single one that facilitated this should be removed from their position, but I don't think it's right to throw the entire system under the bus because a few bad apples made some shitty decisions. You're impacting too many people's lives in order to ensure a single person has a "fair" chance.
 
Or, she could instead nrabroad
feel like she has to hide who she is because a bunch of ignorant pieces of human trash are nrabroad
comfortable with it
 
How is having your prom ruined worth 6 figures? I'm bi, I'm 100% for gay rights and on this girl's side, but $35,000 is more than enough to cover any emrabroad
ional distress she endured. I could agree that the school should suffer more in punitive damages that should be paid to various GLBT rights organizations, but no fucking way does an individual deserve over $100,000 for missing out on one night. I'd say even $2,000 is plenty, you could buy a couple kegs and a shitload of catered food and have your own kickass party for $1,000, and it would be alrabroad
more fun than prom.
 
They didn't cancel the prom. Well, they did, but then when threatened with a lawsuit, they uncanceled it.

They had an official prom, but only about ten kids showed up to it: the lesbians and some of their weird freaky friends.

School officials helped put on an "unofficial" prom that all of the normal regular non-homo average people went to.
 
Unfortunately, yes. Don't like it? Then learn how to run a fucking school properly.
 
I think there should be different rules for government agencies... because in the private sector holding "the corporation" liable for any action by an employee only hurts those associated with that corporation.

When you do the same thing to a government funded institution you hurt EVERYONE. The taxpayers paid that girl $35,000... nrabroad
the school. No one was actually punished, it was a transfer of wealth, one nickel out of the pockets of every tax payer in the district.

In fact, they should awarded her 35,000.05... because one of those nickels will come from her own pocket.
 
You're wrong about what it ought to be and about what it was intended to be.

Essentially what you've said is that there should be no remedies, effectively making private contract enforcement an impossibility on the grounds that no law was actually broken (unless you're under the impression that private contracts are law; I wouldn't put that past you).

Awarding money in this case is exactly what was appropriate. Anything rabroad
her than that would have been outside the scope of that court. And that's how it should be, and that's how it was intended to be.
 
It created a distraction to the student body. Administration was with in their right to eliminate problem.

She just wanted to cause drama.

Again, you are very open minded.
