This is absolutely the correct case. The idea that a school could withhold such key information about a child from the child's parents (in the absence of evidence of abuse) was ludicrously unconstitutional from the beginning.
@JonathanTurley The ABA’s failure to unanimously support the SCOTUS appointment of Robert Bork in 1987 (the year I joined the California State Bar) identified the ABA as an entity that represented interests other than mine. Never joining the ABA was the easiest decision I ever made as a lawyer.
Shildty never separated the game from the city.
He cared about winning—for this community. The children and I wish him all the best in his retirement and will miss him…

When Erika Kirk spoke the words on the man who killed her husband: “That man… that young man… I forgive him.” That moment deeply affected me. I have struggled for over 60 years to forgive the man who killed my Dad. I will say those words now as I type: “ I forgive the man who killed my father.”
Peace be with you all.
@DavidAFrench “But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you.” Luke 6:27-28 (ESV).
The assassination of Charlie Kirk is a shocking example of the dangers posed by political extremism and violence. These acts are not random - they are driven by hatred and designed to silence voices and sow fear. Our full statement below 👇
Yes, the horror in Gaza would end if Hamas surrendered, but Israel's humanitarian obligations are no more contingent on Hamas's capitulation than ours in Iraq were contingent on al Qaeda or ISIS laying down their arms. Israel's failure to secure and provide for the Gazan population prolongs the war and leads to an endless rounds of unimaginable death and destruction. This wasn't just predictable. It's been predicted, by many people. I wrote these words last year:
🚨Big news: The Dispatch has acquired @SCOTUSblog, and we're thrilled to welcome cofounder @AHoweBlogger—widely respected as one of the nation's leading legal journalists—to our team.
As one era ends, an exciting new one begins. SCOTUSblog is delighted to announce that it has been acquired by @TheDispatch and will help bolster their coverage of the Supreme Court and the rule of law.
Vivek @VivekGRamaswamy is the ONLY republican candidate who, I think, has the ability to ENROLL the CNN audience in conservative principles and values.
Plus he quotes Thomas Sowell to an audience which has probably never even heard the name.
The presidents of @Harvard, @MIT, and @Penn were all asked the following question under oath at today’s congressional hearing on antisemitism:
Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate [your university’s] code of conduct or rules regarding bullying or harassment?
The answers they gave reflect the profound moral bankruptcy of Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth.
Representative @EliseStefanik was so shocked with the answers that she asked each of them the same question over and over again, and they gave the same answers over and over again.
In short, they said:
It ‘depends on the context’ and ‘whether the speech turns into conduct,’ that is, actually killing Jews.
This could be the most extraordinary testimony ever elicited in the Congress, certainly on the topic of genocide, which to remind us all is:
“the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group”
The presidents’ answers reflect the profound educational, moral and ethical failures that pervade certain of our elite educational institutions due in large part to their failed leadership.
Don’t take my word for it.
You must watch the following three minutes. By the end, you will be where I am.
They must all resign in disgrace.
If a CEO of one of our companies gave a similar answer, he or she would be toast within the hour.
Why has antisemitism exploded on campus and around the world?
Because of leaders like Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth who believe genocide depends on the context.
To think that these are the leaders of Ivy League institutions that are charged with the responsibility to educate our best and brightest.
On the bright side, our congressional leaders deserve accolades for showing tremendous leadership and moral clarity in their statements, by the questions they asked, and the respectfulness with which they conducted the hearing.
It was a masterclass of how our government and democracy should operate.
If you have time, please watch the entire hearing. Throughout the hearing, the three behaved like hostile witnesses, exhibiting a profound disdain for the Congress with their smiles and smirks, and their outright refusal to answer basic questions with a yes or no answer.
