Do you work with children and youth? Make sure you have the organizational culture, climate, and practices you need to keep them safe from harm! Pick up your copy of Protecting Other People's Children: 120 Days to a Strong Child Safety Policy at Amazon or wherever books are sold.

Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson appear to agree that "sex" in Title IX means biological sex. But they'd let BPJ prove to a lower court that he is "similarly situated" to girls for equal protection purposes.

"Schools may determine eligibility for women’s and girls’ sports based on biological sex" B.P.J. is out.

In advance of the Supreme Court's likely ruling tomorrow in West Virginia v. BPJ, here's a column discussing the Court's most recent rulings on transgender issues, children, and parental rights.

@R_A_Belcher I tried to read it, but the writing was so atrocious I could hardly make sense of it.

[Tom Rawlings @tcrawlings]

Reasonable position, but it‘s unethical to accept an unpaid internship and then demand its terms be changed. If you’re opposed to unpaid internships, go to Congress or your state legislature and propose a bill to ban them so their costs and benefits can be debated. Only a person so privileged that they don't actually need the internship would do something like this.

[Tom Rawlings @tcrawlings]

In the late 80s I had unpaid internships (Congress) and paid internships @ajc and @CharlotteObser where I was dumbfounded that they would pay a college student to write for them. But never, ever would I have dared to take an internship and then demand to get paid or demand MORE MONEY.

@FOX5Atlanta Driven by an increase in addiction and a failed state and federal response to treating those with severe and persistent mental illness.

@Laura_ltdn18 I don’t recall him complaining about the Bolivians hijacking his rainbow flag.

This could be a good opportunity to discuss how our societal failure to actually treat severely mentally ill people causes horrible damage to both them and to society. It could present a good opportunity to mandate treatment for seriously ill people. Unfortunately, it probably won't be.

@AriFleischer Kik has had major issues with users sharing child pornography, at least in the past. https://t.co/UwX6l3hZ0A

@LowcountryRoyal @fallingoffaroof @ajlamesa Sorry you’re so stuck in your ideology that you are blind to facts.

[Tom Rawlings @tcrawlings]

These are not the “failures of capitalism.” In the contrary, they are the failures of a legal system that grants autonomy to severely ill individuals who don’t know they are sick and allows them to “choose” whether to receive treatment or not. It’s the product of a utopian idealism that’s been grafted into our legal system

[Tom Rawlings @tcrawlings]

@R_A_Belcher Police reports? If he is a severely mentally ill homeless person, likely he’s had police encounters even if no jailings.

@PhilHollowayEsq @FBIAtlanta @TheJusticeDept If anyone has contact with the family, please DM me. I’m interested in seeing how I can be of help.
