Virginia Teacher defended by ADF in 'preferred pronouns' lawsuit wins settlement
Looks like those persons, demanding they be addressed by a Pronoun created by their Mental Illness, will need to start counseling to cope with real life. Plus, the schools will need better Security when these persons become unhinged, like we have seen in the past.
[LawEnforcementToday] Former West Point School District high school teacher, Peter Vlaming, who pressed a lawsuit against the board after he was terminated for refusing to use his students' preferred pronouns, won a settlement last week.

According to Fox News, the attorney representing Vlaming told reporters that the $575,000 settlement for the educator had "seismic implications."

Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) President and CEO Kristen Waggoner told the outlet that the legal non-profit is "grateful that, because of this decision, tolerance is now a two‐way street, not a one‐way ratchet for totalitarian ideology." She added, "It protects all teachers in Virginia and its rationale should guide other courts addressing similar issues."

The ADF is reportedly representing other teachers who have faced similar scenarios in other states. Waggoner noted, "No teacher should be fired for living according to their beliefs or protecting their students."

She wrote in a post to X, "No teacher should be fired for living according to their beliefs. But that's exactly what happened to Peter Vlaming. So we sued. And won. This landmark victory protects all teachers in VA and should guide other courts addressing similar issues."

#1  There is a difference between tolerance and submission. We're in the 'demand submission' era.

Insty's Take on the Coming Financial Collapse
[Substack] Debt Doom is Coming: Everybody knows it. Here's what to do.

#1  when he finally gets to offering suggestions:

"At the national level, we also need to be cultivating the seeds of a Millei moment. Javier Millei took the helm in Argentina under similar conditions of fiscal disarray, and is using that to slash the bureaucracy – including, significantly, state-controlled media – with considerable success. This country could use something similar. That means someone should look at what Millei has done and how Millei has made it work, and establish similar targets for the United States government.

And after the collapse, maybe a constitutional convention. In a foreword to the Tennessee Law Review’ssymposium on constitutional conventions, I included a number of proposals for amending the Constitution to prevent excessive government growth and indebtedness. These included a proposal to establish a House Of Repeal, a third house of Congress whose sole function would be to repeal existing laws. Also, a “no representation without taxation” provision: “Under an ideal system, everyone, regardless of income, would pay at least some income tax (enough to notice—say in the neighborhood of five percent of gross personal income), and the amount paid would fluctuate up or down in tandem with federal spending. More spending should hurt, at least a little.” That would be coupled with much stricter limitations on federal borrowing, to prevent Congressional end-runs."

#2  Indirectly, I'd suggest that if Congress doesn't approve individual appropriations by the start of the fiscal year for each department and agency, then all members of Congress are barred from elected or appointed federal offices for a period not less than 10 years. A hanging in the morning has a way of focusing one's attention.

Trump-backed House candidate rips Biden's 'joke' border policy for inviting [Chilean] gang violence to swing state [AZ]
[FoxNews] The transnational Chilean gang has been referred to as 'dinnertime thieves' and 'tourist burglars'

Abe Hamadeh,
… he ran unsuccessfully for U.S. Senate and state attorney general in 2022, and has been fighting against election fraud in Maricopa County ever since. I guess he won the Republican primary while I wasn’t looking…
a Republican running for Congress in Arizona's 8th Congressional district, told Fox News Digital that ‘radical’ Biden-Harris immigration policies are leading to increased gang violence in the key swing state of Arizona that is driving voters toward former President Trump.

"The border is the number one issue for everybody," Hamadeh told Fox News Digital. "Every time I'm in my district, it's the number one issue people talk about because they see the effects of the border crisis every single day, and we've had nighttime burglary, robberies happening in Arizona, in Maricopa County, particularly, these Chilean, illegal immigrants from Chile, this Chilean gang that were breaking into people's homes."

Hamadeh continued, "So you're starting to see it's not just crime on the streets, in the inner cities, but now it's going into the sort of suburbs and that's why the border, everywhere I go, it's the number one issue."

Earlier this year, Fox News Digital reported on a home theft ring operated by members of a South American criminal gang that has been targeting high-end homes in the Phoenix area, resulting in the arrest of three Chilean citizens living illegally in the United States, authorities said.

The gang, which has been referred to as "tourist burglars" and the "dinnertime thieves", has committed crimes all across Phoenix, and the suburbs of Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Chandler, Gilbert and Peoria.

"People are concerned, rightfully so," Arizona GOP Chairwoman Gina Swoboda told Fox News Digital. "Take Scottsdale as an example. Scottsdale is a nice little suburb in Maricopa County and there is this huge increase in homelessness. There was a series of home robberies and the police said it was a Chilean gang. So a gang from Chile came and started hitting houses in Scottsdale on a pretty routine basis and they were calling them like dinnertime robberies and you're sitting down to dinner after you worked all day and now here comes the Chilean gang to rob your house."

Hamadeh told Fox News Digital that the "radical" immigration policies of the Biden-Harris administration are playing a major role in the increase of gang activity in Maricopa County.

"Everybody knows it's a joke," Hamadeh said about the immigration policy put forward by Harris during her recent speech along the southern border. "We can't escape the commercials that are on constantly, she's walking on our southern border with Trump's border wall which we all know she opposed. She's the most radical person ever to run for president."

"Everybody who's law enforcement, Border Patrol, anybody who knows what's going on is supporting President Trump because Kamala Harris is in a position of power and has done nothing about it. So we all know that this is her attempt at trying to just, you know, get votes. But we know that the radical left is adamant about keeping our border open, and it's creating a national security risk."

#1  If I recall correctly UN Resolution 1701 was to prevent Hezbollah from militarizing south of Litani River. Steps were taken to try to prevent this outcome.

Interesting enough - the was my 1701 post to Rantburg.
