Someone tell me why this is ok.
It's not okay, but it should be another red pill.

A Teacher's Union is Suing a Mother For Repeated Attempts to Know What Her Kindergartener is Learning
The kindergartens curriculum so she could review what is being taught.
Is that a summary of what she requested, or is that literally what she requested? Since the curriculum is public record, my guess is that she asked for something more intrusive.
Well $hit, she should be sued then. Peasants don't get to question their lords.
I'm not saying she should be sued. I'm saying I don't have enough facts to judge.
Ok. What could the woman possibly request that would justify a law suit?
Maybe she got angry with the teacher's union and yelled at them. Does that support a law suit?
I can't see the whole thing, but it looks like they're asking for declaratory and injunctive relief, not money damages. I suspect that they're going to argue that the request is overbroad in some way.
As for what she could "possibly request that would justify a lawsuit" (you make it sound like they pulled a gun and shot at her), she could be asking for confidential personnel records. She could be asking for confidential records related to another student. In short, she could be asking for anything that the Rhode Island open records act says is exempt from disclosure. Virtually all open records acts have limitations on them. I highly doubt that she only asked about the curriculum, which wouldn't warrant an open records request in the first place. A simple Google search would likely suffice if that's all she wanted.
I'm not taking the union's side. I'm just saying that there's almost surely more to this story, and we shouldn't judge it so easily.
You are 100% right, @Mr. Deez. As with most things from both sides of the aisle, the partisan headlines don't match the truth.
The Complaint (link) argues that many of the requested records are protected from disclosure, and that other of the requested records are subject to disclosure but contain confidential material that should be redacted. The main topic the NEA is seeking to shield is complaints lodged against individual teachers and disciplinary action taken in response to those complaints. There are some other issues as well, but none of them relate to the curriculum in any way, shape, or form.
The primary defendants in the lawsuit are the school board and the interim superintendent. The only relief sought is injunctive -- prohibiting the district from producing certain records and requiring redaction of other records before they are produced. No relief is sought against the parents. They are named only because they could potentially be impacted by whatever relief is entered against the school district.
But it's so much more fun to just read the headline and get mad.
Just when you think the UK cannot possibly do something dumber...here comes another jurisdiction to say 'hold my pint.'Damn, we live in stupid times. Link. I wonder if the cops will put this on their cars in the heavily Muslim areas of the UK. I'll bet not.
I’m warming to the idea of defund the police….Damn, we live in stupid times. Link. I wonder if the cops will put this on their cars in the heavily Muslim areas of the UK. I'll bet not.
I'd vote for him just for having that Afro! How'd he go to sleep with that thing on his head - would be like trying use a basketball as a pillow.
Don't let your kid post anything on Twitter that might offend the woke at any point in the future.
It is questionable whether or not the rule was even written at the time of the "offense", and he doesn't appear that he was a member of the league at that time.
This penalty is akin to penalizing an NFL player for a head slap during a junior high game when that action was legal, but is now an illegal hands to the face infraction.
