That's pretty fucking awesome. I've wanted to grow a thick mustache ever since I played Super Mario 64 DS, so I can totally see where the bosses are coming from.

The school can't punish a student (the alleged rapist) without evidence; it is, however, obligated to provide a safe and comfortable environment to the victim.  Assuming the girl wasn't requesting an opportunity to actually publicly shame her attacker at ballgames, a sympathetic cheer coach could have found a compromise rather than kicking her off the squad outright.

There are people to appeal to all up through the school system before resorting to legal action; I don't know the details of the story but I'm curious whether she and her family exhausted those options first.  This being Texas, it's entirely possible they complained all the way up the chain and still received no support; in that case I can certainly see some ethical justification for going to court, even if I can also see why the judge found in the school's favor.

Without further information, it's generally a safe assumption that a party will have exhausted non-judicial, administrative remedies before going through the stressful and absurdly expensive process of suing the government.

That being said, even if this girl and her family went straight to the courts because seriously, what the fuck, suing somebody because getting treated like a subhuman really, really pisses you off isn't by itself grounds for sanctions.

Life begins at sperm generation.  Every man in the united states should be executed for mass-murder.

More like genocide.  Whereas women would qualify for serial killers.

Lovely.  I heard the story months ago (think Tom Tomorrow linked it) but didn't expect the bank to be dumb enough to let it go this far.

Tenn. law bans posting images that "cause emotional distress"

I guess someone has officially declared war with the internet?

More specifically, they criminalize "transmitting or displaying" images.  Neither of which is being done if you link something to someone.

Shitty law written by shitty people who don't understand what the internet is or how it works.  Grossly unconstitutional in a couple different ways, too.

Do you understand how terrifying the words “vibrating strap on” are for an asexual? That’s like saying “the holocaust” to a Jew.

I don't know if this was posted here, but it turns out Arizona isn't as scary as you can get. Apparently Alabama passed a immigration law that makes the Arizona one look only mildly inconveniencing to minorities. Link here. I especially love (hate) the parts where giving an illegal immigrant a ride is now illegal.
