(Maxine Bernstein) Suspending a driver’s license because of unpaid traffic fines unfairly targets poor people and is unconstitutional, a class-action lawsuit alleges.

The Oregon Law Center is representing five plaintiffs from Portland, Baker City, Pendleton and Mission who have had their driver’s licenses suspended for years or decades because they can’t afford to pay their spiraling debt from traffic violations.

My Commentary: Keep telling yourself that all of this petty bureaucracy, and the “need” for it is about safety, rather than disenfranchisement… Keep clamoring for our enslavement…

The American Civil Liberties Union of Missouri has filed a lawsuit against Kansas City Public Schools in response to the 2014 handcuffing of a second grader who was crying and screaming in class while being bullied.

In 2014, Kalyb Wiley Primm, who was seven years old and less than four feet tall at the time, was being teased for having a hearing impediment inside a classroom at George Melcher Elementary School in Kansas City, Missouri, according to the lawsuit. He began to cry and scream. School resource officer Brandon Craddock heard the cries and pulled Primm out of the classroom to take the boy to Principal Anne Wallace’s office.

The lawsuit, filed on behalf of the Primm family, alleges that Craddock pulled a “frightened” Primm by one arm through the hallway of the school. When Primm held on to a handrail with his free hand, Craddock twisted the boy’s arms and handcuffed him.

My Commentary: Handcuffed for crying… The State is the biggest bully of all, and we allow this monstrosity to daily terrorize us, with no end in sight, because most of us would rather negotiate with criminals than resist them…

(Sarah Halzack) Target said Wednesday it is preparing to spend $20 million in the coming months to add single-stall bathrooms along with men’s and women’s restrooms in its stores, a move meant to accommodate shoppers who have expressed concern about the retailers’ policy of allowing customers and employees to use the bathroom that corresponds to the gender they identify with.

“Some of our guests clearly are uncomfortable with our policy, and some are really supportive,” said Cathy Smith, Target’s chief financial officer, in a conference call wither reporters.

My Commentary: Well, well, well… The exact easy solution I suggested in my article on the topic is now being implemented, wide-scale, by the least-expected company…

A free-market win, either way!
