They won’t stop doing it till we hit ’em where it hurts.

I have to go to the hospital again this afternoon, and again on Thursday and Friday, for radiation treatments. But first I want to remind you to check out my Newswithviews column tomorrow morning: “Court Socks It to School Board.”

A court has ordered the West Point, Virginia, school district to pay $575.000 in damages to a teacher they fired for “misgendering” a student. The school board has also agreed to scrap that policy–no more forcing people to say things they hold to be untrue and morally abhorrent.

I wonder what it will take for this to catch on. School boards think they can do anything they please–and if it hurts and stresses a family, so much the better. “Hey, let’s change Johnny’s gender! And not let his parents know until after we’ve done it!”

Why doesn’t this result in jail time for the, um, “educators”?
