It is extremely alarming. 

I've heard chatter they would even go after Admiral McRaven? Like Trump could recall him and prosecute him.

Nov 14 (Reuters) - A divided federal appeals court affirmed the dismissal of a Texas student's lawsuit alleging he was bullied for being white and supporting Republican President-elect Donald Trump, prompting a conservative judge seen as a potential U.S. Supreme Court nominee to dissent and deplore "racism against whites."

The New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals split 9-9, opens new tab on Wednesday on whether to revive the student's lawsuit against a school district in Austin, Texas, resulting in a lower-court judge's dismissal of the case being upheld.

The student, referred to only as B.W., had sued Austin Independent School District in 2020, alleging that from the 8th to 10th grades, he was "ostracized" and subjected to verbal and physical abuse for being a Trump supporter, white and Christian.

B.W., who said he sometimes wore a "Make America Great Again" hat, alleged he was harassed for being a racist, anti-feminist, and anti-gay, which he denied; that a teacher called him "Whitey;" and that a fellow student created a meme of him as a hooded Ku Klux Klansman.

He accused the school district of acting with deliberate indifference to the bullying, in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which bars racial discrimination in education programs that receive federal funding.

In January 2023, a three-judge 5th Circuit panel upheld, opens new tab a lower-court's dismissal of the case, saying most of the incidents concerned his ideological beliefs, which could not be the basis of a racial discrimination claim under Title VI.

The full 5th Circuit, one of the nation's most conservative courts, then decided to rehear the case. But a tied vote led to an affirmance again, with three judges appointed by Republican presidents joining with six Democratic appointees to rule against the student.

Nine Republican-appointed judges, including all six of Trump's 5th Circuit appointees, would have allowed the case to move forward, saying his allegations "plausibly amount to severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive racial harassment," even if additional motivations for the bullying existed.

The judges included U.S. Circuit Judge James Ho, a Trump appointee who was on the president-elect's public Supreme Court short-list during his first term and is viewed as a potential candidate should a vacancy emerge in Trump's second term.

Ho, in an opinion joined by fellow Trump appointee U.S. Circuit Judge Kyle Duncan, wrote that the student was "harassed on multiple occasions for multiple reasons — but being white was absolutely one of them."

"It's racist to characterize whites as racist," Ho wrote. "Because it’s racist to attach any negative trait to a group of people based on their race. And it's no less racist just because the victimized racial group is white."

He said it was "not surprising that more institutions increasingly believe that they have cultural permission to tolerate (if not encourage) racism against whites, under the guise of promoting diversity."

"Federal laws like Title VI prohibit discrimination on the basis of race," Ho wrote. "So it may be politically correct in certain circles to discriminate against whites. But politically correct does not mean legally correct."

Martin Cirkiel, a lawyer for the student, said he planned to pursue an appeal at the U.S. Supreme Court, citing the "importance of protecting kids at school, regardless of their race, religion nationality or political beliefs."

A lawyer for the school district did not respond to a request for comment.

The case is B.W. v. Austin Independent School District, 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, No. 22-50158.

So the kid wears a MAGA hat to school, gets hassled for it, and sues AISD for racial discrimination?

That's not "vile behavior."  It is 100% EXACTLY what MAGAs support and like.  Icono and Johnny and Balcones etc. see this shit, and smile.  That's how people SHOULD behave in their ideal vision of America.

I couldn't even get past whatever accent that was supposed to be, and bailed.

A Man of Culture such as yourself should have easily recognized the Non-Southern Theater Kids Doing Cat on a Hot Tin Roof accent.

I swanee.

And then the 8 year old anticipated the retort about the trade war that ensued the last time trump was in office and presented her thesis on how trump’s new concept of a plan was way ahead of that on the upcoming trade wars with canada and mexico.

She then offered some advice on the bonds market.

And then performed an appendectomy on the condiment station.

Nobody goes to Starbucks for a black coffee. 

That is the only thing I get there... But I go because someone else wants to go get a sugary syrupy foamy something or other.

Why does White magat want this? 
 

 

I actually had that, I was a kid at Easter 1966. I had a cooler suit, Mom was prettier, and Dad looked like a cleaned-up pirate.

It's a cool memory of creeping around Gramama and Grandaddy's yard snatching up candy contained in plastic eggshells, but not sure I'd wanna do that as a job.

I do miss British go-cart "sports cars," interesting ash trays, days spent on the floor building a Lego/Lincoln Logs/Tinkertoy empire, comic books that were aimed at kids instead of neck-beards, and jangling British Invasion guitars, but neither party even hinted at bringing those back.

I was waiting for them to go out and for the little girl to show some poor lost soul where Kyle Field was, even flying with them from California to do so.


The craziest thing about all the "showing them where Kyle Field is" stories is that you can see that fucking monstrosity from 11 miles away from any direction.

When I was in CS I spent my spare afternoons busting loose for Snook or Caldwell or Yankee's Tavern.
