PC law and lawyers Case 1

On Thursday's 'Factor' Bill O'Reilly interviewed a lawyer who had successfully defended a junior high school student against suspension imposed by the high school principal. The lawyer was all smugness and triumph.

So what motivated the school principal to take action that the lawyer was able to convince the courts was unjust, forcing a back down by the school principal, the school's lawful authority?

That miserable thirteen-year-old grub, one of society's legions of unsupervised grubs, set up a website under the principal's name, projecting the image of a paedophile, and describing in nasty graphic detail what the principal did in this role.

I don't need to go into the detail of how the boy's grub lawyer succeeded in overthrowing common decency, truth, fairness, properly constituted authority, respect by the young for their teachers, and most importantly the proper function of the law.

The bottom-line should be enough to make the ordinary person understand what I have been constantly saying in my comments: law and legislation are the captive of a political class that has managed over five decades to change the nature and philosophical presuppositions of law in Western democracies.

In the legal framework that prevailed with its philosophical presuppositions five decades ago that student would have been expelled, received punishment commensurate with the seriousness of his misdemeanour, and set on a program of correction. Most importantly, the school's properly constituted authority would have been maintained.

No wonder a generation of feral males roams the streets of the Western world, to whom the most vulnerable and defenceless in our society are prey.
