I'm sure a good percentage of you are familiar with the name Shirley Katz; she's the Oregon state teacher that wants to carry her LEGALLY OWNED gun at her place of work -a public school- as allowed by Oregon state law. She's gone to battle with the school board over the issue and basically been treated like the bad guy for wanting to exercise a Constitutional right, and to protect herself from her exhusband, and her students from another school killer.
Today the judge hearing the case issued a very bad ruling, stating that the school policy trumps both state law and the state constitution.
Think about that for a minute. The policy of a school is allowed to supercede the LAW OF THE STATE and the STATE CONSTITUTION! This judge is saying that no matter what the state declares, the school is allowed to void any law it wants by passing whatever policy it wants. He's basically saying that the school is the ruling majority and the state must become obedient to whatever it wishes.
Thankfully, the case is being appealed - hopefully to a better judge with more common sense!
If you live in Oregon, or even if you don't live in Oregon, you should be outraged at the decision of this liberal activist of a judge. Never should a school be allowed to decide that the law of the state doesn't apply to it.
If you know this judge, be sure to "thank" him. Let him know that you're glad he showed his true colors and what he really stands for. Let him know that you'll always remember this decision of his.
