U.S. Supreme Court DENIES David Parker's Lawsuit
For more in depth information see MassMarrier's post.

The Supreme Court of the U.S. denied David Parker's lawsuit without comment. No comment from MassResistance yet but Brian did talk about it in the past:

Can a case like this eventually be won?

It's happened before and it can happen again. Remembering the famous St. Patrick's Boston Parade case in the mid 1990's, Parker said that he is not at all discouraged. In that case, known as the Hurley case, an openly homosexual group wanted to march in the South Boston St. Patrick's Day Parade, but the organizers refused to allow them. With the help of the liberal legal establishment the group sued -- and won -- claiming that the parade was a "public accommodation" and may not discriminate. Famed pro-family attorney Chester Darling, arguing the case pro-bono for the parade organizers, kept appealing the case and lost on the local, state, and federal level 17 times. Finally, the US Supreme Court heard the case and eventually ruled 9-0 in favor of the parade organizers -- that the parade's freedom of speech trumps political correctness!

Although the lawsuit so far has cost the Parkers an enormous amount of money, effectively draining their savings, they believe strongly that it's important that they stand firm on this issue. They are amazing people. Everyone needs to support them



But they lost. What is Brian going to say about the Supreme Court now?

Supremes Push Mad Dad Aside

Certiorari denied without comment to David Parker ex ux. et al. by the U.S. Supreme Court. The Lexington parents who figured they could tell the school what to teach figured wrong.

This case has been one of my obsessions and I can't restrain a giggle. In January, when the two couples lost in U.S. District Court in Boston, they said they were headed to the high court. They were positive they would, as the expression goes, make a federal case out of it.
Cross-posting: This appears on Blue Mass Group.

The Parkers' delusions of forging history seemed to have joined the slag in the furnace. They will not be known as people who created case law giving parents the right to tell schools:

* what books their children can read or have read to them
* what subjects are optional per student
* what topics - even if they arise spontaneously in class - require removal of individual students by parents' demands

There's lots of background at MassResistance Watch and Marry in Massachusetts. Search for David Parker or Mad Dad.

1. Excellent!!!

It's about time for the haters to learn that they cannot run roughshod over everyone with their holier-than-thou attitudes.

2. Good!

I've gone over to the MassResistance website and it seems as if every homophobic bigot in the damned state is there. It's about time that these people learn that they don't have a lock on the legal system.
