Beautiful game?
Indian crowds shout overtly racist chants at an Aussie player... an Indian batsman refuses to walk when given out in the first Test... an Indian player calls an Australian player with dark skin a monkey... But no... the Aussies are the bad guys for playing to the umpire (as every other team does in every game)... shame on them. It's funny that the Indian manager says "Monkey is not a racist term in our country... ummmmm.... but Singh didn't use the word monkey anyway...." He either said it or he didn't. I have no doubt he said it because otherwse there there wouldn't be all this justification and excuse making from the Indians about the word used. They'd just be stating that he didn't say it. Same old same old from the sub-continent...

Gender Change Costs Dean a Job
The legal point is the quality of the medical opinion that the gender confusion is a medically recognized condition beyond Julie's control as WSS explains above. Also, the fact that Julie's spouse of 35 years accepted the change is a material fact. The arguments the religious institution may put forth pale by comparison. This is neither a legal nor religious argument, but a medical one. Neither the religious nor the jurists bring any special knowledge to the table. Right from wrong will be resolved on the facts of the case, not the school, Julie or Barnabee's opinion. The scripture quotes or other religious basis Barnabee waits for are irrelevant. But that does explain why a PR firm rather than lawyers are handling the School's responses. Some other legal items of note are: the school is estopped to deny ability after years on the job, positive performance reviews, need to educate the school and the public about fairness and the difference between the First Amendment right to an individual's right to freedom of religion and the prohibition against organized abuse in the name of religion.
