Courts have repeatedly ruled that colleges and universities violate the First Amendment rights of professors when they retaliate against them for having said things administrators dislike. Nevertheless, such cases continue to arise. Victories for freedom of speech have not stopped the abuse of power by intolerant officials.
The reason why is that those officials don’t have to fear personal liability for their actions. The school might lose, but the officials won’t have to pay for the costs they caused. The money to pay damages comes from the school, not from them. And why is that? The answer is “qualified immunity.”
All "qualified immunity" does is allow people to get away with crimes the rest of us are put in jail for.
ReplyDeleteJust like the "civil forfeiture" law that allows police to confiscate money without due process. In other words, government condoned theft.

Free speech does not mean free from repercussions.
ReplyDeleteQualified immunity should not exist, if you are wrong about something being immune to rebuke should not happen...

Instead of deleting QI, make an addendum to it.
DeleteTo wit: Any employee using QI shall be subject to Woodshed policy.
'Is it an assigned duty, or official policy, or in any manner a requirement from your employer that you bring harm against another person?'
ReplyDelete'No.'
'Did you harm another person?'
'Yes.'
So ordered, from your own purse, you as individual pay in full.
QI is a made up construct, it exists no where in law. The black robed hacks created this shit out of thin air.
ReplyDeleteIt seems, like the term sabbatical, qualified immunity has gotten absurdly out of hand.
ReplyDeleteToday there are grade school teachers taking sabbaticals. What's next, school administers enjoying qualified immunity?
Oh, wait ....
The concept of "qualified immunity" was magiced into existence by the courts at the best of corrupt bureaucrats to allow them to get away with deliberate criminal misconduct. It has no legal or historical basis and should be ended... permanently.
ReplyDeleteEach Administrator should be investigated if they had anything to do with promoting porn in the schools under the guise of that groomer-alphabet group.
ReplyDeleteThrow them in prison, and make certain they remain on a list for life.
