Yes, Ms. Klein, you are right:
Objecting to the jobs created by FDR under the New Deal, a former DuPont executive complained that “five negroes on my place in South Carolina refused work this spring … and a cook on my houseboat in Fort Myers quit because the government was paying him $1-an-hour as a painter.” https://t.co/Rv0TZMV3OM— Naomi Klein (@NaomiAKlein) March 25, 2020

The Justice Department is absolutely right on this:
Attorney General William Barr signed what is known as a statement of interest Tuesday, arguing against the policy of the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference, the board that oversees the state’s high school athletic competitions.
The conference allows athletes to compete as the gender with which they identify, arguing it is following a state law that requires high school students be treated according to their gender identity. It also argues the policy is in accordance with Title IX, the federal law that allows girls equal educational opportunities, including in athletics.
The Justice Department, in its filing, disagrees.
“Under CIAC’s interpretation of Title IX, however, schools may not account for the real physiological differences between men and women. Instead, schools must have certain biological males — namely, those who publicly identify as female — compete against biological females,” Barr and the other department officials write. “In so doing, CIAC deprives those women of the single-sex athletic competitions that are one of the marquee accomplishments of Title IX.”
Anybody who supports Connecticut in this supports wholesale cheating against women.
The ACLU, as usual, is full of shit.

I missed these two tidbits about the Jodi Arias case that occurred recently:
First, her conviction was affirmed by the higher court in Arizona, which was expected, and she and her legal team are counting on the federal system to overturn her conviction.
The really good news is the sack of shit prosecutor in her murder trial, Juan Martinez, has been fired for numerous instances of misconduct.
On Friday, FOX 10 obtained documents surrounding the dismissal, which shed new light on what happened. On the same day Martinez was placed on paid administrative leave, county officials sent to Martinez, via hand delivery, a Notice of Intent to Dismiss._____
The letter detailed a number of alleged violations of the Maricopa County Employee Merit System Resolution, including discourteous treatment of the public or fellow employees, violation of county or departmental policies or procedures in regards to workplace professionalism and prohibition against discrimination, harassment and retaliation, and a Code of Ethics violation.
In the letter, county officials say Martinez's conduct has created an environment at the county attorney's office that is now "impossible to manage effectively."
"For example, we must work to keep you away from those you victimized," read the letter. "This fact makes it difficult to assign you to bureaus and even your physical location within the building presents challenges. Even if we could isolate you from your victims based on job assignment and work location, it is not possible to prevent contact with your victims."
The Senate just passed the $2 trillion rescue package after a ton of bullshit talking and whining. link
Of course, none of us in the schools, including classified help, will ever be eligible for the UI over summer break. Not happening.
