Maybe A Judge Can Forgive Smoting

I created this post the other day regarding a judge who praised a school board attorney for breaking the law. The facts of the case were not disputed.
Today, (hat tip to The Gradebook), we find this under "Rules Are Rules":



Hillsborough schools must stop employees from undermining secular calendar - St. Petersburg Times:

Sue Carlton writes:

"Not to mention the whole separation of church and state thing."

"This time around, however, school officials need to affirmatively take those aforementioned steps to keep their decision from being undermined from within.

They need to have zero tolerance for the wink-and-nod and outright sabotage, with a clear message from the top that this will be an orderly, ordinary school day like any other.

And no one gets to smote."

In the case of the school board attorney not following the rules, the attorney had undermined the Florida laws regarding public records request. The judge appears to have given a "wink and a nod" while handing out a wrist slap.


From Ms. Carlton's perspective, I will assume that "undermining" comes under that "seperation of church and state thing", also.
