This Is Still A Thing?!

As long as you belive what eveyone else believes This is still a thing?!
You know what blows my mind (well, this week, anyway)?  It's the fact that there are still employers out in employment land that can't tell the difference between discrimination and non-discrimination. 

I mean, really!  With all the litigation flying around, you'd think employers would know what not to do these days.

 Take, for example, the Lady who came up to me the other day.  Seems she is very religious and has been so all her life.  

Her boss and fellow employees were not of her religious persuasion.  It seems that for the last several months, her coworkers have been discriminating against her because of her religious beliefs.  

Both employer and employees have been berating her with anti-religious propaganda and literature and, have engaged in a pattern of "hostile proselytizing" to the point where she no longer feels safe going to work.

 Maybe you're thinking "hostile proselytizing?"  What the heck is that!?!  Well, I asked her and it turns out that while reading from their holy script, they came across a passage about stoning and someone suggested that the only way they were going to get through to her was to stone her (hey, her words, not mine). 

 You'd think that people in this day and age would be more civil and accepting.  I suspect they're only accepting if you believe what they believe (making for an ever increasing boring world).  

I guess when it comes to religion, that's not the case and still exists the need to impress upon employers the importance of backing off.  So, I suggested Lady take a look at:
and off she was developing her case against her employer and fellow employees.

 Sad that this blatant discrimination stuff still happens.  I mean, you'd think when someone says go away, they'd go away.  Guess not.

Word Of The Month For February 2019: Corroboration

Gambar
Have you ever had the experience where you are talking to a group of people and someone doesn't believe you and they say "prove it?"  I mean, the gall of some people. What is helpful, in those situations is if someone is standing there and they've got your back saying, "no, she speaks the truth" (thereby shutting down the naysayers). Yep, always nice to have someone watching your back.  Of course, this all brings us to our word of the month: CORROBORATION .  According to Black's Law Dictionary , CORROBORATION means: 1. Confirmation or support by additional evidence or authority (corroboration of the witness's testimony).  2. Formal confirmation or ratification.  3. Confirmation or support by additional evidence of the date of invention or of a trademarks first use. So, a funny thing.  The other day I was looking at this definition and while I was thus looking, a young lady came up to me asking an intellectual property issue. Seems Young

Island Politics

You ever read the poem by John Donne titled, "No man is an island?"  It goes like this: "No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as any manner of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind. And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee." This concept of "islands" and "mankind" came to mind whilst I was reading an article about California's further attempt at being a sanctuary state.  Apparently, the California Senate is further cementing the concept of becoming an island unto itself by considering a bill that seeks to limit the ability of local law enforcement to cooperate with federal immigration authorities. See, a while back, the state of California adopted legislation which turned

Sometimes You're The Nut

The duduk kasus with being an omnipotent law Librarian is that after a while of hitting on all 16 cylinders, pulling answers out of the sky like they were cotton candy, you start to feel all powerful, thinking you know everything - until you skip a beat and you can't find anything.  Then you start to question the sanity of the universe. Such was my life the other day.  Seems this Guy came into my law library.  Seems Guy had just been in family court where his ex-wife had filed a motion to legally change his son's name to her new flame's name.  Judge told Guy she'd deny the motion if he could find something to prevent the change.  Guy was under the gun and came to me - the omnipotent Librarian - to help him in his hour of need.  I looked everywhere and couldn't find anything for him.  I mean, EVERYWHERE!  Guy flips out claiming that everyone told him that I was THE go to Librarian when you can't find something and that I failed him. Huh.  I felt bad
