When the Supreme Court bases a decision on policy considerations, the downstream consequences can be significant. A compelling example is 1982’s Plyler v. Doe, when the court struck down a 1975 Texas law allowing public school districts to exclude children of foreign-born parents who were not “legally admitted” to the United States. The court’s concerns were obvious. Denying access to education would harm these children, who often had no choice in the decision to come to America, which could in Read More

CA restaurant fines parents HUNDREDS for kid's bad behavior
A Northern California restaurant, Chez Xue, has implemented a policy to fine parents for property damage caused by unruly children. The owner cites years of disruptive behavior, such as children running through the dining room and inappropriate diaper changing at tables, as the reason for the decision. While accidental damage is not penalized, the restaurant enforces charges for reckless behavior, including a notable $327.03 fee for a damaged credit card reader. The owner emphasizes that this is not an "anti-children" campaign, but rather an effort to maintain a respectful dining environment. KTLA's Andy Riesmeyer reports.
