Media lead charge to smear Rockies fan they falsely accused of using racial slur toward Marlins outfielder

by

By Charles Creitz

Several media figures and others in the baseball establishment are being slammed for hastily and ultimately falsely accusing a Colorado Rockies fan of repeatedly yelling a racial slur at a Miami Marlins player who is Black, with some later making an about-face on the matter.

When the Marlins’ Lewis Brinson, 27, was at the plate in the ninth inning on Sunday, microphones at Coors Field in Denver picked up the fan repeatedly yelling something many critics immediately declared to be the n-word, ostensibly directed at the opposing team’s batter.

A review of the situation found that the fan, who has not been identified, was in fact shouting “Dinger!” at the Rockies’ purple triceratops mascot. The man was reportedly trying to get Dinger’s attention so that it could take a photograph with his grandchildren.

But many on social media circulated video of the incident assuming that the man was yelling a racial epithet.  (Click to continue reading how an innocent man was wrongly attacked)

Disney Grandson Languishes in the “Unhappiest Place on Earth”

by Downey Brand LLP

While Disneyland may be the “Happiest Place on Earth,” a California probate court may be the opposite for a Disney heir, mused the U.S. Court of Appeals in Lund v. Cowan (9th Cir. 2021) ___ F.3d ___. Bradford Lund, a 50 year-old grandson of Walt Disney, sued the probate judge who rejected a settlement agreement that would have allowed him to access his approximately $200 million inheritance, and the federal appellate court affirmed the dismissal of the suit.

The real drama has played out in the probate department of the Los Angeles County Superior Court. Litigation there has spanned 15 years with no FASTPASS or end in sight. Bradford’s story is unlike any Disney movie we have seen, but equally entertaining.  (Click to continue)

Teachers union sues Rhode Island mom over critical race theory public records requests, cites teacher privacy

The Rhode Island branch of a major teachers union is suing to block a school district from fulfilling a mother’s public records requests, citing the sheer volume of requests and concerns about teacher privacy.

The case revolves around a mom, Nicole Solas, who caught national attention for her quest to address critical race theory (CRT) in her child’s district. School board members previously considered suing Solas over her copious records requests – at least 200 – but declined prior to the recent lawsuit.

“We are asking the Court to conduct a balancing test to determine whether our members’ privacy rights outweigh the public interest,” said Jennifer Azevedo, who serves as deputy director of the National Education Association Rhode Island (NEARI). “We believe they do, and those records should either not be disclosed or should be redacted accordingly.”

In a filing dated Thursday, NEARI requested a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction from the state’s superior court. Both Solas and employees of the school district are named as defendants.

Solas fired back, telling Fox News, “You cannot be employed by the state and also demand immunity from public scrutiny. That’s not how open government works in America. Academic transparency is not a collective bargaining negotiation. It’s a parental right.”

NEARI’s verified complaint, which was filed Monday, states: “Given the circumstances of the requests, it is likely that any teachers who are identifiable and have engaged in discussions about things like critical race theory will then be the subject of teacher harassment by national conservative groups opposed to critical race theory.”

Cornell law professor William Jacobson also argued that “[t]his lawsuit makes little sense on its face. The unions purport to be protecting their members non-public documents and  information, but the public records law only applies to “public records“ as defined under the statute.”

The filing from Monday, however, seeks for the court to examine certain categories of documents which are “potentially public records” under the Access to Public Records Act.

It adds that if records aren’t determined to constitute a “clearly unwarranted invasion of privacy,” they should be disclosed with redactions of personally identifiable information or “information which may lead to the identity of such teachers.”

The lawsuit reflected an ongoing battle playing out across the country where frustrated parents are demanding answers from education officials.

Both the NEA and American Federation of Teachers (AFT) have opposed efforts to limit CRT and its related ideas in school. NEA previously approved a resolution conveying its desire to fight “anti-CRT rhetoric.”

Another prompted Senate Republicans’ scrutiny by declaring that the NEA would “research the organizations attacking educators doing anti-racist work and/or use the research already done and put together a list of resources and recommendations for state affiliates, locals, and individual educators to utilize when they are attacked.”
