I have been warning New Hampshire about the dangers of having a “Human Rights Council.” They are Cultural Marxist constructs with one purpose. To accumulate political and legal power to suppress rights. And I just read something you should find chilling.
The case itself is interesting. A former staffer at the New Hampshire State Employees Association (the government worker’s union) has filed a “gender bias and sexual harassment federal lawsuit that alleges SEA President Rich Gulla made “many sexually inappropriate jokes and references to every female person in the office.”
The so-called #woke public union must now defend itself from #MeToo accusations of harassment it claims were just good-natured non-gender-specific ribbing. Jokes. The courts will decide the matter but that was not what caught my attention. It was this.
In November 2017, [Maddisun] Barrows first brought a charge against the union to the New Hampshire Human Rights Commission.
After the commission issued her a “right-to-sue” letter, she lodged the federal lawsuit alleging state and federal laws regarding gender discrimination and sexual harassment were broken.
Excuse me?
Why did she need a nod from the New Hampshire Human Rights Commission? Why is this unelected commission involved at all?
These extra-judicial bodies are a plague that needs to be cured. Structures we need to dismantle. They invariably become the center of lawsuits involving the unconstitutional suppression of First Amendment Rights. Court cases that involve these bodies exercising force to suppress free speech and Religious conscience in other states.
Cases that will cost taxpayers millions. It’s just a matter of time. All so politicians can virtue signal.
I’m not yet clear on why this case evolved as it did. Perhaps the SEA process requires it, which is just another good reason to stop this madness before it goes any further.
We have a legal system. It’s not perfect but it is not made better by adding our Human Rights Council into the process.
