Kathy O’Kelley; Ernest Cate; Rick Hoyt, in their individual and official capacities Defendants - Appellants ____________ Appeals from United States District Court for the Western District of Arkansas - Fayetteville ____________ Submitted: January 14, 2020 Filed: June 15, 2020 ____________ Before SMITH, Chief Judge, LOKEN, COLLOTON, GRUENDER, BENTON, KELLY, ERICKSON, GRASZ, STRAS, and KOBES, Circuit Judges, En Banc. ____________ LOKEN, Circuit Judge, with whom COLLOTON, GRUENDER, BENTON, ERICKSON, STRAS, and KOBES, Circuit Judges, join. Jill Dillard, Jessa Seewald, Jinger Vuolo, and Joy Duggar (“Plaintiffs”) rose to prominence as members of the cast of “19 Kids and Counting,” a television show about Jim Bob Duggar, his wife Michelle, and their nineteen children in Washington County, Arkansas. In 2015, the City of Springdale Police Department (“SPD”) and the Washington County Sheriff’s Office (“WCSO”), responding to a tabloid’s request under the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”), Ark. Code § 25-19-101 et seq., released redacted copies of reports of a 2006 investigation into sexual misconduct by the Duggars’ oldest child, Josh Duggar, which included interviews of Plaintiffs, who were minors at the time. Despite redactions, social media users identified Plaintiffs as the victims of Josh’s reported sexual abuse. The resulting negative publicity brought about the show’s demise, and then, this lawsuit. Plaintiffs sued the City, the County, and several of their employees, asserting claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and the Arkansas Civil Rights Act, along with state law tort claims for the tort of outrage and invasion of privacy.

So, yes, I was wrong about the Duggar situation. If you recall, several months ago it was revealed that Josh Duggar, the oldest son in the "19 Kids and Counting" clan, sexually abused his sisters when he was 13 or 14 years old. This revelation was used by many anti-Christian folks as a way to "prove" that all Christians are hypocrites and the whole "family values" thing is a shame, etc. I wrote a post in the early days of that story pointing out that the liberal Hand of God outrage over sexual abuse seems to be rather selective and insincere.

It was hacked this week and the records of 30 million adulterers were released.

  • Homeschooling in the United States: Examining the Rationales for Individualizing Education1
    10.1590/1980-6248-2016-0040 e-ISSN 1980-6248 DOSSIÊ: Homeschooling e o Direito à Educação Homeschooling in the United States: Examining the Rationales for Individualizing Education1 T. Jameson Brewer (i) Christopher Lubienski (ii) (i) University of North Georgia, Dahlonega, Georgia, United States. [email protected] (ii) Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana, United States. [email protected] Abstract: This article provides an exploratory overview of the history of homeschooling in the United States in addition to examining some of the claims made by advocacy organizations. There are two broad categories of rationales for homeschooling: (1) empirical — claims of greater efficiency, effectiveness, or pedagogical appropriateness; and (2) ideological – often informed by a religious or political disposition. A detailed discussion of both rationales is provided. First examined are claims made by homeschooling advocates related to effectiveness and efficiency, finding that this rationale does not have the same validity that ideological rationales like religion and safety may have. Finally, these rationales are cast against the backdrop of the aims of education as a mechanism for the collective good or for the individual good. Keywords: homeschooling, homeschooling claims, collective good, individualization Introduction Homeschooling has a long history in the United States – and in human civilization. Prior to the formation of formal public schools, much of a student’s learning took place at home in either formalized practices with a tutor, or, as was more often the case, informally through a child’s learning from their parents or master (in the case of apprentices), often centering around a specialized craft. Homeschooling practices that predate formal public schools represented a form of schooling that was done out of necessity to pass on cultural values and skills-based 1 Copy editor: José Pereira Queiroz, São Paulo, SP, Brazil.
