- Secret revealed: Ohio woman unknowingly married father
- Even if you support same-sex marriage, legal surrogacy, sperm/egg donors, or other such things, I'd argue that there's still a good reason to restrict names on birth certificates to biological parents only even if, and when, that might also require paternity testing. (In the case of, e.g., a sperm donor being used in the case of a couple wanting children but involving an infertile male [the adoptive father], the biological father there being the sperm donor). It seems here that the woman in question didn't know, and whether not not her father/husband knew is uncertain, but others were aware.
- EEOC says WSSU discriminated against employee
- "Shira Hedgepeth, who is white, had been the university's director of academic technology and was let go in 2011. The EEOC ruled that Hedgepeth's race was a factor in her termination." According to the EEOC, "Affirmative action may be required of your company as a condition of entering into a federal contract." How a government can both
require affirmative action mandate discrimination on the basis of factors such as race or gender and at the same time have a different branch rule that discrimination against whites is wrong is beyond me.
- Restraining Order Helps Mom Murder Children
- "Lisa Cochran was a deeply disturbed young woman. Her former boyfriend, Christopher Ehlen, father of Faith, as well as her ex-husband, Vincent Cochran, both say that mental health issues had long plagued her. She had recently talked of suicide. But what she had also recently done was go to court to get a protection order preventing Ehlen from coming near her or the girls. According to Ehlen’s family, the order was issued with no evidence to support it. Because it was, Ehlen could do nothing to intervene to save the children he loved so much. ... Apparently, Cochran is the third mother in the past six months in the St. Louis area to murder her children and then commit suicide."
