The Real Answer To Our Public School Crisis
First, the Good News on Economic Liberty
I believe some time back I discussed how the Institute for Justice went to bat for an embattled national advice columnist, legally licensed in North Carolina, targeted by a Kentucky psychologist board for allegedly practicing psychology in the state without a license:
The lawsuit was prompted in February of 2013, when John Rosemond wrote a column responding to a question posed by the parents of an underachieving teenager. His response—that the child needed a serious “wake up” call and urging the parents to suspend the child’s privileges until his behavior and schoolwork improved—caught the attention of the Kentucky Board of Examiners of Psychology, which sent Rosemond a cease-and-desist letter. The letter stated that Rosemond’s column—which is syndicated in more than 200 papers nationwide and has run for nearly four decades—was the unlicensed practice of psychology because he was giving individualized advice in his column. The letter also stated that because Rosemond is only licensed to practice psychology in North Carolina, he may not call himself a “family psychologist” in the tagline of a newspaper column published in Kentucky, even though his statement was literally true.Federal Judge Gregory F. Van Tatenhove ruled against the board's unconstitutional attempt to silence Rosemond's right to free expression.

GRESHAM, Ore., October 2, 2015 (Kelsey Harkness) - The agency that ordered Aaron and Melissa Klein to pay $135,000 in damages for refusing to bake a cake for a same-sex couple began the legal process last week to seize the money the Oregon bakers are refusing to pay.Political Cartoon
"Our agency has docketed the judgment and is exploring collection options," Charlie Burr, communications director for the agency, told The Daily Signal. "They are entitled to a full and fair review of the case, but do not have the right to disregard a legally binding order."
Docketing the judgment is a preliminary step the agency must take in order to seize the Klein's house, property or other assets in lieu of payment.
On July 2, Brad Avakian, commissioner of the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries, ordered the Kleins to pay $135,000 for the emotional, physical, and psychological damages they caused Rachel and Laurel Bowman-Cryer for refusing to make a wedding cake.
