Iowa Civil Rights Commission Contested Case Decision: Boomgarden Conclusions of Law 1
It is . . . wise to advert, as did Judge Fuld in Matter of Holland v. Edwards, 307 N.Y. 38, 45, 119 N.E.2d 581, 584 . . . to the common experience that those who discriminate unlawfully are not likely to do so in open, plainly-appearing fashion . . . . Instead, there is likely to be covert resort to subtle tactics and the pretext of intermingled motives and reasons to obscure the substantial cause. The evidence . . . was just of that character, resting in part on slips of the tongue, jests with a serious half-hidden barb, inconsistent handling, and then a smoke screen, perhaps, of obscuring lawful motivations and reasons for denying her promotion. ...

Iowa Civil Rights Commission Contested Case Decision Polton Conclusions of Law
20. The Respondents failed to meet their burden of persuasion with respectto any of the defenses proffered for these actions. In this instance, theirFirst Amendment defense seems to be directed not at the constitutionalityof the statute per se, but at the use of Respondent Abeln's statements asevidence of discriminatory intent. The Commission, therefore, has the powerto rule on this issue. Despite First Amendment concerns, "there islittle doubt that a racial statement may at least be used as evidence ofthe Defendant's motive in [housing discrimination cases]." R. Schwemm,' Housing Discrimination Law 418 (1983). "Resort to epithets or personalabuse . . . is not in any proper sense communication of information or opinionsafeguarded by the Constitution."

Settlement Agreement - Between The United States of America and the American Association of State Social Work Boards and Assessment Systems, Inc.
Because AASSWB, ASI and the United States desire to settle this matter without resort to litigation, AASSWB and ASI have agreed, in part, to implement written policies to provide qualified readers to qualified individuals with disabilities, as defined by the ADA. The policies were developed based on the principles laid out in an attachment to a letter the Department mailed to the parties on June 25, 1998, which analyzes the ADA's requirement that testing entities must offer examinations in a manner accessible to persons with disabilities. A copy of the attachment to the June 25, 1998 letter is attached as Exhibit A. AASSWB and ASI do not necessarily agree with the legal interpretations laid out in Exhibit A . ... [Read More]

Vice President and Mrs. Cheney's Remarks and Q&A at a Town Hall Meeting
This is not just a U.S. problem. There was a bit of a tendency, Ithink there, perhaps, at the outset to think, well, they hit the UnitedStates, the United States is the bogie man here, and they're going tocome after us. Well, they'll probably come after us more than anybodyelse just because of who we are and what we believe, but just look atwhat has transpired around the world since 9/11 with the attacks inMadrid, in Casablanca, in Mombassa, in Istanbul, in Riyadh, in Bali, inJakarta, and most recently, of course, in Baslan, in Russia, this weekwhere they slaughtered hundreds of school children. We don't yet knowexactly what the relationship is between the groups that launched thatattack and whether or not al Qaeda is involved. That jury is still outon all of that. The Russians seem to think there may be someconnections there. But obviously, it's another example of the kind ofproblem we've got with those who resort to terror to try achieve theirpolitical objectives as happened in that ... [Read More]
