The mother isn't required to be in class.

Are you seriously suggesting that that law implies that mothers are entitled to bring their children to strip clubs?
Or on roller coasters?
Or to nuclear power plants?
Or to a sexshop?
Or to an adult only sauna?
Or to a chemical plant?
Or in a coal mine?
Or in to a restricted hospital ward?

quote:

If the mother is required to be somewhere, the law states no one can interfere with her need to feed the infant or express milk.

Who said anything about bringing their children?

I think you should read the law again.

quote:

What it does say is that anyplace that the mother and child are allowed to be, they are allowed to breastfeed.

You didnt say that.... I did.

So while you are snipping at me, you are snipping at the wrong person.

The law expressly states both options. Hopefully, a mother would have better sense than to take her baby into a place that is a potential danger... but the employer is still required to all her time to express milk.

They don't allow children in the classroom. I don't know what else to tell you.

ETA: he is still teaching.

The law I quoted says nothing about whether or not children are allowed there, only that if the mother is allowed there she can either breastfeed or pump.

If he could get away with banning her child (by saying no children in the classroom), then she would have every legal right to open her blouse, hook up both breasts to a pump, and pump during his class according to the way that law is written.

Well, what the action/decision conveys is basically "ok, screw whatever you guys are doing over there, it's not important enough for me to even pretend to be interested in... I'm going to sit in this corner and do something that's only convenient to me, even though it might cause a disturbance"

Actually no. What it conveys is "Oh-oh, the kid is hungry, I had better take care of that quickly and quietly with the minimum of fuss and bother so he won't bother or disturb anybody."

Rather than disrespect, in this particular case it shows just the opposite, it shows respect. Care to try again?

In THAT court, with THAT judge, it had a bad outcome. The mother could well have looked like a selfish middle finger-thrower if she had been informed, and stood like a bolshy cow declaring her right to do whatever she wants. But that wasn't the case, according to reports from both sides.

quote:


She was asked a facetious question which really only had one answer. That was silly of the judge to begin with.

There are ways and ways of avoiding conflict and strife and one hopes our judges would be well versed and practised at it considering they deal with people in less than the best situations.

Do we think it is rude if someone comes in your house, doesn't ask if they should take their shoes off and avail themselves of any food and beverage they see? It is their right to eat and drink, use the facilities, etc. But shouldn't they ask you first so you can tell them what is appropriate or at least be aware? It's really the same in this instance.

Ah, but it isn't the same thing at all me dear, you see, when you come to my house, you are in my house. But the courthouse is hers, it is the people's court established to administer the people's justice according to the people's laws as enacted by the people's representatives chosen by the people. Now, as she is of the people, it is her court, not that of the judge, now isn't it?

Well I'm of the opinion that you're wrong. Perhaps you should take a civics class to learn the theory behind what is, then you might see that indeed what is is not what was intended.

And I'm still waiting for a logical and reasonable explanation of how it shows disrespect.
