That’s correct, in order for the Constitution to be violated someone has to be able to show injury or they lack the standing to claim a violation.

For example if a school district had a bunch of Jewish students and refused to provide them kosher meals they would potentially have an argument that their constitutional rights were violated. If no Jewish students were present the fact that no kosher meals were present would not be a violation despite the policy being identical.

Makes sense?

Yeah, and goodluck having that stand-up in court when your're told "This is a kosher meal" and then they proceed to eat like normal... Then you tell them "lol jk it's not kosher".... Oh the torture! You clearly abused their "dietary restrictions" that aren't actually restrictions and that actively play no part in their overall wellbeing, diet, or otherwise.

At least they're not offering free hair styling.

You seem to be so worked-up about the topic that you aren't even making sense. I don't understand what point you are attempting to make with this.

It did inspire me to google the phrase "sued because food was not kosher" and interestingly it turns up zillions of hits, the vast majority relating to US prisons.

But I particularly liked this one for some reason:

Guys the legal arguments here are pointless nonsense. As Starbuck tries to talk about how buying halal meat is unconstitutional there are numerous educational institutions funded basically entirely by government money that not only serve exclusively kosher food, but also provide religious instruction.

There is no constitutional violation here and there's nothing even remotely close. He's just making shit up.
Well except for the whole establishment clause thing, or are we still pretending that saying magic words to a dead animal contributes to its nutritional value.

I take that back. I just prayed to a candy bar and it turned into a piece of fruit.

Under the new guidelines we can`t react to this in a manner fitting of somebody who keeps repeating over and over regardless of if this person is right ore not!!
I believe these new Rules that have been established favor nobody but trolls and the juvenile membership on these forums who even when something is explained adequately others do nor really care, even when they are totally 100% wrong!!
Npo, I am not going to be baited into this meaningless absurd discussion!!

There is a thread for discussion of the new rules and a Moderator Discussion as well. Random posts in P&N are NOT the place.

It's not for you to say who is 100 % right, or canvass to close the thread. It seems like a civil discussion which is what the rule change desires regardless of post count.

I would frankly love to see the judge's face in that trial.

Tyson: They should buy food from us.
Judge: Why should they buy food from you that they know the kids won't eat?
Tyson: Because the constitution demands this school district buy food the kids won't eat.
Judge: *face plants on desk*
Looking at the halal certification, the beef patties are originally sourced from AdvancePierre. AdvancePierre is a subsidiary of (wait for it...) Tyson.

That’s kind of wonderful.

Tyson should do what Sony did 20 years ago.
Sue itself.

*Sony music sued a majority owned mp3 hardware division when digital music began. Any company that sued itself is too big.

I assumed nothing and went by the words used rather than an opinion. Jesus you people are all Donald Trump on different levels, aren't you? Here you are telling me that I'm an "opinionated" woman?

It's cute too because I'm quite possibly your elder and quite obviously your wiser.
At this point I recommend you stay on topic of this thread or go to the old Greta thread and post about Greta.
I’ve been here a long time and threads that go like yours is going typically don’t continue.
Such an incredible creep.

I tried to help but nevertheless you persisted
I suspect that was a troll/alt account. Haven’t heard from slow in awhile
New account was way too shot out of a cannon

Not sure why she/ he was banned , but I reported one of the posts where she said my screenshots were from stormfront. I specifically posted the links from the dearborn school district. so hopefully that contributed to that account ban.

I also dont think it is slowspyder.

I’d guess it was a new account with around 12 posts and 3 or 4 insults thrown to violate the rules. I cannot imagine an account like that ever getting better.
