The chronically hyperbolical Ms Prior claimed to have suffered from “sweating,” and to have felt “at risk of imminent but unpredictable physical or verbal assault.”
When a student questions the need for racially segregated computer labs.

I know what to do the next time a troll shows up.
Welcome to the “intellectually segregated” comments section…
“indigenous segregated computer lab”
I guess that is right next to the “safe places for all races without white faces room”
It should be obvious by now that racial segregation is an absolute good that is desired by everyone.
“Her self-esteem is very expensive.”
Many things are cheaper (an better) if you build your own rather than hire lawyers or ask government to manufacture it for you.
It’s a get the white guy western world.
Transgenders and muslims just joined aboriginals and gays and visible minorities and disabled and ethnics and women as “special” and to be treated differently than all the rest.
All the rest being the testiculared pale persuasion.
A lot of rigamarole to get Whitey.
What is it about Liberal Girlymen that makes them so full of self-hatred?
Canadian mice not beavers.
And beavers are insulted.
There is a difference between justice and social justice thankfully.
Her case was struck and she was ordered to pay costs for the men accused. Costs were estimated to be $100,000.

Anytime someone qualifies the word justice with an adjective – social, environmental, etc. – you know they aren’t talking about justice.
“Anytime someone qualifies the word justice with an adjective – social, environmental, etc. – you know they aren’t talking about justice.”
Exactly.
As Paul Fussell once observed, the engraving on the US Supreme Court building – EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER LAW – is three words too long since JUSTICE alone implies the other three.
Affirmative-action, School-bussing, Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society (60 years of welfare) … the Senate Banking Committee erasure of home-loan qualification rules … since all of these do-gooder programs have FAILED (spectacularly) to improve the fortunes of a majority of “underserved” (what a joke) communities … I guess there’s nothing left to do other than takeover the computer lab for Aboriginals. Might as well throw that one against the wall too. However, when EVERYTHING has FAILED to “give poor folk a fair shot” (to quote our last affirmative-action POTUS) … these “folk” will simply be PROVING Charles Murphy’s “Bell Curve” for people of color.
I’m curious to know if Ms. Prior was acting alone or administering policy from above. Was she hung out to dry by moral cowards or did she push their envelope? The fish stinks from the head!
There seems to be some debate about that.
Personally, I tend to think if you can’t identify an aboriginal on sight then any claim to racism or discrimination is on shaky ground. Most KKK members don’t carry around DNA testing kits.
It seems to me that no one “hung her out to dry.”
The students did not even voice a protest. They just left. The facebook questioned the policy, not the enforcer, who wasn’t even mentioned by name. With such an innocuous background, she still saw fit to try to extort money more than three years after the fact.
It was for that latter action, for which she is solely responsible, that she received judgement. The judgement was not against her upholding the policy of the lab, if indeed that was what she did. Had she not sued, no one would have remembered the incident.
I agree that there should be no restriction to the lab based on race, but the students weren’t even fighting that. They just took it as a fact of life, and merely commented on its unfairness. If such a policy still exists, someone should be fighting it by trying to use the computer, and then suing if he is asked to leave because he is of a banned race.
This is a variation on a “three guys walk into a computer lab” joke.
Good luck getting any money from the SJW. In the mean time the lads are out a whole bunch of money for legal fees, time spent,reputation questioned, etc…
from the link comments: “If Australian Indigenous people use a computer doesn’t that count as cultural appropriation? can`t White people kick up a stink about all of our inventions from the English language to blue jeans being used willy-nilly by non white people without even asking us if its OK?
Time to start playing these SJW types at their own game.”
bingo !!
also, is common sense a whites-only attribute? i.e. if in fact the Aussie aboriginals for *whatever* reason need to ‘top up’ their computer skills, why not set aside a specific area for their use to get them in the same spot as the consultants? but, BUT, to then extend this to claim said equipment is for THEIR EXCLUSIVE SOLE USE even when not in use, wtf????
but that’s the sjw trick, migod they are good at this kind of ‘extrapolation’.
and re Keji citing the school busing back in the modern day dark ages, whut a fustercluck that was. subjecting kids to 2 hour friggin bus rides starting at 4 oclock in the morning because you know, all them stops to make. then home again same thing for YEARS. so do tell, how, HOW did THAT ‘improve’ their edjukashun? also, if I recall correctly, the bureaucrap that came up with the idea much later agreed it was a terrible idea.
do they still do it? methinks ms wynndefarm and all her closings of rural schools has decided to take up the challenge.
Don’t forget that one characteristic that progressives and socialists have in common is the definition of idiocy, namely doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.
They will take a bad idea–which everyone else can see that it won’t work–and force it on the rest of us, watch it fail, and keep doing it again and again until they get it “right”.
“… one characteristic that progressives and socialists have in common…” Ascertaining how many characteristics they don’t have in common would be a more interesting challenge.
“The Australian” reports a $200,000 charge against Prior (which of course she most likely be unable to pay), yet when Wood (the initial poster) attempted to have his legal costs assigned to Prior’s attorney, he lost, and will have to pay $15,000 somehow. I am sure that her attorney was being paid by government funds; to enhance the message about frivolous lawsuits, I think the judge should have allowed Wood’s claim. The process is the punishment, with extra financial angst in this case. There are enough legal aid avenues for social justice warriors, but woe betide those who dare to oppose them. Pitchforks and torches time.
Kenji – I read ‘underserved’ as ‘undeserved’. I think I’ll go with that… 🙂
Your version is NO joke. I hear ya
