Another Out-of-Control Judge Tries To Stop Parents Rights Coalition Rally

We have another out-of-control judge in Massachusetts – this time trying to stop all First Amendment rights in the rally that will take place today at the State House by outraged parents. 

A Restraining Order was faxed to Brian Camenker, the leader of the parents, last night after the Courthouse had closed. The typed Order was not on any official form with any sign of authentication. It came from some alleged, unknown lawyer and some alleged, unknown judge. Even the Boston Globe reports this morning that it could not decipher the scribble of the signature in order to determine what judge, if any, had signed the “Order.”

The parents are rallying today because of the explicit sex that was presented to teenage students at a conference on March 25 by employees of the Department of Education.

Camenker was not dismayed but was buoyed by the alleged Order. “They rally will go on as planned with even more vigor. If they think they’re going to keep secret what they did to children at that conference, they’re sadly mistaken. The mothers and fathers of this state are already in revolt. This attempt to muzzle us will only make them more angry.”

Typed On Plain Paper

The Order was typed on a plain piece of paper by the unknown lawyer and presented  to an unknown judge. Was it really an Order from a judge or is it a hoax? There is absolutely no way to know.

The timing of the Order was unbelievable. The people who talked dirty with teenagers back in March have had plenty of time to seek an Order against Camenker if they desired. But they waited until the eve of the rally after the Courthouse had closed. The timing was obviously done on purpose and if it was really signed by a judge, he or she was complicit. If the Order had been obtained a few days ago, Camenker and his lawyer could have challenged the proceeding. But it’s pretty hard to challenge it when the Courthouse is closed.

The alleged Order restrained Camenker and any other person from talking about what occurred at the Conference where children were molested by employees of the Department of Education.

It lists as plaintiffs Julie Netherland, who was one of the Department of Education employees who molested the children at the March conference, and Caitlin Farren of Watertown, who is not otherwise identified.

The  alleged Order restrained Camenker “from any action of any kind that would disclose the contents of the workshop…including but not limited to any audiotape recording of the workshop or portions thereof or transcript of the above-referenced workshop or portions thereof. This same exact order shall extend to all defendants’ officers, agents, servants, employees, and attorneys and upon those persons in active concert or participation with them in any attempted disclosure or dissemination of the contents of above-referenced  workshop, provided that such persons are on notice, whether orally or in writing….This order shall also extend to any and all persons who presently possess a copy of the tape and attempt to disclose or use such tape in any forum.” 

The judges of our country are supposed to protect our Constitutional rights. This is a sad example of just another Massachusetts judge who doing exactly the opposite and is complicit in trampling those rights.
