More HRC Follies

In Delaware, the state Human Relations Commission found that it was illegal and racist for a theater manager to tell a mostly-black crowd to turn off their cell phones and be quiet during the show. The HRC fined the theater $80,000. It took the state Supreme Court to overturn that idiotic decision.

One of the aggrieved was the then head of the state HRC itself.

One person in the theater who stood up and announced her opinion that the manager's actions were racist was Juana Fuentes-Bowles, then the director of the state's Human Relations Division, according to the ruling. Fuentes-Bowles, who apparently did not announce her title but said she was "an attorney or someone who worked for an attorney," then collected names and phone numbers of patrons who were offended. A division employee then called patrons and organized a meeting, including Fuentes-Bowles, after which a complaint was drafted.

Fuentes-Bowles also initially signed on to the complaint with 33 others, but later took her name off it so she would not be "a distraction," according to the ruling.

Lovely.
