More Legal Shenanigans from the Biden Administration’s Department of Education

Among the foremost threats to individual freedom in America is the abusive and oftentimes lawless behavior of federal administrative agencies, whose vast armies of overpaid bureaucrats remain unaccountable for their excesses.

Among the most familiar examples of that bureaucratic abuse is the Department of Education (DOE).  Recall, for instance, the United States Supreme Court’s humiliating rebuke last year of the Biden DOE’s effort to shift hundreds of billions of dollars of student debt from the people who actually owed them onto the backs of American taxpayers.

An Oregon couple has been awarded nearly $240,000 in damages after suing their neighbors because of their constantly barking dogs.
 
Dale and Debra Krein sued their neighbors, John Updegraff and Karen Szewc, for what they described was a decade of ceaseless barking by the defendants’ Tibetan mastiffs. According to news reports, the defendants started breeding the dogs at their home around 2002. The plaintiffs claimed the dogs would often begin barking at 5 a.m. and wouldn’t stop all day. Despite being cited by the Jackson County Animal Control in 2002 and 2004 for violating public nuisance codes, the barking continued. The Kreins sued.
 
In the lawsuit, defendants claimed their dogs were necessary to protect their livestock from predators. The court, however, found that the Tibetan mastiffs weren't ideally suited to be livestock guardians and ordered them debarked within 60 days or replaced with a more suitable breed.
