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.

Kelly Counts of Plano, Texas, is being sued by her neighbors, Irving and Anita Ward, for allegedly upsetting their "tranquil quality of life" and "creating noise issues as well as visibility issues for them and their pets."

“It’s unfathomable to me. I can’t imagine the sound of kids playing at any age or stage of my life and thinking that I needed to sue someone over it,” says Counts. 

The Wards claim the children, aged 10, 7, 4 and 2, are homeschooled and so the noise never stops.

“The Wards have never once asked me to tone down the noise of the kids playing,” says Counts.

According to news reports, Counts countered with a lawsuit against the Wards over explicit music she claims they play in retaliation to drown out her children's laughter. Since the City of Plano and her HOA have approved the playhouse, the Counts don’t plan to move it.

Both sides are seeking damages.
