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.

Even now, despite that rebuke, the Biden DOE launched an alternative scheme last month in an end-around effort to achieve that same result.

A federal lawsuit involving roommate grievances has been settled between two Penn State sorority sisters.

Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority sister Molly Brownstein claimed she was the target of extended bullying by her roommate, Rachel Lader. Both girls threw accusations at each other, eventually resulting in Lader, an aspiring attorney, filing a defamation and breach-of-contract lawsuit against Brownstein's parents. According to news reports, Lader claimed in her lawsuit that Brownstein's parents used their position as university donors to influence a disciplinary investigation against Lader, which ultimately resulted in Lader being put on academic probation.

The sorority sisters' spat heated up while the girls lived together on a study abroad semester, allegedly coming to a head when Lader brought a man back to the women's hotel room in Prague, played music too loudly in their shared Barcelona apartment and dumped a colander of pasta on Brownstein's bed.

“Rachel bullied me to the point where I had to leave in the middle of the night in an area where people get stabbed outside my building,” Ms. Brownstein wrote in the memo. “Whenever I think about it, it brings me to a full-on terrible place and makes me completely depressed.”

Ms. Lader denied the allegations. “The alleged conduct complained of by Molly Brownstein is without any merit and is nothing more than slander and harassment by (her) and her mother to have me thrown out of school,” Ms. Lader wrote in response.

Lader dropped the lawsuit several days after filing it. Brownstein's father said, "the girls hugged and made up."
