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.

American Airlines reportedly is being sued by a passenger who claims he was wedged into a window seat next to two obese passengers on a 14-hour flight.

Michael Anthony Taylor took a flight from Sydney, Australia, to Los Angeles, California, on December 28, 2015. Taylor, who suffers with scoliosis, claims he has suffered permanent neck and back problems as a result of the flight. According to news reports, Taylor said that airline officials wouldn’t allow him to move seats, describing his seating arrangement for most of the flight as “crouching, kneeling, bracing or standing.”

American Airlines recently announced it is decreasing its space between seats from 31 inches to 29 inches.

“If Michael is successful, this throws open the doors to potentially a large amount of cases against airlines and how they’ve designed their seating and how they seat passengers,” Taylor’s lawyer Thomas Janson said. “There will be a huge outcry against the way airlines furnish their cabins, particularly in economy.”

American Airlines issued a statement saying, "We just received the lawsuit and we are reviewing the allegations.”
