pipedreams Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Good! "A young girl’s family filed a ‘gender bias’ lawsuit against an established boys’ choir and lost after a judge ruled the group’s right to freely control its artistic expression could be infringed upon if forced to admit a female singer. The German State and Cathedral Choir was allowed to preserve a boys-only tradition it has held since its founding in 1465 by Frederick II, Prince-Elector of Brandenburg." https://www.newswars.com/girl-sues-500-year-old-boys-choir-for-gender-bias-loses/ 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bish1309 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Outstanding! I hope those parents got a taste of reality they weren't prepared for. Their precious princess got put in her place. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maser Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Girl probably sings like a rusty hinge so no big loss to the boy's choir. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
railfancwb Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Would have been nice had the Boy Scouts of America held firm, but they were probably a lost cause by the time the question arose. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Historian Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 (edited) We must give time to and accept: Madam Florence Foster Jenkins for her skill and talent. She had a lot of money and basically paid her way into high society. Scotch me again. Edited August 19, 2019 by Historian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PATCHMAN Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 (edited) So the fat lady is not singing at the 500-years old boys choir. Good for the boys choir to fight this. And the court for its reasonable decision. Edited August 20, 2019 by PATCHMAN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
