#MaleChauvinisticPigsGalore continues - in North Carolina, a male judge rules it is "inappropriate" to breastfeed a child in a courtroom

Today, Judge Peter Knight, 60, of North Carolina Henderson County court, kicked a breastfeeding woman out of court, because, he said, breastfeeding a baby in the courtroom is inappropriate.

Here is some history about Judge Knight - all benign, posted about him as part of his re-election campaign.



Seems like a garden variety ordinary guy - not as a crazy puritan fundamentalist on the bench.

And yet he is.

I just wrote a blog about two other judges with interesting last names committing misconduct in Louisiana - Judge Free and Judge Best.

Judge Free was suspended for corruption.

Judge Best was investigated for cutting probation, ex parte, to a sex offender whom the judge personally knew through the judge's church choir.

This is Judge Knight.

You cannot make it up.

A Knight in shining armor kicked out a breastfeeding mother out of a public building because it is inappropriate to feed your child when that child wants to be fed.

Judge Knight was quoted as saying in 2012:  ""When you practice law, you typically don't get to do much study of the law".

Well, he should.

At least, not to come across as a caveman and an embarrassment, in our day and age.

Unfortunately, Judge Knight is not alone in his cavemen mentality and actions.

I wrote on this blog about male chauvinistic pigs like Judge Knight in Nevada and in Michigan.

Now it is happening in North Carolina.
