What is going on in Colorado?

I've been dismayed at the bungling by the court in the Kobe case. It is not reassuring to read the text of the Judge Terry Ruckriegle's apology.

Several years ago when this court began sponsoring classes called parenting with love and logic, a man named Jim Fay taught me, and thousands of other parents, that when children and people make mistakes, they should not be castigated and ridiculed. He called those mistakes SLOs, significant learning opportunities, where the people making the mistakes and those around them learned lessons in life and grew from them as part of their development.

It seems never to have dawned on this new-age weenie that managing employees is not the same thing as raising pre-schoolers.
