How exactly is that? In just what way does it disrespect any of those things? Plenty of people have said so, yet none have explained just how it does.

The only thing this thread has convinced me off is this:

Next baby I have, I'm going to go out of my way to breastfeed in public places.

Me too!

... Wait, I do not have breasts... I ain't even female.

Aw, heck! Me too!

Well, what the action/decision conveys is basically "ok, screw whatever you guys are doing over there, it's not important enough for me to even pretend to be interested in... I'm going to sit in this corner and do something that's only convenient to me, even though it might cause a disturbance" (by which I am referring to the baby possibly acting up, not people being offended to see her breastfeed). If she were say watching a ballgame, fair enough. But in a Courtroom in session, the proceedings hold the utmost priority and the Judge is the highest authority. That she didn't bother to ask and just decided on her own to start feeding in the room shows blatant disregard for the Judge's presence, much less authority. It's disrespectful in the same way a child who stands up in the middle of class and leaves without so much as a word to the teacher speaking.

If she had asked but was forbidden from leaving the room or feeding her child but did anyway, that's a different matter in regards to respect (the Judge should allow her to be excused, and then her continuing despite being told she cannot take any action to tend to her child would be admirable in the sense that she put her child's needs above her own need to stay out of trouble).

More disrespectful to keep the kid quiet by feeding it, or more disrespectful to ignore the kids needs and have it get fussier and louder?

I don't give a damn about where you are or what you are doing - if you have a baby with you - the child's needs come first. ALWAYS!!!! I would bet my life savings that had Mom not gone ahead and fed the babe, the judge would have been most displeased with the disruption to his courtroom, and would have sternly instructed the mom to look after her child.

Status: offline 		Actually some of us HAVE had to deal with hungry babies and HAVE breast fed both, (and in public even) but still don't agree with breastfeeding in court. Did you read her suggestions? They were reasonable suggestions.

Is anyone here still in college? I can tell you what my professors would have said had I dared even bring a child/baby into their classroom, let alone breastfed in the middle of a lecture. Is a courtroom not entitled to at least as much respect as a classroom?

I have been at university faculty meetings when one of the professors was breast feeding. Noone thought twice about it.

That is a gathering of equals. I am asking specifically about a classroom. Now...maybe...somewhere...there's a professor that wouldn't mind that-there is an exception for every rule. But when I was attending college (being taught mainly by attorneys btw) that would not have been tolerated. Even bringing a child into the classroom was verboten.

The courts here allow you to call and re-schedule with no penalty. (unless you do it over and over again)

I've done it on the very day with cases similar to hers. (seatbelt violation, etc.) They have those cases on certain days every week, so it's not a big deal as long as you keep the court informed.

One of my professors gave my son a Belkie Bear as a gift. Another gave him a child's bank and stuck 10 dollars in it. Granted these were not the type of classes you took. Upper level business classes. But my professors were very accommodating. Not to mention I had him by c-section. Being able to return to classes in 2 weeks with a new born in tow... lol... thomas had his own spot for the carriage in the back of the classes.
