Why doesn't civil law provide adequate protection for people against sham schools? Has anyone complained about these organizations?
- pmorici 13y agoThere was another article about this posted a couple days ago. Essentially the reasons the law exists in CA is because there were recent high profile civil judgments in the state against similar schools targeting other fields. Suing someone is a major PITA and takes a year or more really not practical in a lot of situations. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7147664 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7147664

- dragonwriter 13y agoNo one is talking about banning a perfectly reasonable enterprise. Talk about strawmen.
- jdreaver 13y agoWhat? That's the whole point of the article.
- dragonwriter 13y agoNo, its not. No one is talking about banning "hacker schools". Schools that have chosen to operate without state-mandated licenses are being told they need to get the license to continue operating. The enterprise isn't being banned.
