A statute of repose is a type of time limitation in civil law that sets a deadline for bringing certain legal claims, regardless of when the cause of action accrues or when the injury or harm occurred. It is different from a statute of limitations, which typically starts running from the time the cause of action accrues or the injury or harm occurs.

Proponents of statutes of repose argue that they serve important legal and policy purposes, such as providing certainty and finality to legal disputes, preventing stale claims and litigation, and promoting economic efficiency. They can be particularly relevant in cases involving long-term liabilities or complex products, where it may be difficult to establish liability or assess damages many years after the alleged harm occurred.

Opponents of statutes of repose argue that they can be unfair to plaintiffs who may not discover injuries or harm until years after the fact, especially in cases involving latent or hidden injuries. They can also result in harsh outcomes for certain types of claims, such as those involving environmental contamination or defective products with long latency periods. Additionally, opponents argue that statutes of repose may disproportionately affect vulnerable populations, such as those with limited access to legal resources or information about their rights.

Ultimately, whether a statute of repose is needed or not depends on the legal and policy goals of a particular jurisdiction, as well as the specific context in which it is being applied. It is a complex and nuanced issue that requires careful consideration of various factors, including the interests of plaintiffs and defendants, the nature of the claims involved, and the overall legal framework of the jurisdiction.

Utilizing the school system and social programs to replace parenting and indoctrinate our young, we are allowing school administrators, teachers, the medical community, insurance companies and the federal and state government to confuse, mutilate and destroy the dreams of our children. The transgendered movement and the mutilation of our children never gains traction without taxpayer funds and insurance companies funding unscrupulous doctors. We have allowed the public school system to hijack our children. Any talk of sex, whether heterosexual sex, homosexuality and gender dysphoria in our children school system should result in criminal charges.
