Kudos to a Richmond judge for standing up for our children!
A federal judge in Richmond ruled Thursday that a Virginia nudist colony cannot hold its annual summer camp for teenagers in defiance of a new state law that requires parents or guardians to be present.
Robert Roche, the owner of White Tail Park near Ivor in Southampton County, and the Virginia chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union sought a preliminary injunction against the law.
They hoped the judge would allow juveniles to attend the summer camp later this month without parental supervision.
But U.S. District Judge Richard Williams denied the motion, saying the presence of parents or guardians at the summer camp would not interfere with the children's ability to enjoy themselves.
A trial date is pending for the lawsuit filed in federal court last month by the ACLU. The suit challenges the constitutionality of the law, which would deny a state license to a hotel, summer camp or campground that conducts nudist camps for juveniles
