New California law will turn public schools into undisciplined free-for-all zones with students running roughshod over teachers
Gee, what could possibly go wrong with this?
The Democrats who rule California remind us of juvenile delinquents who managed to grow up and find themselves in charge of things, enacting laws based not on common sense or the public good but instead on the whims of childlike fantasies.
The latest absurdity is aimed at disrupting every single public school in the state, as highlighted in a tweet from Andrew Pollack, whose daughter, Meadow, was murdered at Parkland High in Florida by a crazed teen lunatic the system failed to identify and stop.
“These are the same liberal democrat policies that led to my daughter getting murdered.
Parents it’s your responsibility where your kids go to school.
Time for home school or private. Don’t roll the dice with your child’s safety!”
“These are the same liberal democrat policies that led to my daughter getting murdered.

REST OF THE ARTICLE:
That’s right: Soon, no school in California will be able to suspend some students for disobeying a teacher.
Mind you, the Left-wing policies of the Obama Department of Education failed to hold Parkland shooter Nicolas Cruz accountable, as did the principle of the school.
KRON reports:
Starting next school year, it will be illegal for public schools in the state to suspend students in first through fifth grade for willfully defying teachers or administrators.
Then, from 2021 through 2025, it will be temporarily extended to kids in grades six through eight.
Supporters say suspensions for willful defiance are disproportionately used against students of color.
Oh, of course. So tolerant, liberal California is intolerant, bigoted, racist California. Right.
So, if the youngest students aren’t taught to behave in class, who believes they are going to grow up to be disciplined students in junior high and high school (other than the lunatics who passed this law)?
Worse, the new mandates are actually certain to cause disruption and willful defiance. KRON also notes:
Limiting and banning smartphone use is at the center of another law affecting schools in 2020.
School boards will have the power to ban devices with the exception of emergencies or other special situations, such as medical reasons.
Supporters say smart phone use is linked to lower student performance and interferes with the educational mission of schools.
Okay, so what happens when a ‘student of color’ gets his or her smartphone taken away?
Again, while these new laws are 100 percent California, the trend away from holding students (and their parents) responsible for poor behavior in class has its origins in the Obama administration (surprise!). And for the same alleged reason…racism!
The Daily Signal:
As is typical with so many other policies, federal meddling in what should be a local matter leads to poor results.
This is the conclusion reached Monday by a Heritage Foundation panel about a school discipline initiative, launched by the Obama administration, that suddenly became the subject of national debate after the Feb. 14 massacre at a high school in Parkland, Florida.
A “Dear Colleague” letter from the Department of Education in 2014—designed to crack down on racial disparities in school discipline and reduce the “school to prison pipeline”—created negative unintended consequences, according to Manhattan Institute scholar Max Eden, who was on the panel.
Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., recently suggested in a memo to Education Secretary Betsy DeVos that the guidance to schools led to “systematic failures” to report the Parkland shooter to legal authorities.
Specifically, the panel found:
Schools Feared Investigation, Adopted Lower Standards for Discipline
Unwillingness to Punish Minority Students Put Other Minority Students in Danger
Teachers Feel Like They Have Lost Control (say it isn’t so!)
Arrests and Suspensions Went Down, So Did Academic Standards (because disruptive students disrupt the education process…duh)
Federal Meddling Leads to Local Failure
California, completely ruled by the Garbage Party, is a basket case in terms of the negative impact of public policies regarding homelessness, pot use, taxes, overregulation…and now public schools.
If you live there, get out while you can.
bttt
Time to move to a good homeschooling state.
Let that sink in.
HombreSecreto School Principal solution:
1. Immediately promote any miscreant to 6th Grade.
2. Expel them.
3. If 6th Grade isn’t high enough, 9th Grade.
4. Then expel them.
will turn ?
When, if ever, will citizens of Kalifornia throw these “progressive” bums out of office?
I think this is an important issue for Trump to address in the coming campaign. Maybe he should promise to promote some kind of federal bill of rights for parents who are forced to pay property taxes to support schools that fail to teach and instead become laboratories for communist ideology.
Were bad schools built bad, or were they once good and mysteriously became bad?
My 3rd grade teacher could wield a wooden yardstick like a champ. Kids did not step out of line once she proved she would use it.
“Maybe he should promise to promote some kind of federal bill of rights for parents who are forced to pay property taxes to support schools that fail to teach and instead become laboratories for communist ideology.”
Can’t do that. It would shirley cause intense irrational hatred against the president followed by resistance to every possible action he may take to solve any problem. They may even ‘peach him for it if he comes too close to offering up solutions that breach effectiveness
Yeah, I hadn’t thought of that possibility. :)
It will be an absolute catastrophe. Good teachers won’t put up with it and leave the state, resulting in a lowering of hiring standards to the point where the most ignorant of society will be in charge instilling values to the youth, like every other liberal controlled hellhole.
That is the objective..................
Feral, completely uncontrollable teens now in charge.
The state will likely soon be bleeding teachers, they’ll be leaving the public school system in droves.
They already are out of control, this is their way of raising the illiteracy rate from 65% to 90% so they can keep them enslaved in dependence.

Kali is a big state...lots of crazy leftist A-holes, rich and poor. There just aren’t the number of reasonable people to ever vote them out. California is done.
