The child is on the honor roll according to the mom. She is not some drug-addled single mom in a trailer park.

Wow...amazing to watch conservatives immediately side with the government school and the police. Heck my senior year of high school I missed over 25 days of school. Took off every Wed to hang out with my dad (retired HS teacher). BTW I would ask to pull the records of every teacher and administrator and see how many days of work they missed this year.

The important questions to ask here are, “Why do we have compulsory education laws? What about the First Amendment right to free assembly?”

The government is violating his ( and his mother's ) First Amendment Right to free assembly by forcing him into a prison-like environment. The government is also trashing the First Amendment Rights of the other children who are forced into assembly with a kid who shouldn't be there as he would likely make their lives miserable.
