Keep Kids Smart Act (Parody on Prop. 73 Opposition in CA)

Note: The below article is my shameless attempt at parody.

As you may have heard, the California Democratic Party along with Planned Parenthood and others are opposing Proposition 73, which would require parents be notified when teens receive abortions.

They are saying that girls may be too afraid to tell their parents and therefore will not receive the treatment they need. Therefore, parents should be kept ignorant for the good of the kids. That makes perfect sense to me.

In fact, I would suggest taking this another step further.

Right now, California Public Schools require that parents see their student's report cards. In addition, teachers may call parents at home to talk about the students.

This terrorizes students. Some parents may severely punish children who receive bad grades. In addition, no child should have to endure the embarrassment of having their teacher call their parent at home.

So therefore, I am proposing the Keep Kids Smart Act. This act will require that teachers get permission from students before sending home a report card or calling a parent.

See, this will help the kids. Some students may just quit school if they find that their teachers are telling their parents things. Also, students may not get the help that they need because they are afraid that if they go to the teacher for help the teacher will tell their parents.

This proposal of mine will fix that. Students will not have to live in fear of their parents finding out about their bad grades and behavior. So therefore, they will not be afraid to get the help that they need in school.

I think that this proposal is critical to our students' success. Please e-mail your favorite liberal legislator today and ask that they endorse it!

This is the type of thinking in the heads of those opposing Proposition 73.
