It used to be a responsibility of a school’s staff to be acting “in loco parentis” (Latin term) and it meant they rushed to call 911 for an ambulance or stopped something from harming a child as though the parent were there.

Now it’s like a Spanish term “they’re really loco.”

Remember, this was the seldom discussed meaning of the African saying “It takes a village” to raise a child, which was Hillary’s attempt through discussion of her book to push schools’ over parents’ rights.
As in all communist countries. Crush the parents’ influence and the State can brainwash the children.

I imagine that the African saying of “it takes a village” was more like growing up 40 years ago or more when it was okay for your neighbor to help or punish a neighbor’s child. (Many places are still like that.) I know I could count on a neighbor to feed me or clean up a wound, and to also punish me if they caught me doing something. Usually the later!

It has nothing to do with the government.

“responsibility of a school’s staff to be acting “in loco parentis” (Latin term)”

Still true, but denied by the socialist insurrection and arrogance of progressives.
