They can spy on you, but don’t you DARE spy on them!

Except school shooters aren’t strangers off the street but known students.

But the Texas mother insisted she wasn’t seeking to break the law or gain online notoriety — instead, she said, her “social experiment” was meant to show the lack of safety protocols at schools and to illustrate how vulnerable students are to threats, especially mass shootings.

She embarrassed the heck out of them and they retaliated by having her arrested for committing no crime.

If the school administrators had any honor or concern for the kids, they would be thanking, not prosecuting the parent. This lady should run for the school board and be a royal pain in the Biden to the school adminstration.

Since the Columbine High School massacre in 1999, more than 248,000 children at 260 schools have experienced gun violence, according to data compiled by The Post.

I don't believe this.

“associated as a parent” with the school?? What kind of assholery thinking/speech is this, English -2.0?

Didn’t know that schools had “family”. My daughter used to sit in on some of my granddaughter’s classes and the teachers like that kind of concern and involvement (beyond the PTA).

It also gave the parents an inside view on how the school and classes were being run (in those days, they were pretty good).

On one visit (I used to pick my granddaughter up when my daughter couldn’t), I noticed a major hole in the playground’s wire fence (a 6 footer) that was right next to a jogging trail (providing an easy escape root for a child kidnapper/rapist).

My daughter reported it to the principal and it was fixed in less than 24 hours. There were too many attacks on female joggers at a nearby exercise trail to risk anything.

Back then, common sense was the “norm”, not useless “diversity” lectures and no police resource officers on site.

This mother should be “thanked” for her efforts to improve school safety. It seems the school District Superintendent should be publicly thanking her for exposing a potential “breach of security”.

I suspect and hope that Gov. Abbott will have something to say about this, with a club in his hand.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

“. . .more than 248,000 children at 260 schools have experienced gun violence,. . .”

Almost all inner city heck-holes and by gangs.

If you care about your kids, homeschool.

made it almost all the way to the last class period.

Only then, Garcia said in a video, did a teacher notice she was not actually a student — she was the 30-year-old mother of one of the seventh-graders.

Hm. She must be pretty short, and have a more-developed daughter than most. Even with sweatshirt and mask, she does not look like a seventh-grader at all. How did none of the teachers not notice one of their students looks different? Not notice she wasn't interacting with the other kids like the daughter normally would? I assume she avoided answering any questions or talking to the classroom teachers much directly... Cause after a year, even masked, teachers should be able to recognize their kids I would think...
