Yesterday, Biden announced that he would disregard pleas from the UK, France, and NATO allies, from members of his own party, and from Americans stranded in Afghanistan, and would obey the Taliban's demand that he withdrawal all U.S. soldiers by August 31.
What does this mean for the families of San Diego high school students and parents stranded in Afghanistan?
At least 24 students from the Cajon Valley Union School District in El Cajon and 16 parents are stranded in Afghanistan after taking a summer trip abroad.
While the Biden administration is disregarding the people it stranded in Afghanistan, you've got a local school district dealing with this.
Cajon Valley Supt. David Miyashiro told school district board members via text message Tuesday that he and other Cajon Valley staff met virtually with U.S. Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Bonsall) and his staff about the situation...
He said that the district was able to provide information on the families and that government officials are working to locate the children and their families. He said he was encouraged by the assistance.
This should have been handled by the State Department. It shouldn't fall to a local school district to do this.
Cajon Valley School Board President Tamara Otero said the families had tickets to fly out of Afghanistan, “but unfortunately they were not able to get to the airport.”
“The biggest concern is that the Taliban closed the airport,” Otero said. “We are so worried about our students that are stuck there. We’ll do the best we can to get them out.”
Cajon Valley School Board member Jo Alegria said the students were in Afghanistan on summer vacation with their families. She said families of the students who are abroad reached out to the district to ask that it hold their places in their classrooms.
But according to Jen Psaki and Jen Rubin, everything is fine.
Idiots.
Who the hell approves a high school trip into a war zone?
There’s got to be more to this story than the corrupt media is reporting.
Sounds about as smart as a summer trip to North Korea or Iran.
No, they were told it was safe. It’s actually an interesting place, on the old Silk Road.
Who in their right mind would imagine a trip to Afghanistan is appropriate for a bunch of HS kids, especially *after* Trump’s publicly announced date for us to be out of the country?
What sort of group would embark on such a”vacation” without our govt. knowing?
And why wouldn’t *someone* have been responsible for ensuring this trip was over before pulling our troops?
Everything is fine. You can bet when this is over at the end of the month everyone who wanted out will have been gotten out. biden and his regime will come out of this smelling like roses and our side will look stupid—again.
There was some earlier discussion on FR that suggested this wasn’t some type of school-sponsored trip. I am not sure what the truth is.
High school..marrying age in Talibanastan.
I’m sorry, but anyone who vacations in a war zone deserves whatever they get. At least the gene pool will get cleaned out a little bit.
Who the hell even CONCEIVES of a trip to a war zone where we have already capitulated and are planning an exit?
How can an entire high school, teachers, administration, parents and students have ZERO common sense?
This beggars disbelief.
I hope there are no American Girl Scout or Brownie Troops stranded there.
Evangelical Christians.
They will most likely be taken hostage by the Taliban, among thousands of other Americans, on September 1, and the demands will be nothing less than the end of the United States for good. In other words, exactly what the Democrats want. Now it’s not just that Americans are terrorists, but cold-hearted bass-turds when they disagree with sending a trillion dollars to the Taliban, because they want to see high school students tortured, abused (yes, in that way), and horrifically murdered on YouTube and TikTok. Sad times ahead, and one I predicted over a year ago.
Your thinking of grammar school. The talibanimals like their little boys and girls. Just like jao xiden!
Could iit be that these students are Afghan-Americans gone back to visit family….prob on school district or taxpayer money…
Enquiring minds want to know the whole story
May be weddings ahead for the girls
Sounds like a job for Seal Team 6, if Biden can keep his mouth shut.
