2010 video shows Kamala Harris boasting about prosecuting parents, including homeless mom with two jobs, whose kids missed classes
In a 2010 video, Sen. Kamala Harris, who at the time was Californias attorney general, described with self-satisfaction how being tough on truancy got results when she was San Franciscos district attorney.
Harris said parents responded to a new approach, led by her office, that called for threatening them with criminal charges and jail if their kids had chronic school absences.
Laughing, Harris said she wanted to scare parents by sending prosecutors who worked on gang and murder cases to meet with them about their childrens truancy.

I think POTUS would agree with you.
Offer parents a voucher for education every semester. If the student doesnt show up next semester the parents have to pay tuition and the forfeited voucher goes to the local police departments.
I don’t think there’s an argument about tough love, I think it’s the smirking that is annoying.
What did she do in CA to help thin out the bum populace?
“A ‘hole lot o’ nuffin!”
In fact, since bums are so precious to CA gummint, she likely “advanced” having them deficate all over San Fransicko.
Boy is she full of herself. Using words like “collective” are commie code words. This woman is truly dangerous. Power is what these people desire like a vampire lusts for blood.

There, she goes on to talk about the homeless mom.
Power is obtained by those who will stoop low enough to pick it up.
That’s not a bad idea! Sad to have to use that, but...good in that it might work if implemented correctly!
Correction: She starts talking about truancy at 13:44.

Well, that beotch Hillary! set the bar pretty low when she LAUGHED while getting the rapist of a TWELVE YEAR OLD off the hook!
What is WRONG with these creatures who CALL themselves ‘women?’
Democrats are eating their own trying to primary one another.
They even did this to the Clintons in 2008 saying how both of them were racists.
No, they are not. Today's schools are nothing about teaching how to think, and everything about teaching what to think.
Shes not eligible to be president.
Well I am Uber conservative and frankly if they don’t want to go to school then as far as I’m concerned that’s just fine with me.
Chronic truants are never going to learn anything in school and they’re going to do nothing but disrupt it for the few children that are interested in learning. And on top of all of that the schools are teaching nothing anyway except adherence to the state and socialism.
Here’s a little clue about why the state in the school systems are so concerned having morons attend school everyday. It’s all about money. Every time one of these kids doesn’t come to school the school district losses Federal money which is based on attendance days. They don’t give a damn whether these kids learn to walk upright and wipe their own butts. As long as they get those federal dollars.
I dealt with these idiots for several years when my daughter was in high school after she had been home-schooled. The school wouldn’t let her take allergy medicine at school so whenever her sinuses bothered her I let her stay home. She missed 14 days in her junior year and I was called on the carpet by the fascist bureaucrats at the school. I pointed out why she was home, I also pointed out that she was a straight-A student in all advanced classes and what did they think she was missing? They tried to claim that I couldn’t know if she was home, and I pointed out that I had an office at home and was well aware of where she was.
I suggested that their time might be better spent going after kids who missed 50 to 100 days a year who gave the schools fake addresses and the schools didn’t even know where they lived and were failing everything rather than a scholarship student. They dropped the whole matter.
Prosecuting the parents of high school students who are truants is completely stupid and even more ineffectual.
She wears Jimmy Choo jackboots.
Tough love on our kids can’t happen with today’s laws. First time a parent escorts their kid into school and demands to follow him around all day, the school will have the goon squad escort the parent out.
I think most conservatives do support truancy laws, but we know theyre largely ignored these days, so why lose sleep.
I think this threads issue is Kamalas duplicity.
She is Hillary II, even has the cackle.
Bookmarked for later.
