Kamala the Quack: Jailing Parents of Black Sickle Cell Anemia Patients

Sickle cell anemia may have actually been a survival response in Africa because the parasite that causes this disease has trouble with misshapen red blood cells. It’s otherwise a very mixed blessing because it conveys no benefits at all where malaria is not present, but it does cause enormous suffering. Donated blood plays an important role in its control and treatment.
Kamala Harris did not actually say that jail cures this disease, but she seems to think it is an appropriate treatment for the parents of Black children who miss school because of it. I first heard this story in a video by Robert Kennedy, who has his own axe to grind, so I fact-checked it, and let’s just say that the Huffington Post is anything but a right-wing or pro-Republican source. Cheree Peoples was arrested because her daughter Shayla missed too many days of school, not because she was a bad student (she finished with a 3.8 GPA) but because sickle cell anemia sent her repeatedly to the hospital.
Shayla frequently missed school because she was in too much pain to leave the house or was hospitalized for long-term care. Her school was aware of these circumstances; it had records on file from the regional children’s hospital explaining that Shayla’s condition would necessitate unpredictable absences and special educational accommodations.
How did Kamala Harris help this black child who was struggling to get an education, and doing so successfully, despite the challenge of sickle cell anemia? She arrested her mother, paraded her through the streets in handcuffs, and forced her to spend years fighting junk criminal charges that were eventually dismissed.

Let us not forget either Harris’s record of withholding exculpatory evidence, to the detriment of countless people. All of this reflects squarely on Harris’s fitness for any position of responsibility.
Thank you SeekAndFind, I am so glad that this story is starting to get the attention that it deserves.
She should have burned a city down instead. Commie-la would have paid to bail her out.
Government employees who do this should spend the rest of their natural lives in a maximum security prison, in general population.
