RePost:Kamala Harris Wants to Federalize Truancy Prosecution

Sen. Kamala Harris (D., Calif.) said that she would bring school truancy under the auspices of the Department of Education if elected president.

Harris has faced backlash for her "tough on truancy" policy while San Francisco district attorney and California attorney general, which led to the arrest of parents whose children missed too many school days. Her recent comments on a liberal podcast suggest that in spite of her stated ambivalence about past enforcement, she would forge ahead in making California's truancy law America's truancy law.

Harris's comments came during an interview with Angela Rye, a lawyer and liberal political commentator. Rye asked Harris if she would "extend the [anti-truancy] program on a federal level, or try to figure out ways to address truancy on a federal level?"

"Yeah," Harris responded, "but as president it would be really doing it through the Department of Education. I did it through the mechanisms I had, because I wasn't running the city, I wasn't running the county. I wasn't running the state."

Rye pressed her, asking, "do you think the Department of Education is more suited to handle truancy issues?"

"Yeah, I do," Harris said.(snip)

Kamala Harris is laughing about arresting parents and destroying their lives.
Pass this video to others.

This is the single-most devastating ad for Kamala Harris

Sen. Kamala Harris (D., Calif.) said that she would bring school truancy under the auspices of the Department of Education if elected president.

On the other hand, President Donald Trump said he would abolish the Department of Education altogether if elected president.

We shall see.

Doubt there’s a mechanism for her to do this.

Maybe by way of a school district’s receipt of Title 1 funds?

Federal School Lunch funds?

?

It is a sad commentary on the evolved state of our widely held constitutional understanding when the whole idea of the federal government regulating education, much less jailing parents of truant children, fails to stimulate debate on a general level about the constitutionality of these measures.

Agreed.

There’s little chance of this coming to fruition.

I find it kind of interesting that she wants to punish the parents. One would think the Democrat along withe minister of lawfare would want to incarcerate the juvenile into a re-education type of boot camp and fully indoctrinate physically, mentally, and if course hormonally.

Democrat Kamala Harris was happy to destroy lives over truancy.

I’m not saying truancy is a good thing; I’m saying Democrat Kamala Harris is a real piece of work.

If you see the ad, you’ll understand why I say that.

She’s too stupid to realize that the fed cannot prosecute stuff like that. Only thing the Department of Education can do is to threaten to withhold money. She’s a real moron.

The Kamala Campaign closing argument for the campaign seems to be, I’ll arrest parents for their kids truancy.

And.

I’ll prevent the evil Republicans from entering your bedroom and stopping you from rubbing one out in private while watching porn on your cell phone.

In all seriousness, Kamala being from California has never had to really campaign for any election she’s been involved with, Democrats rule the state and whoever is anointed by the Democrats gets elected.

Now she’s running for POTUS and has to actually campaign all across the country and has no idea what to do and the results are showing, she’s terrible as a candidate and sleeping her way to the top is not actually campaigning for office.

I wonder if we can expect the same from Newsome for similar reasons.

Watched it....pretty disgusting. The more you learn about her, the more you know she’s a vicious person with a self serving agenda.
