The problem with out of school suspensions is that for kids who have no parents at home, it becomes a free-for-all for them. A couple of years ago, some kids from a high school in my district spent their day of suspension burglarizing houses and also attacking and robbing a woman of her cellphones. They were eventually caught on the grounds of their school trying to get in the building, but it had been put on lockdown.
1) So?....Schools really are kiddie prisons, as I have been pointing out for years?
2)And.... Then there is the First Amendment conflict between compulsory government kiddie prisons ( oops! “schools”) and the First Amendment Right to free assembly. Who in their right mind would freely assemble with people who rob cell phones? Huh? Yet,....The government** forces** good children with threats of police and court action into assembly with thuggers and thuggettes!
3)Finally...Taxpayers are under police and court threat to pay for this freedom of conscience and First Amendment abomination? ( Misnamed “public” schools)
