Truant school kids get surprise trip to jail /( School:Training to be prisoners of the state)
This video is 2:37 minutes long.
Questions:
Adult prison? Really? Wow! Imagine the lessons taught there!
Why are communities demanding that 18 year old young men ( whose only crime was to be born) attend prison-like school where they are treated in many ways like a state prisoner?
Why should a community do to this to a 17 year old or to any child of any age? These children have committed no crime but the state treats them like prisoners in their prison-like state schools.
What impact will this imprisonment have on the future lives of these young people in this video? ( Please, remember that they have **rationally** rebelled against being treated like a state prisoner in their prison-like state schools.)
What is the impact of having unwilling inmates in prison-like schools on the education of those who are compliant in their prison-like schools?
With the increasing criminalization of childhood behavior, that in the past would have been treated as a learning opportunity, what will be the consequences for our nation?
What will be the consequences of having a nation of voters who have been trained in the prison-like state schools to be comfortable with being state prisoners?
Please remember that behind every government school teacher stand armed police, courts, handcuffs, and hard-time prison. ( Real bullets in those guns on the hip.) Isn't this video proof enough of that?
By the way, although the judge was quoted as saying that kids who are not in school are committing crimes, there was no mention of these young people committing crime ( except for being born and refusing to being treated like a prisoner of the state.)

Did you watch the video. In the court scenes there is no mention of criminal activity other than refusing to go to school ( where they are treated like prisoners.)
My grandparents and parents would be appalled that an EIGHTEEN year old man would be sentenced to lock up for not attending school.
Personally, I think it is **rational** to refuse to be treated like a criminal when the only crime is being born.
Skipping school is not at the same level of immoral behavior as breaking and entering and theft. Making government schooling compulsory and missing it a crime is over the top.
I have removed my son from school, because of the way the teachers were treating him. They were abusive and I called them on it, and took my child back. The teacher my son had, had her own child in class and would publicly humiliate her own child, in front of his peers. She would ask him to stand in the front and ask questions, in front of the class, that she knew he didn’t know the answer to- refused to allow classmates to help him, and then mock him for not knowing the answer.
I suspect she was a drunk, based upon the rambling and incoherent emails I got from her, and the way she graded my son’s papers, at night. During the day, a different person- yet wildly passive aggressive still.
The principal threatened me, for saying that I thought humiliating her own child in front of my child , was child abuse. He threatened ME, that there could be a lawsuit for such a claim and he would refuse to hear me about it.
Very subversive and nasty people.
That was week 3 of school. I didn’t wait for them to do serious damage, either. Move fast to protect your child.
For people to accept the idea that government can mandate or even be allowed to have children 8 hours per day in a government building to rule them for that time , is abominable to me and should be to anyone that has any brain cell in their head. When you allow government do to anything you empower government and at the same take take away individual rights and freedom. democrats love to do this and love government.
All government should be allowed to do is military,border control , international issues. And at the local level all government should be allowed is police , courts to settle act as a referee and to enforce just a handful of basic criminal laws obvious to anyone that protect individual rights to property( no theft, no trespassing), no murder, no assault , no robbery, etc. Also allow a few basic civil fair laws that allow suing to settle contracts,disputes . etc.
What the crap are you talking about with the only crime is being born. These deadbeats were skipping school and not staying home (as the video states) but going around causing trouble breaking and entering, burglarizing etc. You are making excuses for these perfect little angels. People like you are the problem. I think this would sort of wake these kids up so they don’t go down the path of criminal activity like they are already. What do you say of the 14 year old girl that was skipping school (more than once, none of these people were first time offenders) and her mother forged a note for her? I’m glad the judge threw both the girl and her mother in jail to teach them a lesson.
So you are basically making excuses for f**k up teenagers that like to skip school too? Sounds like the parents here are more to blame than the kids if this is the case. When I went to public school I never skipped school once.
At 18 and he is still in high school to me says he is a f**k up and got left back at least one year. If he doesn’t want to be in school he can just drop out of high school like the dead beat he seems to be.
But...Let's say they were involved in serious crime, such as breaking and entering, why would any thinking parent want these kids in a regular prison-like school? Would you want your child forced into association with real criminals?
Does this make sense to you?
Exactly!
The increasing prison-like treatment of our nation's children in their prison-like schools will have consequences in a few years in the voting booth. ( If we still have voting.)
Where'd I say that? Post the link.
If the kid is engaged in actual criminal activity, then prosecute them for it, but skipping school is not a matter of morals and criminal behavior as is theft, breaking and entering, forgery, etc.
Skipping school should not be a crime. School should not be mandatory under threat of state action. That reduces our country to a police state.
Sounds like the parents here are more to blame than the kids if this is the case.
Messed up kids are the result of messed up parents. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
But mandatory public school attendance is not the answer or solution. So what if they skip school to commit crimes? If they were in school, they'd just wait until the school day is over. Being in school is not going to stop them. It will not straighten out messed up kids and unless they're kept there under guard 24/7, then they will still be committing the crimes, just on a different time schedule.
When I went to public school I never skipped school once.
So what?
That’s why schools today look like prisons. Because they are run in much the same way. Attending Middle School and High School in many places is less safe than being in prison, though.
What the hell are you talking about prison-like school? They are habitual criminals and have to face the music. I’d say throw the book at these deadbeats. If I had a kid that was skipping school when he or she was supposed to be in school not only would they get an a$$beating I’d want the judge to teach them a lesson. Botton line though is I’m sure my kids would think twice before skipping school as my wrath would be worse than any judge.
I expect the prison-like conditions of our nation’s schools will grow worse. It will have consequences in a few years in the voting booth.
****************************************
I agree , but I see it as a huge negative , it will breed docile compliant robots that will vote for even more of this cr*p as to then it is normal ,, “like home”.
so what? You make excuses for criminal teen behavior but just say “so what?” about kids that do the right thing.... Might want to change your signature if you’re really a Christian metmom...
Did the peoplke responding in this thread even watch the video?
*************************************
We don’t need the video , we live it... Do you need to show a video to a 60 year old Russian about bread lines?
My town just outlawed ALL on-street parking and they are very selective about enforcement ... and that’s just the latest outrage. They’re bleeding us dry.. death by 1000 cuts.
There are alternatives... private school and home schooling... If I had a child of school age I would consider the alternative choices as public school now seems like a cesspool of liberal indoctrination and I’d want my kid(s) far away from that crap as possible.
I agree with you on the liberal nature of things, but how does this apply to the kids CHOOSING to skip school. That is what the focus should be on.
I do? Show me where I make excuses for criminal behavior.
I find that your false accusations hardly put you in a position to judge another on the validity of their profession of faith.
If and when tyranny comes to our nation, the oligarchy will not use cattle cars. No. No.
They will use big yellow school buses and the sheeple will compliantly board them just as their prison-like government schools taught them.
good point you learned your lesson. I guess wintertime is OK with kids skipping school instead of teaching them a lesson.
