I feel like school truancy is stupid because good kids who have hard things going on in life, and can't always be in school shouldn't have to bare consequences schools should at least speak with the students . But if a kid doesn't try and it naturally bad they should bare the consequences.

School truancy is an excuse to participate in these hard things in life such as gangs, drugs, and sexual relations so it should be outlawed.

#9 Engaged School Truancy

School truancy is simply the act of skipping school without a formal excuse. Although it CAN be used to participate in those things, so can anything else that frees up time that would otherwise be spent in a governmental institution. Should everyone's entire days be government-operated to prevent crime?

I agree with this statement because its saying that good kids get punished for what bad kids do and they dont get punished for it

 @9H3LKK4Socialist from Virginia  disagreed…3yrs3Y

There are buses provided to students. There’s no excuse other than medical reasons as to why a student would miss enough school to qualify as truant. Even in the situation where the student is unable to go because of a medical condition they shouldn’t get something they didn’t earn.

*Before you read this, sorry for the ramble-y rant.

Agreed, school truancy is kinda dumb. It's like "go to school or your parents go to jail"... :/

I don't think kids should be punished for 'not trying' and being 'naturally bad'. I think school should be more-engaging. Cut out the excess time spent doing nothing! I loved the academic part of school in elementary and middle school, but in high school we learned practically nothing and I dropped out even though I had straight A's because, among other reasons, I doubted that I could even get a GED given…  Read more

If we have more educated, well rounded students and more people are trying to get a good education, this increases the amount of educated and intelligent people around the country, there is nothing wrong with that that i can think of.

 @9H2DDNL from Nebraska  agreed…3yrs3Y

If a child is not going to school, it is harming their education. If they are close to falling under that title of truancy, finding a way to continue education is important. Life is hard but a good school system can help a child who is missing too much school to stay on track.

 @9H2KZLK from Kansas  disagreed…3yrs3Y

Those students may be good kids but no matter what is going on at home there should be a valiant effort in trying to come to school. There should be that conversation had with the family and the student but there needs to be some consequence on not coming to school each day.

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”
