"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
School Truancy Laws Jail Parents and Levy Excessive Fines
Move over, traffic court, it's time for a new money-making scheme! Disguised as well-meaning attempts to resolve attendance issues in the schools, school truancy laws are nothing less than stealth maneuvers aimed at enriching school districts and court systems alike through excessive fines and jail sentences. Even worse, argues John Whitehead in this week's vodcast, America's youth are now finding themselves in a protracted battle brought about by those whom they are supposed to trust: teachers, police officers, and courts of law.
