Bob Unruh wrote in a July 31 WorldNetDaily article:
Cheree Peoples’ daughter Shayla has sickle cell anemia and during the 2013 school year missed 20 days of classes because of chronic pain.
So Kamala Harris, then the prosecuting attorney there in California, sent her to jail.
Peoples publicly opposed Harris’ failed bid for the Democratic nomination for president when she launched a short-lived campaign for the 2020 vote, and again is online with her warning, as Harris appears to be the Democratic Party’s replacement for the mentally failing Joe Biden.
In an online video, she includes short pieces of video of her daughter, weeping and moaning in pain, because of her illness that caused her to miss school that year.
“That is how they wanted me to send my child to school,” Peoples explained.
[…]The Free Beacon reported Peoples’ jailing came after Harris put parents “on notice,” that if their children missed school, the parents would be in jail.
It was under that anti-truancy agenda from Harris that Peoples was jailed.
But Unruh is not telling the full story, and neither is the Free Beacon. As an actual journalistic organization reported, Harris did not order Peoples’ arrest — that was done by a conservative district attorney who was running for re-election and wanted to do a showy “trunacy sweep” to show off to voters. Further, California already had a law holding parents accountable for their children’s truancy; what Harris added to the law was a standardized way for local district attorneys to get involved and to create a system where the school district officials, teachers and parents could all sit down and talk through issues. Harris has also spoken about the unintended consequences of the law — mainly that overaggressive district attorneys would harshly target parents.
But the biased partisan narrative was more important to Unruh than the truth, so the truth remained hidden.
