North Carolina mother sues school district for kicking her homeless kids out of class - eviltoast

A woman in North Carolina is suing a school district, alleging officials forced her children to switch schools while they experienced homelessness.

The suit from the mother, identified as K.L., claims Gaston County Schools; Lisa Phillips, state coordinator for Education of Homeless Children; and the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction failed her children when the district forced the children to leave their original schools while already facing the trauma of homelessness.

The 17-page lawsuit filed on Jan. 26 states K.L. was evicted from her residence in September 2023 while her children were students at New Hope Elementary and Cramerton Middle School.

With two children and nowhere to go, the suit states the disabled veteran mother switched both children to car riders while searching for steady housing. While the family remained in the same city, they were not located in the same school zone following the eviction.

    Your take is so far off the mark. Conservative voices have screamed for decades about supporting the troops as some form of projected nationalism. This was all just fine until Trump came along and started being horrid to veterans, especially those who were captured, injured, or killed. Then Conservatives started becoming directly hostile towards veteran families.

    The point here is that Conservatives chanted the chant but never got behind making life better for veterans. The person you are responding to simply pointed out this discordance.
