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.
The mother is a disabled veteran.
I’m not super pro-military or anything, but a veteran, especially a disabled veteran, deserves to be taken care of by the country they sacrificed for.
Obviously, the school deserves to be sued for what they did, but those kids should never have been homeless in the first place. They should have been housed by the U.S. military on the military’s dime.
The military certainly has the money. Build a single less B-1 (or whatever the new hotness stealth airplane or destroyer is) and you could probably house every single homeless vet. Maybe every homeless person. Idk but those things are insanely expensive.
The F-35 program cost taxpayers $1.7 trillion.
But hey, at least they fly well enough for us to give them to Israel I guess…
This is 100% false. Pure disinformation. The $1.5T figure is for all costs associated with the program through to the aircraft’s end of life in the year 2070.
How about the 2.3 trillion dollars spent in Afghanistan to replace the Taliban with the Taliban?
How about how cereal boxes keep getting smaller but the price stays the same? That has about as much to do with military procurement as your comment.
True, people paid for it with inflation and stagnant wages
Laws in the US are so cruel to the poor. It is effectively apartheid.
