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.
especially a disabled veteran
Why is a veteran more deserving of care than a teacher, a firefighter, a nurse, a construction worker, or literally any one else serving their community? Is it because they kill people and destabilize countries at the behest of corporations?
This is heartbreaking. Alone the fact that there is such a thing as “homeless children” is heartbreaking. The US really needs some help.
Nah, we good, we have god, guns, and nukes. 🫡🇺🇲
I hope you’re sarcastic
Shitty thing is that we have to even guess.
Split representation in the House (72-48 in the state and 7-7 at the federal level, R favor), a 5-2 split in their supreme court (R favor) and 2 republican US senators (30-20 state level in the Republicans favor) is the reason why. Stop voting Red and your state won’t be so shitty towards people
Laws in the US are so cruel to the poor. It is effectively apartheid.
