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.
Can we at least agree that people should never be homeless? No?
Can we at least agree that disabled people should never be homeless? Still no?
How about veterans? Once again no.
Disabled veterans with children? Believe it or not, also no.
Can we agree that the wealthiest country on Earth shouldn’t have these problems?
Laughs in late-stage capitalism.
But think about those poor workers who won’t be able to supply billionaires with yachts? What about their kids huh!?!
No child should go hungry or miss out on an education. We have the resources to treat people better.
Would you think of the CEOs’ yachts?
Won’t someone please think of the CEOs’ yachts!?
