Watch as Kamala Harris Laughs About Threatening Parents With Jail for Truancy

We just found a flashback video that’s going to make Kamala Harris and her supporters, very unhappy.

Basically, this video shows her laughing about threatening parents in San Francisco with jail for their children’s missed school days.

This will not sit well with her progressive base of potential 2020 voters.

Partial transcript:

I would not be standing here were it not for the education I received. And I know many of us would say the same thing.

And I believe a child growing without an education is tantamount to a crime.

So I decided i was going to start prosecuting parents for truancy.

Well, this was a little controversial in San Francisco.

(laughter) Frankly, my staff went bananas.

They were very concerned because we did not know at the time whether I was going to have an opponent in my re-election race.

But I said, look, I’m done. This is a serious issue and I’ve got a little political capital and I’m going to spend some of it. And this is what we did.

We recognized that in that initiative, as a prosecutor and law enforcement, I have a huge stick. The school district has got a carrot. Let’s work in tandem around our collective objective and goal, which is to get those kids in school.

So, to that end, on my letterhead — now, let me tell you something about my letterhead.

When you’re the DA of a major city in this country, usually the job comes with a badge. And there is often an artistic rendering of said badge on your stationery.

So, I sent a letter out on my letterhead to every parent in the school district, outlining the connection that was statistically proven between elementary school truancy, high school dropouts, who will become a victim of crime, and who will become a perpetrator or crime.

We sent it out to everyone. a friend of mine actually called me and he said, Kamala, my wife got the letter.

She freaked out.

She brought all the kids into the living room, held up the letter, said if you don’t go to school, Kamala is going to put you and me in jail.

(laughter)

Yes, we achieved the intended effect.”

The mainstream media won’t report on this so keep it going around!
