[PJMedia] California Votes To End Mandatory Reporting On Students Who Threaten Schools

Two days after the Uvalde massacre at Robb Elementary School, the California state senate voted to end mandatory reporting of students who threaten to do what the Uvalde killer did.

Before the California law was passed, existing law stated that whenever a school official is "attacked, assaulted, or physically threatened by any pupil," staff was "required to promptly report the incident to specified law enforcement authorities." The new bill repealed this requirement.

A heads-up to police to maybe start keeping an eye on the social media postings of would-be killers strikes me as a no-brainer.

The language in the bill was endorsed by the ACLU. The organization said that "Once students make contact with law enforcement, they are less likely to graduate high school and more likely to wind up in jail or prison."
Master of the Obvious here.
The ACLU conveniently forgets that the reason kids usually "make contact" with law enforcement — how’s that for a euphemism? — is because they were doing something illegal.

We’ve come to expect this kind of thing from the ACLU. Sadly, we’ve come to expect it from Sacramento as well.

There’s so much self-inflicted wrong going on in the once-Golden State.

California’s water infrastructure was built in the 20th Century for a population half its current size. Instead of getting serious about new construction, the drought-prone state is tearing down existing infrastructure.

California has some of the nation’s most expensive gasoline — by choice — but is closing the nuclear plants needed to power electric vehicles.

#2  Between this, and Biden "not interested" in helping to harden schools, it's clear that Democrats want to create the environments that produce murdered children. They see it as their best vehicle to overturning the 2nd Amendment.

#1  People used to homeschool to keep their kids free of corruption and to promote higher academic performance. In California it may just be a way to keep them alive.
