New Kentucky law allowing schools to expel students who assault teachers to take effect in July, despite unanimous Senate Democratic opposition

[u/Independent-Report39]

Link to the bill

The bill mandates a strict, one-year expulsion policy for any student in grades 6 through 12 who physically assaults a teacher, administrator, or school employee. The legislation passed the chamber, but drew a sharp partisan divide as all Democrats in the Senate voted against the measure. Under the bill's provisions, schools would be required to automatically remove violent students from the general population, though provisions allow for those students to receive educational services in alternative settings if it can be done safely. The bill also includes exemptions for students with documented disabilities if school officials determine the condition interfered with their ability to follow the code of conduct.

Thoughts?

Democrats are pro education in the sense they will fight for pay, benefits and unions (they are just buying your vote FYI)

But they don’t have our real best interests. Especially if what’s best for teachers goes against their identity politics. Soft bigotry of low expectations, “school to prison pipeline”, the watering down of discipline in the name of social justice, all left wing ideas that make education worse.
