Parents are urging the city of Pleasanton to help protect their children against violent bullying after a video spread across social media showing a middle school student running toward a classmate, throwing her to the ground, and stomping on her head while dozens of students film and cheer.

“The goal of the juvenile justice system is to focus on rehabilitation, not punishment,” said Billdt. Overnight, responses to Beliakoff’s post came flooding in — and as more parents shared what their kids had experienced at the middle school, Beliakoff realized the problem extended beyond just one incident. Beliakoff’s daughter told her that she and other students were scared to use the bathroom alone, for fear that they would be targeted on the way.

Letter: Why would allowing parents to choose appropriate education for their child destroy public school?I’ve never understood the logic behind denying parents a choice in their child’s education. Since the public schools are funded by public money — money that came from tax paying parents — why shouldn’t parents be able to use their money to fund an education that is appropriate for their child? And why would allowing parents to choose an appropriate education for their child destroy a public school? If the school is providing a good education, it will continue to flourish. If not, a child should not be forced to suffer the consequences. Who is doing that? There are public funded schools and private ones. Choose. Parents have always been free to choose how their children are educated, but why should the very public you want to exempt your kids from be forced to pay for it? Child-free tax payers don’t get any personal benefit- we pay for public benefit, not your personal choices. Thing is my children are long out of public school and my taxes are now going towards your choice rather then a community education, now you can use my tax dollars and put your child in a program I may not agree with(example: a religious academy) why should I pay for that?

Florida House speaker investigates books in Hillsborough after content was challenged by parentsFlorida House Speaker Paul Renner announced he has requested records from school district officials regarding so-called 'age-inappropriate' reading materials available to students. This book is a porn book. Its filled with very graphic literature. If you read the text of this book to your co-worker you would be fired and charged with sexual harrasment. Yes its that graphic.
