It’s a Crying Shame
You would think with major issues facing the city like crime and serious financial issues, some people still find time for foolishness.
No, I’m not talking about the City-County Council and the Ethics panel which Councilor Paul Bateman stepped down and Bill Oliver never showed concerning the not so bright actions of Monroe Gray.
I’m actually talking about the ACLU of Indiana threatening to sue the Lawrence Township Trustee for threatening to suspend poor relief for families whose children missed John Marshall Community School this week.
From what I’ve been able to gather, the ACLU told Mike Hobbs that the poor are “entitled” to relief because being poor is a protected class. Whatever. If being poor was a protected class, my brother-in-law would have eight bodyguards around him everyday.
And just for the record, after annoucing the plan to withhold poor relief, more than 70 children who had been previously absent magically showed up and more calls have been coming in from other parents promising to get their kids to school.
