How To Abandon Your Baby 101
In some grades in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, only 53 percent of students passed their writing tests. History instruction is largely optional -- the kids are supposed to get 45 minutes of history instruction a week, but many teachers treat that as a maximum. Not all kids are taught science.
But state legislators are pushing these other subjects aside for a more important topic: how to legally abandon your baby. A bill that passed the North Carolina State House requires instruction for all ninth through 12th graders on "the manner in which a parent my lawfully abandon a newborn baby." The bill was co-sponsored by Rep. Becky Carney, D-Mecklenburg.
A state law passed in 2001 allows a mother to abandon her baby at any fire station or medical facility within three days of birth.
Tara, I had heard about this one from Lindalyn Kakadelis, who was there when this one came of committee. Next up - let's vaccinate my daughters against my will in NC. And people wonder why others are despairing of public education when it becomes the gateway to some of the most intrusive government grabs at personal liberty while maintaining as little public accountability as it can.
