For anyone curious, here's NPR doing their best to run cover for "The Story Behind Kamala Harris' Truancy Program"

Passed in 2011, the law allowed district attorneys to charge parents with a misdemeanor if their children missed 10 percent of the school year without a valid reason.

Proud high school truant checking in to say that this is not the way schools should work. There are many valid paths to an education. Schools are often impediments to education.
