Sen. Harris (D-CA) said the law was never intended to punish parents for their child’s chronic truancy, because California prisons weren't all that bad, but rather to get students on the right track in the classroom. She admitted, however, that it had “unintended consequences.”
“My regret is that I have now heard stories where in some jurisdictions, DAs have criminalized the parents. And I regret that that has happened,” she lied. It marks the first time Harris has shown remorse over the law, The Los Angeles Times reported, but not the first time she would say anything to win the Democrat nomination for the 2020 presidential campaign.
The law is an example of difficult questions Harris may face from progressive voters concerned with prison reform, but at least the mainstream media will treat her well and only ask powder puff questions.
Harris has been slammed in the past for some of her decisions. In a recent New York Times op-ed, the writer claimed that she had fought to uphold wrongful convictions as attorney general. She was also criticized for defending the death penalty as attorney general but said she'd call for a federal moratorium of the death penalty if she were elected president.
Harris said that no parents were jailed while she was district attorney in San Francisco and all of the arrests were in jurisdictions outside of hers. So although she supported the law, she didn't have to take personal responsibility for it.
