Rapper arrested for sending son to school in Lyft ride

Sending your kid to school in a taxi would once have been regarded as a safe option.  Being arrested for it seems excessive

A New Orleans rapper known for a raunchy, sexually charged viral hit was arrested after sending her 5-year-old son to school alone in a ride-sharing service, authorities said.

Reiona Oliver, 27, was arrested Tuesday on child desertion charges in Louisiana after putting her son in a car that picked him up in Chalmette. She then told the driver to take the boy to school in New Orleans, roughly 8 miles away, according to the St. Bernard Parish Sheriff’s Office.

Oliver, who is better known as “GameOva Reedy,” told the driver she wouldn’t be accompanying her son on the ride and then went back inside the Chalmette residence and did not return, the driver told deputies.

But instead of dropping the boy off at school, the driver took the 5-year-old to a sheriff’s substation in Arabi, telling deputies that he just told a woman who had summoned a ride that he could not transport a minor not accompanied by an adult.

Oliver was later taken into custody at the St. Bernard Parish Prison. She was also wanted on two outstanding traffic warrants in Jefferson Parish, deputies said.

WWL reports that a since-deleted video on Oliver’s Instagram account — which has 247,000 followers — appeared to show her explaining that she put her child in a Lyft vehicle because she wasn’t feeling well and thought it wouldn’t be an issue, saying she was told it was OK.

98,000 illegal immigrants graduating from US high schools

Nearly 100,000 illegal immigrants graduate from U.S. high schools annually, thousands more than long assumed, according to a new analysis.

The Migration Policy Institute, in a new report, estimated that at least 98,000 illegal immigrant students graduate every year, up from the earlier estimate of 65,000.

“Forty-four percent of these graduates reside in just two states: California and Texas, which account for about 27,000 and 17,000 of the 98,000 graduating every year,” said the analysis.

The report dubbed the students “Dreamers,” attributing the numbers in part to former President Obama’s decision to protect younger illegal immigrants from deportation and provide potential amnesty.

The study also estimated that there are 680,000 young aliens in the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival program in the U.S.

The report expressed concern that President Trump’s effort to close out the DACA program leaves the nearly 100,000 illegal immigrants that graduate every year in limbo.

“While high school graduation represents an important milestone in the lives of many young people, these graduates will face severely limited opportunities to pursue further work and education, and will be at risk of deportation,” said Jeanne Batalova, a senior policy analyst at the institute.

Australian teachers claim constant bullying and harassment from parents is forcing them to abandon their profession in droves

Parents objecting to Leftist bias and indoctrination, most likely.  Leftists can dish out the aggression but they can't take it

The number of teachers quitting their jobs is rapidly rising across Australia amid claims angry parents are to blame. 

Teachers say they are being met with bullying, harassment and violence from parents more than ever, and even face the prospect of losing their role if they speak up.

But parents claim they're just being vocal about their concerns. 

A study from Melbourne's La Trobe University found 80 per cent of teachers were subject to student or parent-led bullying in the past year.

A separate report conducted by the Australian Catholic University found that 45 per cent of school principals across the country were threatened with violence in 2018.

In an emotional interview with Channel Nine's 60 Minutes, former teacher George Allertz says that although he was passionate about his job, the constant physical, verbal and electronic abuse he copped pushed him out of the profession.

'You're going home after being abused from a parent because they didn't agree with something that you taught or the way that you taught it,' Mr Allertz says. 'You basically become deflated… I can't do that anymore.'

Mr Allertz says he has witnessed school events during which parents become violent.

The former teacher says parents have opted to fight not only teachers but other parents on school grounds.

He also said he's seen parents use horrific language and come to physical blows before having to be escorted off the grounds.

However, parents have insisted they're just speaking up about their concerns over their children's treatment or the education system.

Kevin Saunders was disciplined for criticising the way his son was being taught at school, causing the angered father to pull him out altogether. Mr Saunders was bewildered that he was disciplined and questioned why he didn't have the right to speak up for his son. 'I spoke the truth and suddenly I'm getting escorted out of there,' he said.
