just saying that the punishment of losing a driver's license does not make a whole lot of sense in trying to keep these kids in school. How about trying to solve the problem that is causing them to miss school?
Someone mentioned that a strong truancy program reduces daytime crime. Great, they are doing good. Now let's take the "Compassionate" GOP solution to this and replace that program simply simply pulling the kids license... I have nothing to support it, but I'm thinking that the crime rates are going back up. On the other hand, it probably free up some money that could be siphoned off to contributors...
