Free Thought Project – by John Vibes
Screven County, Georgia – Mother and substitute teacher Julie Giles was arrested this week because her son had too many unexcused absences from public school.
Writing on her Facebook page before turning herself in, Giles said “If anyone feels the need to go public with this feel free to do so….the facts are Sam originally had what they consider 12 unexcused absences, 6 are allowed per year, so he had 6 more than is acceptable, but the doctor reissued 3 excuses that Sam didn’t turn in, so basically I am being arrested for THREE days.”
She also noted that her child has all A’s and B’s in school.
WTOC’s Don Logana contacted Screven County Schools Superintendent William Bland, who told him that the school district is working within the law.
“It’s important for these children to be in school and I think the courts recognize that,” he said.
Logana also learned during his investigation that several other parents have been convicted for the same offense at this school this year alone.
Luckily, Giles was quickly released, but now she will still need to appear in court to defend herself.
“I am home. I was actually placed in ankle shackles!! I was told that doing so is procedure. I was respectful and followed directions. Sheriff Mike Kile allowed me to leave after being booked and photographed without having to call a bondsman. I will call tomorrow to get my court date. Thanks for the support!!” Giles wrote to WTOC when she returned home.
This is what public education looks like in a police state.

I’m glad I never had any kids, this kind of tyranny is utter bullshit!
Welcome to Commie Land, When will Americans stand up for themselves.This is getting way OTT.
I pray you wake up and see you are accepting your slavery nicely. .
“It’s important for these children to be in school and I think the courts recognize that,” he said.”
Important for the children? Hardly.
The only ones benefiting from their communist indoctrination is the STATE.
And yes, the commie ‘courts’ DO recognize that.
Ever notice it is mostly the moms (not the dads) who are blamed for truancy, neglect, etc.? Or is it mostly the moms who make the news? Or am I mistaken about this?
this is really F’d up
I’m happy my children are grown up and escaped the indoctrination not without some hard lessons. If I had children today, they would be home-schooled. It’s communism 101 starting freshman year if you send them to government school. Prior to that, your indoctrination is already well-entrenched through the Common Core curriculum in their attempt to quell any resistance to their tyranny. You would be a slave to your own ignorance and they would help you every step of the way.
