Police in Sacramento served the 14-day suspension to Katherine Duran in her home following a disagreement with the school over the soon-to-be enacted Common Core standards.

Duran’s son, Christopher, was not pleased when he learned of his mom’s suspension, telling the local KXTV, “I was outraged.”

Some boards of ed. ignore parent questions and then give partial or misleading answers if forced to respond. I know one school system that would suspend parents in a second if it had the power. Power is very big with those folks.
