Nick Reed 08.01.24 - Kamala’s Truancy Law Hurt Single Black Women in CA

Hour 3 - 

Good Thursday morning! Here's what Nick Reed covers this hour:

• Former president of PayPal David Marcus announced he has switched political parties and endorsed Donald Trump.
• Nick interviews our ABC Books author of the week, Auron Macintyre.
• Kamala's truancy law put a black single mom of a special needs child in handcuffs. Cheree Peoples was not some deadbeat parent allowing her children to play hooky. Her daughter Shayla has sickle cell anemia, a rare genetic condition that afflicts its sufferers with chronic pain. After Shayla, then 11 years old, missed 20 days of school in 2013, police officers arrested Cheree for violating the truancy law, a misdemeanor that carried a $2,500 fine and up to one year in jail. Peoples, who had an infant son when she was arrested, battled with the court system for two and a half years to clear her arrest, which she was worried would hurt her future job prospects.
