Absolutely ridiculous! It is not the child's fault that her parents dropped her off late. And their reason for doing so? They are adjusting to having a new baby at home! That's a great excuse if I've ever heard one. I bet that little girl could have used some extra time with mom and dad in the morning... more than she really needed those first 15-20 minutes of kindergarten.

If this would have been a truancy issue, the parents should be held responsible. From what I can tell from the article, she was late. Twice. I'd be so ticked.
