    An offense, sure. But it’s not a “crime” in the US.

      Not for the student. But at least in some states, parents can potentially face jail time if their children miss enough school.

        Kamala Harris bragged about enforcing this law against parents in California. That’s the only way that I know that it’s an actual law that gets enforced because I had never heard of laws like this before, and I grew up in US public schools in the South.
