what the fuck is going on over there
High-speed school-to-prison pipeline. Because inmates=free labour and prisons are for-profit. Gotta get 'em kidz institutionalized as early as possible!
It’s the conservative way. They hold these traditions sacred.
Yep. Also noticed that the principal that called the police and the DA refusing to drop the case have the same last name. Garza isn’t that rare of a last name, but it’s not exactly “Smith”, either. I’d bet good money those fuckers are related to each other.
Wait, that’s just slavery with extra steps!
Not “extra steps” but "plausible deniability"😉
Why ban slavery when we can evolve it?!?
Brownsville is 94% Hispanic or Latino. This is Texas doing Texas shit.
Murica! Murica! Murica!
So much for that “stay in school” speech…
What % of those kids were assholes?
If being an asshole was illegal Texas would be a prison.
They’re working on it…
Texas. The new Australia.
asshole doesn’t mean criminal
I’m just saying… you never had a kid in class that was years older then everyone else, not doing shit, disrupting class all the time, getting violent and ending up in jail for attempt murder just after leaving school? I had. I wish there was a way to get him out of school earlier. I would be a better environment for everyone. But there wasn’t so they had to deal with him till he was 18 yo. Then on the other hand if you let teachers kick kids out they will get lazy and start locking up children for anything like in Texas.
Are you for real? I’m seriously asking, because if you are, you need help.
Not in elementary school
Weird, in my case it was only in elementary school. High school was not mandatory so the disruptive kids simply didn’t go there.
Edit: Oh, just realized that you probably also have middle school. I didn’t. It was the same school from age 7 to 15. Education was mandatory till 18 or 16 yo so the school was stuck with all the stupid kids till then.
Ahhhh right, simple mistake to make. Middle school kids definitely deserve solitary confinement. Fucking what??
I hope that maybe you’re just ignorant to what “solitary confinement” means, but even then, you’re talking about locking children away in fucking prison for misbehaving in 6th grade art class. Get a grip.
Jesus, who’s talking about solitary confinement? Not even the original comment mentioned it. I definitely didn’t. Relax. It’s a shitty situation but getting angry about things you imagined is not going to save anyone.
Scroll back up and check out the headline of the thread you’re posting in…
The original article is about putting a child into solitary confinement. You don’t even need to read the article. But keep moving those goalposts…
Is it really that much harder to just admit you were wrong (or literally just take the L and not respond at all) than doubling down on something so easily disproven?
The mindset is just fascinating to me.
Were you never an asshole as a kid? It’s part of growing up. We work to make them better, but arresting them does nothing worthwhile.
76 arrests of elementary students? Does it really matter? I have a hard time believing any arrest is appropriate for that age
Shouldn’t matter. You don’t throw kids in jail just because they are assholes.
You’re making up 110% of them
