Texas Might Be on to Something This Time…

I like it!  Give the little Texas school kid miscreants a ticket and make them pay when they’re troublemakers!  Brilliant!  The only thing that changes behavior in America is taking people’s money when they act up.

In Texas school districts, hundreds of tickets have been given to students, turning schoolyard shenanigans into Class C misdemeanors. Children as young as 6 years old have been ticketed, reported Dallas News.  Texas Appleseed, a nonprofit social justice advocacy group, Texas released a study on the ticketing titled “Texas’ School-to-Prison Pipeline.”  The report was authored by Deborah Fowler, legal director of Texas Appleseed. She said student misbehavior that would typically be handled by school management are now being referred to campus police.

Don’t cry for the troublemakers.  Send ’em to the police.  And if fines don’t work, toss the little tossers in prison.  Texas, you’re making yourself adorable…
