MODERATORS
Here's an extensive Texas Observer article for anyone interested.
What's going on here, is this a coincidence or is there some nepotism involved?
It's definitely possible, but Garza is also a really common Hispanic name. I could personally name a few Garza's off the top of my head who aren't related at all actually lol.
That being said, this all sounds sketchy as hell already, so who knows? Can't say it would surprise me at this point.
I wondered that also.
That's a great article. This part towards the end really stood out:
I was curious so I looked up how large the district is and they have almost 38,000 students. . Such a large district puts those numbers into perspective a little bit but that still seems unbelievable.
3000/38000 that’s almost 8%
Is it normal for 8% of a population to be arrested over a 2.5 year time period? Even in say China or Nazi Germany?
Definitely not in China… for better or worse their juvenile students usually never break criminal law
Unless you’re talking about the Uyghurs, which I have the impression that only adults are interned but I currently can’t trust any sources about the situation either
Yeah I was thinking Uyghurs and political dissidents, not like street crime.
Uyghurs are pretty much all in detention and reeducation and sterilization centers, kids included. China wants the next generation to suck Winnie's dick too
I searched it up. Uyghur children all have at least one parent detained but they are sent to highly guarded Mandarin schools and state orphanages, never sterilization, thankfully.
Eh 3100 arrests on 35.000 students, correct me if I'm wrong but that is nearly 10% of the students. What the actual fuck, why are students, kids, arrested for?
If a kid's beats another kid into a hospital, you might have a reason for an arrest, but are student crime levels that high? Is Texas a crime hell hole or something?
I have so many questions, bit something tells me that this is little more than assholes on power trips and everyone accepting it
Incarceration = profit. Thats all you have to know
