Why Was This 11-Year-Old Brownsville ISD Honor Student Put in Solitary For Three Days?
Because it's Texas. The answer is always because it's Texas.. Well, okay. Sometimes it's Florida too.
Texas is filled with bullies and pussies, both overlap
Sounds like a little overachiever who is pretty mature for his age, up against a Karen principal who is annoyed by the kid instead of encouraging him.
“Gee, I wonder why kids these days don’t trust law enforcement!”
This is horrifying. I know abuse of power is nothing new, especially in education and law enforcement, but people find new lows every day it seems. I’m glad others were there to step up and help.
It sounds like the individual responsible, Palm Grove Elementary School Principal Myrta Garza could still be a threat to additional students though. I know it’s Texas but there has to be some group there that can investigate this individual.
I'm sorry but that Principal is an absolute cunt. She was targeting that kid, regardless if he did or didn't do anything wrong...
Every monster who participated in putting an 11 year old in police solitary confinement should not keep their job and should face lawsuits.
Cameron County prosecutors pushed for Class C felony charges of “terroristic threat” and argued for two more weeks of detention.
Every authoritarian here is a power-tripping coward. Abusing a prepubescent child because they didn't get the respect they demanded is the weakest and most craven thing someone can do.
Put this principal behind bars for child abuse. And take the police and everyone involved on that side along, too. They would make a nice chain gang.
Uh. I could have sworn Delores Umbridge was supposed to be short…
11 years old. Lost his father, bullied by his principal, abandoned by the school district therapists, falsely arrested by the police and tortured for three days by the state.
If this kid manages to grow up to be a functional adult, it will be miracle.
There was no evidence he made any kind of threat against the principal other than heresay by other students?
What the hell.
That principal is an insecure power tripping loser.
So why is that bitch of a principal not dead or in jail yet?
