Oh, THAT's what's wrong. You don't understand the context of all my replies! Check out Post 30, which is a reply to post 11, and it will frame everything for you.
I was attempting all along to rebut Alia's assertion that the girl had to be presumed innocent.
Thanks for sending me that link! I didn't have time to read it all yet, but I do know that if a student has been identified to have some kind of disability (including emotional impairment), then schools may not simply suspend them for behaviors related to that disability.
For example, a student whose violent tendencies are related to some mental or emotional disability may be placed in a more restrictive (Of course, this restriction doesn't apply to the police, who can arrest, try, and punish students for criminal behavior.)
Apparently zero-tolerance abuse is very prevalent in Texas. Katy ISD also has a serious problem also.
The thing that surprises me is these parents permitted their kids to be railroaded into this program when they could have just as easily homeschooled their kids. Even if the kid did absolutely nothing at home and just sat in front of a computerized school program while the parents went to work, it still would be better than this abuse.
Another thing that surprises me is that nobody sues in federal court over this, nobody contacts the civil rights division of the DOE. I know that it's next to impossible to sue in state court in Texas.
I think public schools such as the one in this article contribute to students' mental illness. They should be avoided.
Given this story, there is no context in which your statements would be accurate.
I yield to your greater knowledge and mastery of the law. Nonetheless, I will stand by the proposition that Alia's mention of presumption of innocence made in post 11 does not apply in this case.
You appear to agree, as indicated in Post 520 where you write "There is no presumption of innocence in a due process case." I concur. You da man. Congratulations.
Thank you.
I think you are dead on correct.
Maybe that would have shut them up.
This is as bad as the kids who get expelled for drawing pictures of guns.
Our publick screwel administrators are overpaid and have too little to REALLY worry about.
That only applies to liberals.
I got 5-days for allegedly having a Skoal can in my back pocket. Mr. Martinéz, I have not forgotten you!
Maybe this girl should wait until she graduates and then slap the school district, idiotic principal, and everyone else for a defamation of character lawsuit.
Hey Hair, I agree with you and Lonely 100%.
Exactly right.
No need to resort to name calling in the middle of an adult discussion.
Has mommy lawyered up yet?
And kids are so much nicer, respectful and smarter than they used to be, huh?
Absolutely right. The old fashioned way of raising children is the right way to bring them up. If all parents would stop running to these troublemakers defense the world would be a better place.
... and then they are MSM'd "innocent" until proven "innocent" by lawyers and activist judges.
From your posts, I am not sure you are an adult... but you certainly seem think that the girl is guilty. I hope I never have to be on a jury with you...
BTW, what did the girl do wrong?
