My wife had to deal with parents who refuse to believe their children are anything by angels.

Show me a bad kid, and 90% of the time I can show you a bad parent.

"U.S. Department of Education said the agency handled nearly 1,000 discrimination complaints last year"

How many white individuals claimed "discrimination"????

When laws are put in place to identify protected classes, this will ALWAYS be the result (discrimination lawsuits).

Of the Lawyers, By the lawyers, FOR the lawyers is what the U.S. "Justice" system has become....

They dont tell you that the DA offered probation just like he did the white kid. The mother turned it down because she would have to be in custody of someone other than herself.

The mother has a record of causing problems at the school, the daughter has a history of problems at the school, and the judge had no choice in the sentencing after the mother rejected the deal. She then started stirring up the blacks in the city against the DA.

'About 41 percent of students are black in Paris, a city of about 26,000 just south of the Oklahoma border. Fewer than 10 percent of the district's teachers are black, according to the most recent audit by the Texas Education Agency.'

Does this mean they should hire more black teachers because so many of the students are black? Could it not mean that not enough blacks are getting/have the education to be teachers? And what does it have to do with what happened with this student?

It sounds liike she thought she should be able to get in the school, regardless of when the bell rings. Some black students think anytime they are corrected for poor behavior that it is because they are black, not because they are not behaving as they should.

A principal has to document everything the student has done wrong. What she has done has to be bad enough to merit expulsion by state standards. It's just not that easy.

So the poor little black girls mother doesn't get her way so she just resorts to playing the worn out race card to get her way instead. Uh-huh! Worked for O.J. didn't it!

First it was Police and the Judiciary then medical personell it has now been expanded to public servants..

The list of special classes of people grows and like the little snot with a hall monitor badge they taunt the lessor beings making stuff up ever more boldly.

Disgusting

One law for all the people or no law at all.

Prior to the 70's, she wouldn't have been allowed to even attend that school. Then she could have cried about "racism".

In jail until she's 21 possibly? For shoving someone who wasn't injured? That's ridiculous. Expulsion used to be the punishment for something like this, not hard time.

No matter what the situation expulsion is all she should have gotten. Jail time for this is crap and the law should be changed. If she is a bad seed she will have plenty of jail time for real crimes in her future. This is not a crime.

What is this girl, a border patrol agent or something?

No matter what the situation? I think it's safe to assume there is an extensive prior criminal record here. The punishment doesn't read like a first offense.

When it comes to the media or law enforcement, I think nothing is safe to assume.
