Texas Honors Student Jailed For Missing School

6. They could have just expelled her, instead of this. Her real crime was being homeless and poor.

If she didn't have to work, she'd be at school. She didn't enter the system as a foster child, which would have disrupted her life more. Sometimes they don't send a kid to school, but it's part of the system so it's overlooked.

And when I say homeless, she is not living with family members, not at home. Instead she showed initiative and worked and went to school at the same time. As the article said, she'd be there but too late for attendance. She wasn't running the streets have a good time.

Sounds like he didn't want to let her 'get away' which sounds pretty familiar. Putting the punishment for every truant who is out of control living with their parents and committing crimes while playing hooky.

Judge was grandstanding and taking advantage of the law to make an example. He needs to be censored and hounded out of office. As if this young lady didn't have enough to deal with she now gets this. And 'not a death sentence' he snarls. No, a slap in the face for someone he regards like 'the rest of 'em.'
