    Every monster who participated in putting an 11 year old in police solitary confinement should not keep their job and should face lawsuits.

    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.

      This is a serious over-generalization. Brownsville and the RGV vote reliably Democratic, and abuse of authority situations, involving school districts, criminal justice systems, and the police, et al, absolutely happen all over the country.

        Was in the RGV right before Trump was elected - and again during the Beto-Cruz fight - the amount of support for conservatives there is MIND BOGGLING. I kept asking ‘how the fuck are so many latinos in the can for Cruz and Trump?’ I do not understand, especially around Harlingen and the other ‘towns’ down there.

    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.
