I’ve tried to understand what the charges are, as far as I could tell it seems it’s somehow related to an anti terrorist law and caused by the kid pulling someone’s hair and gesturing to cut paper with scissors, which was interpreted as gesturing to cut a finger.
The article seems to try very hard to obfuscate the actual reason (I’m guessing for legal reasons?)
In any case, this seems insane, seems like excessive overreaction from everyone involved.
its because there is no actual reason for it. they are still trying to document one
texas, you fuckin cowards.
Unless the kid brained someone with a tee ball trophy, I categorize this penalty in the “extreme” category.
I thought the same thing. Here’s the archived Texas Observer article on it, which is what this article’s source seems to be.
Apparently the principal heard from another student that this kid was “making threats” against her. Sounds pretty thin to me.
The whole thing is weird.
