Prosecutors Refuse to Drop Charges Against Texas 11-Year-Old Put in Solitary Confinement - Lemmy.World

Timothy Murray lost his father earlier this year and had been asking his principal for counseling when she called in the police

What kind of incompetent principal reacts to trouble making elementary schoolers by calling the cops on them?
This ain't incompetence, this is a power trip. She also called CPS on a mother for questioning her special education needs program

“So, when my daughters were young, all three of them, I would take them with me to school,” she said. “One of them would answer the phone, the other one would help me deliver textbooks, and the other one would help me do something else. So, they grew up there. … They’re just fantastic.”

Is this kinda… weird? I remember liking to help my dad out once in a while with simple tasks since I had to stay with him at work, but I don’t know how I’d feel about doing it every day.

I don’t know if I would say “weird”. I think it is unusual. Shouldn’t they have been going to class? Why was the principal in charge of delivering textbooks? How often do textbooks need to be delivered anyway?
