One more reason to love Texas

Can't Texas secede already? It's giving the US a bad name abroad:

The US schools with their own police | World news | The Guardian

"Students are also regularly fined for "disorderly behaviour", which includes playground scraps not serious enough to warrant an assault charge or for swearing or an offensive gesture. One teenage student was arrested and sent to court in Houston after he and his girlfriend poured milk on each other after they broke up."

"Schoolchildren with outstanding fines are regularly jailed in an adult prison for non-payment once they turn 17."

They tried it.

Didn't take.

Maybe the rest of the nation should secede from Texas. I feel certain most of Texas would tell us not to let the door hit us on the way out.

The same reason why a lot of the rest of the world hates America , is the same reason why a lot of the rest of the country hates Texas.

Great stand up comic, Dennis Wolfberg had a routine about being a teacher in the South Bronx . . .

The South Bronx . . . You know the South Bronx. A community that socioeconomically ranks under Calcuta. People from India would say, South Bronx! What a hellhole! They gave me the "slow" class six years in a row. Slow . . I considered them stationary." The school newspaper had an obituary column. I would assign compositions on What I want to be if I grow up."

Where are all the PC mob??
You all know who I am talking about !!

If you made these comparisons with your current president they would be all over this post like a rash !!!

It would appear that such comparisons are ok & not racist if we are talking about a white Caucasian.

Typical double standards from that lot !!

Is there a site with similar comparisons to your current president, or is that way too double standard for here?

Oh well I found some !!!

that's pretty silly,everthing has to be racist motivated- according to how most view typical Texans.
furthermore Our "great black father" has done an admirable job of changing a lot of the rest of the worlds hate for the occupant of the white house and America.

I'm happy to let Texas secede if they'll take Jersey with them.


Seriously, though, I have a feeling that Texas would handle the border crossing and crime issues a bit differently if they were unfettered by the umbrella of US laws and constitution.

It's really too bad Texas can't secede, in spite of what lots of people mistakenly believe. I'd happily wave them goodbye.

Texas is a police state. In addition to the school district police, there's the Dental Police, the Lottery Police, I think there's an Optometry Police Dept.
