Question - If this is law in Texas, why am I not hearing about kids being sent to detention all over the state? And - since when did any state's laws require the sending of children to detention as a state mandated penalty?
Nother question - Is this school's principal a compete idiot? And since when do Texans put up with this sort of idiocy?

So happy to see our government at work...when these are the same people who consider ketchup a vegetable serving.
