SuperBowl Sunday - Texas Martial Laws
There is a festive feeling in the air this Superbowl weekend. Fans are checking out the weather forecasts for their trip to Dallas, Texas. They will bring snacks and buy beer and add to the “great economy of the great state of Texas.” or so the politicians hope.

They will probably be right. After all, there are a LOT of Steelers and Packer fans that will willingly spend thousands of dollars booking rooms and buying NFL items and probably put a million into the cash register, or more.
Why not? The Super bowl is probably going to be a great game. The Cowboy’s Stadium is brand new, or near enough.
However, perhaps the people who go to the super bowl are not realizing just whom they are supporting.
I refer, amongst others, the ‘Great State of Texas’ s Educational program.
A program which , along with other measures, allows each individual school hire it’s own security and deem that they have the same powers as policemen. This security is obtained from private security companies.
Now, I have worked for private security companies before. Two of them, both in Texas, although not at the Cowboy stadium, nor in Dallas. I do know from conversations with other ‘security officers’ that the conditions at many of the other security companies was similar to the ones I worked for though.
Not to put to fine a point on it, but I certainly would not hire either company to safe guard my children. I would not hire them to safe guard a flat tire. I would not trust either one across the street. Nor any of the ones I heard of.
This would be here nor there, but we seem to have a government in Texas that believe the school security officers have a right to arrest, yes, arrest, our children, haul them to criminal court, fine them up to $500, and book them with a class C misdemeanor that will stay on their permanent records for their whole lives.
The great government of Texas, in it’s infinite wisdom, passed a bill called “ Chapter 37 and added it to the Statutes of Education that says a student can be arrested for ‘bad behavior’ and given a ticket and put into the criminal justice system. What in the world would be so bad as to give a ten year old or younger child a record for life?
How about--say, to much perfume?
This is what one thirteen year old got a hundred and fifty dollar fine for, also a trip to criminal court and charged with a class C mist miner.

What in the world are we doing to our children? Why are they in a concentration camp where cursing can get them a ticket, 3 class C misdemeanors for bad behavior leads to a habitual offender charge which can be either a first degree misdemeanor or a felony. This can very well lead to a denial for a job, college, and so on.
Why have we allowed this to happen?
There is presently a movement on in Austin, texas to change this barbaric and ill conceived law. This movement would raise the age of possible tickets and criminal charges to 14.
I am sorry. I do not believe in sending our children to jail for being children. For swearing, for throwing
