jokemaster Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 NEW YORK - The New York Civil Liberties Union today condemned the treatment of a 13-year-old girl who was arrested after she wrote the word "okay" on her school desk. The NYCLU said the incident sheds light on the fatal flaws in New York City's use of law enforcement to impose discipline in classrooms.

IGoddessI Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Wtf... I learnt something by scrubbing the desk.. Only write in blue pen because red wouldn't come off properly. The only people who tell you that you can't do something are those who have already given up on their own dreams so feel the need to discourage yours.

Rainy_Day Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Arrested for that? That's just silly. In my old school someone would just be made to clear it up if they drew anything on their table. :| ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)RIP Michaelangelopolous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llcoolguy972 Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Silva told reporters, "[H]ere we have rapists, murderers, and you're taking a 13-year-old kid? Wasting valuable manpower to arrest a child who wrote on a desk?" Hit the nail on the head. -.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Observer Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 This is just stupid. It is the school's responsibility to take disciplinary action against this act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonorhc Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Why are your schools delegating discipline to law enforcement agencies? Are they that incompetent?

ThoseTheBrokes Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 I had to sand down a desk after I drew on it. and I thought that was bad.. :| It's ridiculous. My dA account..retired, as of the 1st January 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nom Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Aw, but they mean well! [/sarcasm] For real, though, the mom nailed it. Maybe the NYPD was feeling incompetent and wanted to arrest somebody. And what kind of school system do they have that has to turn over it's discipline to the fuzz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megakiller32 Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 And i thought my schools discipline was stupid and exaggurated. I once flicked my friend on the head, and the teachers blew it way out of proportion and everything. The teachers were saying i punched him in the face, and they didnt let me eat my lunch.

champion Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Wow. That's...Geez. Man, if I was arrested like that, let alone in front of my peers... I think even getting detention for that would be too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icingdeath Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Our legal system sucks. I really wouldn't call it an era. It was more of a definitive time period during which dinstinctive characteristics were expressed in similar ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountdoom77 Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 WOW. That city is so crime-ridden it's not even funny and they're arresting a 13-year old for writing okay on her desk. Pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barihawk Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Guaranteed 100% that we are not hearing the whole story. It's bound to be a sensationalist article when the ACLU is involved.

I have to agree. We're talking about a school in New York City. There has to be so many other, worse, things going on in a school like that. If the police are called for something as small as writing on the desk, I doubt there would ever be a time when the police aren't there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meol Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Worse things have happened in other schools, teens taking and dealing with drugs, demonstrations against teachers, and they get you to jail for writing on a desk? :-X Maybe the people above are right, and they're just hiding the important part of the story.

Kenshinjapan Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Destruction of school property. She could have written gang signs all over her desk. People get jailed for writing graffiti on walls but shouldn't get in trouble for writing on a desk :-s ? She got what she deserved imo. YOU! ATTEND TET EVENTS! CLICK HERE!

arizark Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 She deserved it! all the times i have been doing my schoolwork to only be distracted by some other person who was distracted enough to draw on the table. lock her away and throw away the key i say! :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt, but IU'm finding it hard to imagine any kind of series of events to reuslt in an arrest. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you.

Sir_Alex85 Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Once I had some crystal lite in class, and I screwed up getting it into a bottle of water (for I am a clumsy man), and it got all over the desk. Instead of letting myself get arrested, I cleaned it up. I'm a NY hero. It really has Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
