How much would you have had to pay?
 

more stupid crap that makes me angry reading. But if they had this when I was in school, my fines would have reached the millions for sure.


After being ticketed for using bad language in a classroom and failing to appear for a court date, a Dallas teenager must now pay a $637 fine.

Last October, when North Mesquite High School teacher Michelle Lene heard student Victoria Mullins say “you trying to start [expletive],” Mullins was sent to the principal’s office and given lunch detention, NBC DFW reports.

The following day the student was ticketed, with the complaint that Lene was offended by Mullins’ remark and it was a breach of peace.

According to the Dallas Morning News, the original fine for disorderly conduct and abusive language was $340.

FCUK that.

it seems that Texas has more of these ****ed up laws

Texas is one ****ed up red neck republican stronghold. They don't cotton to no strangers or strong language ya'all

If a story like that makes you angry, you need to learn to chill. There are way more screwed up things going on to get pissed about.

Like earned income credit for example.

It sounds like something that would come out of CA, more than TX. Either way, it's messed up.

So people getting a couple thousand dollar tax break for working instead of taking food stamps / welfare is something to get outraged about? OK got it...

I would bet that the ACLU will probably be all over this. But maybe not.
