Modern public school systems have close ties to law enforcement. What used to be children acting like... children, is now rigorously tried in the justice system by DAs who will do anything to "win."
The public school to prison pipeline is real. None of my children have or will go to public school. It's worthless at its best. It's life ruining at its worst. This is only one example of public schools flaunting how petty and stupid they are.
