Girl Arrested For Doodle

What.  The.  Heck?

A New York City junior high student has been arrested for doodling on her desk with a marker.

Twelve-year-old Alexa Gonzalez scribbled “Lex was here 2/1/10” on her desk Monday at Junior High School 190 in Queens. She also wrote “I love my friends Abby and Faith.” The girl says the doodles could have been erased.

Moraima Tamacho says her daughter was released several hours after she was taken in handcuffs to a police station.

Education department spokesman David Cantor said the incident shouldn’t have happened, and that common sense should prevail.

1. Well, this happens more than you think.  In our school district, the school district police will ust yo for every little thing..  Skip a class, get a citation.  Get in a fight, go to jail.  Run away from home, go out in hand cuffs.
   thingsa certainly have changed.

2. This should be nothing more than a trip to the principal,

   How bad is the system that we have come to cuffing her.

3. Common Sense does not prevail in public school.
