School administrators are, for some wild reason, given strange power over law enforcement (the School Resource Officers) either on purpose or just in practice.<p>I’ve been arrested and taken to a detention center for simply refusing an order to detention without being given my write-up on the basis that being punished without being told about the infraction is wrong. In all, I was arrested and given a generic “Disturbing the Peace” style charge as a minor but, charged as an adult, because three weeks prior I had worn a jacket that was not on the list of school approved colors while in a poorly heated out-building. All because petit tyrants refused to honor the basic human right of telling the punished their crime.<p>These government schools and their seemingly unimpeachable administrators need reigned in as surely as the police and prosecutors. Whether they choose prosecution to cover for their weak egos or out of simple laziness, it’s unacceptable that they punt on problems and then invoke “Zero Tolerance” the second they’re expected to solve minor problems.
