Police Called in to Calm Angry Parents at a School Meeting
As I posted before a school in Texas (Texas? Why does this not surprise me?) has instituted a punishment, if you will, against kids to wear a bonafied prison jumpsuit if they do not follow the dress code which requires the students to wear a collared shirt and has banned cargo pants. There are some parents who, understandably aren’t too happy with the form of reprimand the school chose and became unruly during a scheduled meeting in which school officials decided to call in the police to calm things down.
GONZALES, Texas — Police were called to a school board meeting because of the loud protests of parents upset about a revamped dress code that includes prison-like jumpsuits for kids who don’t comply.
Gonzales Independent School District superintendent Vic Salazar said that following the public comment period Monday night, a few members of the audience started yelling at school board members about the dress code. They were asked repeatedly to quiet down but would not, he said. Salazar didn’t know who called the police.
“When it gets to be disruptive, we asked them to leave,” Salazar said Tuesday. “They wouldn’t be quiet. They were given an opportunity” to speak.
Capt. Gayle Autry of the Gonzales Police Department said two police officers arrived to keep order, stayed less than an hour and didn’t arrest anyone.
