"First they came for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one
left to speak up for me."

Mississippi Town Sued Over 'School-to-Prison Pipeline'
Submitted by Persona non grata on Mon, 2012-11-05 00:00
The lawsuit says children who talk back to teachers, violate dress codes and commit other minor infractions are handcuffed and sent to a youth court where they are denied their rights. Children are handcuffed and arrested in school and incarcerated for days at a time without a probable cause hearing. Children detained wait more than 48 hours for a hearing, in violation of constitution requirements. Children make admissions to formal charges without being advised of their Miranda rights. Children are not routinely granted legal representation during the juvenile justice process.
