If you thought Texas could not embarass itself more
You have no faith in the power of the Texas redneck to mine his inner stupidity.
Diane Tran, a 17-year-old Willis High School junior, was sentenced to spent 24 hours in jail and pay $100 in fines for excessive truancy, according to CBS Atlanta [5].Ms Tran probably farts more smart than that JP ever had. But this is Texas, dumb enough to embarrass God his own self!
She had broken a Texan law that makes it a crime to miss more than 10 days of school in a six month period, reported Local TV network KHOU-11 [6].
Judge Lanny Moriarty said that at an appearance by Tran in his Justice of the Peace court last month he warned her to stop missing school.
When she recently missed classes again, he issued a summons and had her arrested in open court when she appeared...
However, Diane is not the stereotypical truant one would expect in such a case.
She helps support two siblings with both a full time and part-time job. Her parents were divorced and she lived with the family that owns the wedding venue where she works on weekends.
"She goes from job to job from school," Devin Hill, one of Tran's classmates, told KHOU-11. "She stays up until 7:00 in the morning doing her homework."
According to KHOU-11, Tran admitted that she was often too tired to go to school.
She said she took AP Spanish, college level algebra and dual credit English and history courses.
A petition at change.org [9] and a helpdianetran.com website has appeared after news of the year 11 student's plight spread online.
