I think I will be writing about the new curfew that has been imposed on Dallas students. There will be a curfew imposed that ranges the time frame from 9:00 am to 2:30 pm in order to hopefully cut down on the number of students who "skip" or "cut" classes. Those included in this curfew are juveniles, anyone under 17 years of age. If juveniles are seen by a police officer during these hours, on the street, Monday-Friday, they could get a warning, a fine up to $500.00 or even a ride in a police cruiser down to a station where there parents would have to come pick them up.
This is very controversial in Dallas seeing as there is a scheduled protest for later this week that both parents and students will attend to try and over turn the decision of Dallas City Hall. It is believed that the opinion of the public is split 50/50 when trying to determine whether or not this is a good law to impose.
