In Texas, the School-to-Prison Pipeline is Still Going Strong
Students of color and children with special needs were disproportionately affected by law enforcement’s involvement in schools.
Of the 72 school districts that Texas Appleseed and Texans Care for Children examined, officers arrested students an astonishing 29,000 times and issued more than 41,000 tickets for complaints from 2011 to 2015.
Latino students were arrested and referred for juvenile probation 1.87 times more often than their white classmates; for black students, the rate was 2.86 times higher.

And then there is TX imposing a ceiling of 8.5% as the max for students with special schooling.
If you'r poor, you're screwed.
If you're not poor, you can pay for help outside of school
"Christian" TX is one fucking nasty state.
