Young Latina's arrest for doodling


Girl's arrest for doodling raises concerns about school's zero tolerance policy. Clearly, the school officials over reacted to this young girl's behavior.

Her crime was just the words, ["I love my friends Abby and Faith. Lex was here 2/1/10 :)"] written on the classroom desk with an erasable green marker.

For her doodling her love for her friends, Lex was handcuffed, arrested and transported to the police precinct.

The way to stop this is to act now.

Call the NYC Dept of Education, (212) 374-5141;

The Mayor, (212) 374-6807; and

JHS 190 at (718) 830-4970 and demand a change.
