A Garland, Texas honors student was disciplined for distributing flyers about a student walkout protesting ICE enforcement. The incident led to placement in a Disciplinary Alternative Education Program (DAEP) described by critics as jail-like. The case illustrates broader Texas efforts to enforce stricter school discipline measures.
Key Points
- Student disciplined for sharing protest flyers on campus
- Placement in DAEP facilities criticized as restrictive environments
