Judge Tommy Munoz
In Bryan, TX, Justice of the Peace Tommy Munoz is implementing a new strategy for punishing “truants” (aka people who don’t do what the government orders them to do) – forcing them to carry GPS devices at all times.
Says Munoz, “If your son or daughter does not want to get up and go to school, you call my office and I will send the constable to go get them out of bed and bring them to school. Is this intended to embarrass you? Yes it is, because the law says they need to be in school and if they don’t want to get up, well we’re going to get them there.”
To add insult to injury, the parents of the kid who did not go to school are forced to pay court costs. Maybe they should focus more on making school actually stimulating for youths rather than punishing them when they react to the general lousiness of public schools. Nah… that would entail creativity and excellence.
Thanks Genevieve!

Well lets see, the Judge wants to help the students stay in school, get an education and hopefully have a successful life. The parents are ineffectual in motivating their children to get an education (maybe they just don’t care) and you criticize the Judge for holding both the student and parent responsible!. WOW J, you came to the right web site to make your dumb ass comments.
