WTF? TEXAS TEEN FINED $637 FOR SWEARING

WTF?

TEXAN teen Victoria Mullins is cursing her foul mouth after being fined $637 for using bad language in a high school classroom.
Now the 17-year-old has had to take on a waitressing job to pay the fine for disorderly conduct and abusive language.
Court records show show that teacher Michelle Lene heard Victoria Mullins say "you trying to start [expletive]!" loudly in class one day last October.
Mullins admitted it was wrong on her part, explaining: “A kid who is really obnoxious, starts stuff with everyone and always gets on my
nerves was bothering me.”
Sent to to the principals office she was given lunch detention and told to: "watch her mouth" so she thought it was the end of it.


But the next day, the school resource officer presented the North Mesquite High School student a ticket.
The Dallas Morning News reports that the original fine, for disorderly conduct/abusive language, was $340, but other charges were added, including failure to show for a hearing.
The complaint said Lene was offended, and that Mullins' language was a breach of the peace.
School district spokesman Ian Halperin said the incident should be a reminder to parents: "To do something."
He added: "There’s a way to handle it to mitigate these situations before you get to this point."
