Please let Texas secede from the United States of America.
Please grant Gov. Rick Perry's wish to create the Lone Star Republic (after returning the trillions of dollars invested there by American taxpayers).
Spawning Dubya isn't the last straw for Uncle Sam. Silsbee (Tex.) School District is.
SSD first allowed a star athlete to continue attending school and playing basketball after he pled guilty to sexually assaulting a member of the cheerleading squad.
Then it suspended the assault victim from the squad for refusing to cheer for the convicted star during games and advised her to avoid the school cafeteria and homecoming activities.
The assault victim's family sued SSD and lost.
It gets worse.
SSD likely will require the assault victim's family to pay its $35,000 defense legal costs. (19 JUNE 2011)
