Charges dropped against South Fayette student

After right-wing officials in Pennsylvania's South Fayette School District filed bogus wiretapping charges against a high school student who secretly recorded harassment he suffered - charges that were later reduced to disorderly conduct, for which he was convicted - the case has now taken a turn for the better.

After he decided to appeal the conviction, authorities have now dropped the case altogether. The DA's office said, "The behavior does not rise to the level of a citation." That's their way of saying the student never should have been charged in the first place.

Democratic State Rep. Jesse White plans to introduce a bill that would specifically allow students to record the harassment they endure.

America's schools are largely run by right-wing fascists who connive with the prison industry and other mucketymucks to destroy kids' lives.
