What’s next for Preston Hollow elementary principal?

by PegNews wire

Reports Preston Hollow People:

Two moms and members of a group of Latino parents, who organized themselves in a fight against alleged segregation within the Dallas Independent School District, say today they are victorious.

Their celebration followed a Nov. 16 ruling by federal Judge Sam A. Lindsay who found the principal of Preston Hollow Elementary School in violation of the 14th Amendment and liable to two plaintiff’s children in a suit filed in April against the district and the school’s principal, Teresa Parker.

The paper also reports that the defense attorney for Parker said her job status is "not even on the table” for discussion yet.

What will happen next? DISD will be forced to retire the principal, Teresa Parker. The original plaintiffs and their legal counsel MALDEF will rebuff any and all changes made to the classroom makeup at Preston Hollow. Why you ask? Simple, Judge Lindsay did not find DISD guilty. Judge Lindsay only awarded actual and punitive damages to plaintiff Santamaria. OFE and its President, Ana Gonzalez recieved no monetary compensation. MALDEF did not get their fees paid by the loser as customary in federal cases. Each side is liable for their own cost of litigation. Guess what? MALDEF is pissed off. No big pay day. MALDEF and the plaintiffs will be back, no doubt claiming that Teresa Parker and DISD are in violation of Judge Lindsay's order on January 18th, the day after the deadline. This time MALDEF will argue for additional sanctions, monetary damages, and attorney fees. So the court room battle for Preston Hollow will continue. And who are the real winners and losers? There are no winners, only the kids are the losers. None, not the Latinos, Blacks, Asians, and Anglos.
