This is a sad attempt by the DMN to go after a good kid. Michael Hinojosa was ASKED to be part of ASP to help other students. He worked to inspire and encourage them, lead SAT camps and tutorials and lead by example. He's a role-model, a leader, and a great DISD scholar. That he decided to be part of a program like this is admirable. We need more kids like this.

Finally, he didn't take anyone's spot, Hillcrest has 33 seniors in ASP, and most ASP's have roughly 20 seniors.

Something good happens for DISD and we still must focus on the negative. Hundreds of kids are going to great schools this year receiving millions of dollars worth of scholarships and we focus on ONE student in the program.

The DMN decided not to positively cover this, but at least some news did:

Big thing is DISD kids are getting scholarships and going to great schools:
