Midknight Review -- new and revised: An update on the Texas story of a 17 year old honor student sent to jail for ridiculous reasons -- things are going well for the young lady.

Diane Tran at the moment of
her "conviction"

A Texas judge dismissed contempt charges against a 17-year-old honor student jailed for missing too much school because she worked two jobs to support her siblings.

Diane Tran, an 11th-grade student at Willis High School near Houston, was sent to jail for 24 hours last week by Judge Lanny Moriarty and ordered to pay a $100 fine for excessive truancy.

After intense public outcry over the teenager's punishment, Moriarty signed an order Wednesday dismissing contempt charges against Tran, a court clerk confirmed to FoxNews.com. The girl must now complete the proper paperwork to have her record expunged.

Tran was sent to jail for truancy after she reportedly missed 18 days of school this year. State law permits only 10 absences in a six-month period. . . . . read the rest of the story, here.

Editor's notes: the good news, in this story, is appreciated on several levels. Her "conviction" was over-turned by the judge who convicted her. There will be no continuing criminal record, something that could have kept the young lady out the college of her choice. Third, it appears that she will have received $100,000 before this is all over. Understand that Tran's mother moved away, leaving her with the responsibilities of finishing high school with honors and care for her two siblings.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
