Diane Tran 的案底被抹去了。

前些天有位高中生缺课太多， 被以藐视法庭最坐牢一天， 罚款100. 最近经过很多人的努力， 6月1号，这个案底被取消。大家的捐款也是多于10万。 详情请见

法官6月1号， 给出一个书面的解释。

"Since I was elected Precinct 1 Justice of the Peace in 2003, I have remained focused on serving the public to the best of my ability, listening to each case before me with an open mind and making an informed, just, and legal decision.

"As a father and someone with over three decades experience in law enforcement, I came into this office with not only a love for young people, but an acute awareness of the dangers they face in society and a genuine determination to provide whatever guidance or assistance might be necessary to guide them on the path toward a successful future.

"While I will not address the specifics of Ms. Tran’s case, I will say that my intent is and has always been to make sure the students in my precinct take full advantage of their opportunity to earn a high school diploma. According to state law, regardless of how high a student’s grades may be, if they have too many unexcused absences they will not receive credit for their classes. When a student who has already been to court and been court ordered to attend school each day continues to have unexcused absences, additional steps must be taken to enforce the law that is meant to ensure they complete their high school education.

"I want the best quality of life possible for all residents of Precinct 1, and I want our children to have the brightest futures they are capable of achieving. I will continue to hold students, and sometimes parents, accountable for unexcused absences as we work to reduce truancy, lower the dropout rate, and instill in tomorrow’s leaders the belief that rules and laws must be followed by all for society to properly function."

俺今天记录此事， 因为今天收到国会议员的正式回信， 说他对此事无能为力。 看来俺给错误的议员写了一封信。
