DALLAS - A federal lawsuit is set to be filed against the Waxahachie Independent School District for its role in a series of controversial drug searches last year.
Dallas attorney Tom Corea, who lives in Ellis County (county seat=Waxahachie), confirmed his law firm's plans this week in an e-mail sent out to local political activists and TV reporters.
"I have been retained by the Gallegos family
to pursue a lawsuit against the district for the violations of [federal law] and state [law] against Tarah Gallegos," Corea said.
The lawsuit comes on the heels of a parent-citizen protest outside of Waxahachie Jr. High, where school officials confirmed a series of informant-led drug searches took place last year.
Linda Gallegos, mother of 15-year-old Tarah, complained to The Ellis County Press last year that school administrators threatened her daughter with suspension if she did not comply with a female principal's request to lift up her shirt; a male principal was in the same room when the threat and search took place, Tarah said last year, in reference to one of the searches last year.

Prior to elections in Afghanistan, U.S. politicians asked, “Are the people ready for democracy?” implying that life under the rule of a repressive regime had stunted their capacity for participating as free people in the running of their government. In the reverse, those of us who are dismayed by officials’ and citizens’ conduct during recent U.S. elections are asking, “Have the citizens of the United States decided that authoritarian rule is to be preferred over Liberty?”
The public’s tolerance of flagrant violations of candidates’ and voters’ rights indicates yet another instance where sacrifice of individual rights has become acceptable, with the assumption, I suppose, that it will always be the other fellow’s rights that are sacrificed.
What has transpired in the previous months is anything but democracy in action; it’s a demonstration of a breakdown in the democratic process. George W. Bush’s success in this election has been astounding, with much of the credit going to the commercial press and conservative religious coalition which performed like political arms of the Republican administration during his campaign.

(DALLAS, November 4, 2004) – Several members and
allies of North Texas for
Justice and Peace, a Dallas-based activist group, met a wall of
police and security as they attempted to pass literature to the
speakers of a conference on globalization and to rally against the
conference.
The Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas
hosted the “Myths and Realities of Globalization” conference from
November 3-5, 2004 at
the bank headquarters. The protesters had planned to be a “Welcoming
Committee” for the conference speakers as they left the Magnolia Hotel
in downtown Dallas to go to the conference. Because of the level of
police and security presence, the protesters were unable to get
anywhere near the speakers.
“It was like they were afraid we were going to be another Seattle,”
said one of the protesters, who wishes to remain anonymous, in a
reference to the 1999 protest of the World
Trade Organization, in which the WTO was shut down by protesters.
“It was unreal. But there weren’t 50,000 of us like in Seattle. There
weren’t even 50 of us. Obviously they know the people are opposed to
globalization – or else they’re ashamed of themselves – for them to
resort to this level of oppression.” Feature continued on newswire >>
As you read this article, the Coca-Cola company is using para-military goon squads to kidnap, torture, and kill union organizers at their plants in Columbia, South America.
Many of these killers were trained at the School of the America's (remember General Wesley Clark, the so-called peace candidate? He used to be the top- dog at this torture academy)
