Neal Boortz: Race-based punishment in government schools (Tucson)
Nealz Nuze ^ | September 22, 2009 | Neal Boortz

Posted on 09/22/2009 9:52:38 AM PDT by EveningStar

At first I thought this article was a joke. I really thought that there was no way our government schools have gotten this bad. But I was wrong. Go figure.

The Tucson Unified School District has decided to implement a two-tiered system for student discipline. One tier will be for blacks and Hispanics ... and the other tier will be for everyone else.

The obvious conclusion is that the minorities are behaving worse, getting expelled and suspended more, so the race pimps trick up the system in their favor.

With the goal of creating a "restorative school culture and climate" that conveys a "sense of belonging to all students," the board is insisting that its schools reduce its suspensions and/or expulsions of minority students to the point that the data reflect "no ethnic/racial disparities."

"Discipline By Quota".

Moral to the story...

Never, ever, underestimate the stupidity and psychosis of modern-day liberals.

Some behavior will be met with strict penalties; some will not. It all depends on the color of the student's skin.

So does a dark skinned Black receive a different level of discipline then a light skinned Black?

And what about Albinos? Do they merit special attention?

I was reading about this yesterday in the Tucson paper. As near as I can tell, this is a Bill Ayers education policy special. That said, it seems to me this plan is designed to permit minority students to spend less time in school, therefore encouraging them to acquire less knowledge and skills, such as math, and to enjoy lower GPAs, than the non-minority students; in effect, a plan for keeping an ample supply of maids, yard workers and other minimum wage toilers available in Tucson. At the same time, the strict standards set for the non-minority students would encourage them to learn more, raise their GPAs, get into college, and live the American dream. I don’t think the “educators” bothered to think this through to its logical conclusion.

This is just a reflection of the double standard that already exists in the USA. Some people, by virtue of their certified victim status, are held to a lower standard than others.

It’s illegal and unconstitutional to do this, but apparently the race hucksters complained about the “disproportionate” number of minority people being disciplined, that they decided to give them an easier time and discipline more of the people who don’t commit crimes.

They proposed something like this in upstate NY so my guess is some race-huckster organization is rolling this out country wide. Make no mistake, you start with this nonsense in the schools, and eventually a 2 tier justice system shows up at your local police department and prison.

The reason they are misbehaving has nothing to do with their DNA, and has everything to do with their culture or deficiencies within it.

Attacking misbehavior is not racist, it is Culturist.

Racism = Bad

Culturism = Not Bad and can be good if applied correctly.

You can choose your culture, one cannot choose race.

Central Tucson with the University Liberals is so far off of mainstream Arizona so as to make it a laughingstock in the real west. The school system is an abject failure. Suburban schools do well. Tucson is run by Democrats. Nothing more needs be said.

Maricopa County has the same thing for people convicted of DUI. Indians and Spanish speakers can be diverted into a special program for minorities which results in far lighter sentences than for those not minorities. Andrew Thomas sued but it was tossed for lack of standing.

Call them what they really are: COMMUNISTS or MARXISTS!

Liberals, leftists, progressives, greens, and socialists are all riding the same train. The final destination has always been: COMMUNISM!

Scratch a liberal and under his thin skin is a socialist. Dig a little deeper and you will soon find the Marxist nuclear fuel rod that drives everything he says and does.

This reminds me of a parent who knows that one child is “good” or “smart” and therefore requires of that child better behavior, better grades than the other child who has been deemed too wayward or too dumb to succeed. This is hateful policy towards minorities. We require higher standards of those whom we care about and respect. I hope a nonwhite parent will complain and/or sue.

reading the comments under the article, someone wrote how when Latinos are the majority, things will change....

sorry folks....there is no rule of law....

what applies now will not apply then....

we should collectively move to one large area of the country and dominate it.....

well, look how many "laughs" were aimed at Gov Palin during the campaign.....threatening rape by a NYC gang...etc......

if they had happened to anyone else on the leftist side, we'd have had a special prosecutor set up...

and how many times did people threaten death to Bush or Cheney and just get it shrugged off?

On reading the article it also sounds as if punishment will be reviewed in this light, which I read as a sort of threat to those who have decided that any particular student needs punishment/discipline. Another thought...this will foment ill will between the children, cause them to see themselves in terms of groups and offend their sense of fairness. Kids pick up very quickly on this sort of treatment. And it sets up the minorities to have a warped view of how the real world will react to them.

Any parent of a minority student in Tuscon should be outraged by this. Tuscon schools are basically saying "Look, we know your child is a failure, and you know your child is a failure, so we won't hold your child to normal standards, OK? Now, here's a pat on the head, you poor, troubled, minority idiot parent/child..."

Then again, they've dumbed down the populace to such an extent that many don't even realize when a liberal says "YOU ARE A HOPELESS MINORITY MORON!" straight to their face. Absolutely pathetic.

It boggles my mind that ANY parent of ANY race would be OK with this, much less celebrate it in any way. Damned fools.

It’s not that simple. They are saying “If you are a minority and you want to get suspended, you better do something really bad”. Better yet, if two minorities get in a fight, there will be no consequences because that would really screw up the quota.

“The reason they are misbehaving has nothing to do with their DNA, and has everything to do with their culture or deficiencies within it.”

And the fact that the policies pushed by our leaders simply let them get away with it. Over and over, in criminal cases we’ve seen the ‘latino’ slide when a US citizen gets nailed to the cross for the exact same crime...identity theft, drug running, driving without licenses, and on and on.

We have created a monster that is destroying the rule of law and equal justice...sad, sick joke!

It is racist to expect blacks and Hispanics to adhere to standards whites have set for themselves and their cultures.

No one expects the African Space Program or Mexican medical programs to lead the world in science and research. Neither should we expect the offspring of those cultures to behave any differently in the US.

So, we need to lower expectations accordingly, and laws and customs regarding behavior and achievement should have a lowered standard for those incapable of meeting existing standards.

See, that not racist at all ...

Years ago in order to lower the alarming robbery statistics in Tucson they downgraded driving off without paying for your gas to a misdemeanor. That’s the kind of fools they got running the show down there.

Federal and state governments increasingly violate our Unalienable Rights at their peril.

The people are beginning to notice creeping tyranny and unequal treatment before the law.

As the recent Tea Parties and Town Halls show, there is resistance if not a whiff of rebellion brewing among our once free people.
