> Federal data show that black students are more than twice

And why is that?

[LydiaLong]

Of course the reason is that whites are so danged prejudiced.

[Pirate Ragnar]

Black Lives Matter.........to whom?

[ViLaLuz]

She was thrown across the classroom? By who, the Hulk?

[Leaning Right]

Simple solution to the problem: Just arrest as many white kids as black. Detain as many white kids as are needed at the end of each school day. Figure out the charges later.

I call this my “Round up the Usual Suspects” plan.

[Lorianne]

This makes me so angry.

Back when I was in high school I was so upset over disturbances by students in class that I went on strike. I led a group of students to the detention hall (which was empty) or outside courtyard and we studied there ... without a teacher) anytime there was a disturbance in class and the teacher would waste everyone’s time trying to deal with the offending student ... or worse try to punish the whole class for the disturbance of one or two.

I myself was almost suspended for doing this but was saved I think by being and honor student and by having parents who were willing to go to bat for me.

A group of us would walk out and go somewhere else and hold our own lessons.

To this day I hate public schools for this very reason.
Zero accountability, zero respect for the students who WANT TO BE THERE and want to learn. Too much time and attention was placed on students who did not want to be there and were not interested in learning .... totally ass backward.

Students who act out in class should have a 3 strikes rule then they are out. Permanently. The parents can find somewhere else to warehouse their little hooligans.

Taxpayers should be paying to educate only those students who can behave, WANT TO BE THERE, and who are interested in learning.

Taxpayers and students who want to learn are being screwed in all of this. It is total BS.

PS I did not send my child to public school after grade 6. If I had I would not have put up with the BS and I would have been the parent from hell down at the school everyday protesting.

"Federal data show that black students are more than twice as likely to be arrested in school as white students."

Federal data show that black students are more than twice as likely to be arrested in school commit more than twice as many disturbances as white students.

There, fixed it.

[Alberta's Child]

When a law enforcement officer is called to the scene, his job isn't to make someone in a classroom behave.

This idiotic social experiment this country has been undertaking for the last 50+ years -- where trillions of dollars has been spent trying to assimilate entire classes and cultures that have no interest in assimilation -- is doomed to fail.

Federal data show that black students are more than twice as likely to be arrested in school as white students.

Federal data show blacks account of 50% of homicide arrests despite being just 13% of the population, too.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Sadly the black kids are more than twice as likely to be ill brought up and disruptive. It is what it is.

That being said there are ways to deal with teens that don’t entail throwing them around in the classroom. That’s not a good policy.

If the cop had just waited out in the hall and snagged the girl in question after class she would havw been taken to the office and counseled and disciplined which she sorely needed. Now she is going to feel empowered and has gained a lot of street cred with her classmates. I feel sure she will face no discipline and she’s probably headed down a bad path from the descriptions of her current situation.

Disarm the SC school police officers. New duties for the school resource officer should now include:

Send them to the student parking lot to issue parking tickets for kids not parking between the lines. (Of course, the ticket would only be a warning and carry no penalty.)

Station the cop outside the school supply room so pencils and staplers aren’t stolen. Make the cop sign off on the inventory at the end of each shift.

Have the cop guard the lunch room garbage cans to monitor how much of Michelle O’s special lunches are tossed out.

Make an occasional pass thru student bathrooms to be sure no students are smoking. If one is caught smoking, provide said scofflaw with a “Why You Should Quit Smoking” pamphlet from the US Surgeon General.

(Note...I personally prefer my resource officer to be armed and aggressive in responding to any of the little darlin’s brouhahas.)

[SoFloFreeper]

i wish every cop in that county/town would walk off the job.

one of their own gets punished for enforcing the law and removing a perp who refused to obey a lawful order.

and because it was caught on a cell phone and obama’s lawless DOJ/FBI started whining, the cop got fired.

just leave, guys....white or black, your desire to keep order in that municipality is no longer wanted. let the thugs run wild, and see how much the community likes the situation.

[CyberAnt]

THE STUDENT ASSAULTED THE COP FIRST - THAT’S WHY HE TREATED HER THAT WAY .. AND I’M NOT UPSET ABOUT IT AT ALL.

Yes, it is heavy handed; but when a “child” treats an adult of authority by assaulting them, then the “child” no longer has to be treated with kid gloves.

I’M SICK AND TIRED OF THESE CHILDREN PUSHING ADULTS AROUND .. AND IF THE ADULTS DON’T PUT A STOP TO IT .. IT’S ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE.

[Logical me]

This black female punk was dragged a short distance where the officer could cuff this unruly jackass and arrest. He did so to get her to an area where she could not hurt anyone else. He was completely right, I would have done the same.

[odawg]

Thrown across the room? All I saw was that she was dumped out of the desk.

Has anyone ever specified how the arresting officer was supposed to get her out of the desk?

[Alfred O. Bama]

I don't care who you are; that's funny!
