Because they misbehave more often? The same reason whites are suspended more than Asians, and boys are suspended more than girls. School discipline is not the business of the federal government, unless it can be shown that it is be administered in a discriminatory way. DeVos should revoke the Obama policies on school discipline.

Maybe because they are more often bad?

[MtnClimber]

No fathers at home, no discipline. Gangs, thug culture. That will do it.

“The teacher only sees me.”

Well, then you'd best behave.

[EinNYC]

When you have 73% of black kids born out of wedlock, usually in a single parent home, you don’t have both parents in alignment for discipline. In fact, you don’t have much discipline at all. So when a teacher makes a perfectly normal classroom request for quiet, to put a phone away, to do anything at all, black kids resent any attempt at correcting their behavior and act out. So these stats are hardly a surprise.

If a black student gets suspended for chewing gum and a white student gets a pass for starting a fight, then they would have a legitimate gripe. But I seriously doubt that’s the case.

boys are suspended more than girls

...and men commit crimes, are convicted and sent to prisons at a far higher rate than women. Yet no one questions this. Since women are more than 50% of the population, shouldn’t they be at least 50% of the prisoners? Of course not. Men commit more crimes than women. Yet the idea that blacks, in fact, commit crimes at a higher rate than whites seems to be unthinkable.

The school I sub at (and used to teach at) was completely turned upside down discipline-wise with one large family of black kids. When they left, the discipline issues seemed to disappear.

[SkyPilot]

and it is struggling to figure out why.

- No father in the most of the homes (no matriarchal society raising bastard children has ever succeeded, much less survived)

- No impulse control

- No respect for authority

- No respect for white teachers or administrators

- Children taught from birth that nothing is really their fault, and that all of their failures and shortcomings is because of "racism"

- Cultural rot that promotes illicit sex, boisterous behavior, violence, and narcissism

- Those children who do want to do well in school are targeted for abuse and violence for "acting white"

[fortes fortuna juvat]

I’m wondering, do they also commit 338% more behavioral offenses that are grounds for suspension? Just asking.

[Telepathic Intruder]

It’s always bothered me too why alcoholics get a disproportionally high number of drunk driving convictions.

[donna]

Because acting white is unacceptable?

So, kids act in a different way that attracts attention?

Kids needed endless activity or work to stay out of trouble.

My wife is retiring after this year, after teaching in public schools for almost 40 years. The reality is that the black children ARE the most disruptive and active children in most classes. Not all, but there are a good percentage that have NO INTEREST IN LEARNING. They know they will not have to get a job or be responsible for their own support.
This last week, she was giving out the class instructions for the learning task. One third grade male child, would not follow instructions. He was refusing to do anything. When she asked him why he wasn’t doing the assignment, he said very loud.. “I don’t take orders from no old white woman.”
Students like him, with failing grades, are why the teacher is held responsible for the students having such low general academic scores. My wife has had enough of being blamed for his kind of failures.
The inmates are running the asylums. The parents don’t care either.

[Sasparilla]

...where African-American students are 338 percent more likely to be suspended than their white peers...

They should be asking baby momma and Democrats where baby daddy is. Could it be that they create 338% more disruption than other students?

[rockrr]

In my admittedly limited experience black kids are more louder, more boisterous, and lack impulse control. More ofen than not they aren’t even aware of it. When teachers or authority figures point it out to them they are almost universally resentful and deny wrongdoing. I cannot tell to what degree they are oblivious to their own behavior and how much is testing the limits.

And those are the good ones...

[Rurudyne]

Once you convince people that they have grievances simply because someone else, by some arbitrary definition, doesn’t have similar grievances — even imputed “grievances” attributed vicariously because of the color of skin — several things become more likely. First they become much easier to manipulate. But just as importantly they may find it relatively easier to use their grievances as justification for acting out, misbehaving, because they are owed.

I would not be surprised to learn, if anyone dared keep track of these particular numbers, that there was a relationship between the strength one has fallen under the sway of the idea in question and the tendency to get in trouble.

As the Bard might observe: the fault is not in their stars but in themselves.

Avoid believing strongly in the idea that you are expressly burdened with a liability from all directions because of your skin color and you avoid the bitterness that comes with it.

But believe it strongly then ANYTHING that happens that is bad to any black person can be latched upon as proof of the myth, no matter its true significance, while anything that refutes the myth can be seen as spurious, exceptions to the unquestioned rule.

[RetiredTexasVet]

Do you mean the Communist NEA teachers actively discriminate against minority students ... shocked I tell you, I’m shocked that loyal communist union teachers would behave that way!!!

[GnuThere]

And prisons are COMPLETELY proportional to the country’s demographics. Not.
Or at least that’s the way Obama and Holder would have eventually rigged it, via “justice reform”.

[blueplum]

could it be, because some children respect their family name and behave appropriately?

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

Ate lunch in a local restaurant today. Beside us were 2 white women with 4 young children - no sign of any male presence. Don’t know if the women are “married” or not. Problem was their kids were actively pulling the place down around their ears, while they sat and talked, ignoring the children.

It’s not skin color, it’s lack of discipline that causes children to get into trouble. These kids were all under school age, but every one of them will be some teacher’s nightmare soon enough.
