It is a stated policy, or was, hopefully stopped. I remember when it was ushered in. Kids in schools being bad - up to violence, profanity, riotous misbehavior, theft - actual criminal offenses - were not to be disciplined or thrown out of school. Instead, they were to be given “understanding” and literally group hugs.
All because the main offenders were black kids.
Naturally the crimes and wrong behaviors increased rapidly.
I don’t think it’s just public schools that won’t discipline black children. I ran into this at my daughter’s Christian school when she was in the 6th grade. I transferred her at the end of the school year because of an incident that happened just prior when the incident would have been an assault in today’s world, not so back then, but all they did was “talk” to the boy.
It’s funny but it seems like all this business started just about the same time they stated putting police stations in schools. Maybe it’s been a scam from the gecko. [Get go].
