The scene: Two school kids aged 12, one white, one black, beat a Hispanic child in a school classroom. The white child is suspended. The black child is absolved of responsibility.
Welcome to Obama's New World of Race Based Discipline and Punishment Quotas
Barack Obama's "African American Education Initiative" creates a new Federal bureaucracy. One of its goals will be to stop disciplinary action against black public school students who misbehave.~~~~~~
On July 26th Obama signed an executive order titled the "African American Education Initiative." The order essentially gives a green light for black students to misbehave in public schools. In two places, Obama's executive order calls on schools to reduce the number disciplinary actions taken against blacks students. The order specifically calls on schools too "not rely on methods that result in disparate use of disciplinary tools."
To comply, public schools would have to engage in a racial quota system of discipline. The executive order will create a new Federal bureaucracy to pressure school systems to comply with the president's demands. The executive order makes no mention of any effort to get black students to improve behavior.
Obama claims that black students lack equal access to education:
The executive order also states that black students "lack equal access" to education. This statement, by the White House, is outrageous and easily disproved. Across the nation, majority black public schools routinely receive more funding per pupil than majority white public schools.Washington DC is the perfect example. It has the highest average per pupil funding of any public schools in the nation. It also has the blackest public schools in the nation. Yet, this over-funding of black students yields no results in terms of academic improvement. DC public schools are widely touted as the worst performing schools in the entire industrialized world.
If DC was a state, it would be the state with the highest average per pupil expenditure and the lowest average performance. More money does not equal better test scores.
Missouri leads the nation in its black/white state funding gap. The state has spent billions of dollars in a failed effort to improve the academic performance of black students. Majority black schools in St. Louis and Kansas City have Olympic sized swimming pools, lavish theater and music departments, and state of the art computer labs. Per pupil spending is over double that of poor majority white public schools in the Ozark Mountain region of Missouri.
Once again, we see that the over-funding of black students yields no benefits. The very poor white students in the Ozarks have none of the lavish amenities enjoyed by the black students. However, the poor whites in the Ozarks outperform the better funded black students in the big cities.
I am not sure what a lack of education has to do with comporting one's self to accepted societal behavior (that's where parents come in), but Obama's assertion is simply untrue.
Although it is often blamed for the racial achievement gap, unequal school funding is largely a myth. Per-pupil spending in the U.S. is broadly similar across racial and ethnic groups. If any one group enjoys an advantage in funding, it is black students, especially in the Northeastern states. Group differences in school achievement cannot be the result of an unequal commitment of resources to minority students, and simple increases in public school funding are not likely to close the gaps.
It is precisely this kind of Obama idiocy that got Trayvon Martin killed. Trayvon Martin was caught with stolen goods in his possession.
It was that M-DSPD internal affairs investigation which revealed in October 2011 Trayvon Martin was searched by School Resource Officer, Darryl Dunn. The search of Trayvon Martin’s backpack turned up at least 12 pcs of ladies jewelry, and a man’s watch, in addition to a flat head screwdriver described as “a burglary tool”.When Trayvon was questioned about who owned the jewelry and where it came from, he claimed he was just holding it for a “friend”. A “friend” he would not name.
Martin's parents claimed to know nothing of the incident and they may not have learned of it because it was buried:
Later, after the police report was outlined in the Robles article, and despite Trayvon being suspended for the second time in a new school year, Martin family attorney, Benjamin Crump, said Trayvon’s dad, Tracy Martin, and Trayvon’s mom, Sybrina Fulton, did not know anything about the jewelry case.It was only as a consequence of the M-DSPD internal affairs investigation that “why” they may not have known came to light.
The goods found on Martin matched the police report:
On October 21st 2011 a burglary took place a few blocks from Krop Senior High School where Trayvon Martin attended. The stolen property outlined in the Miami-Dade Police Report (PD111021-422483) matches the descriptive presented by SRO Dunn in his School Police report 2011-11477.
The episode never became a crime:
However, there was ONE big issue. SRO Dunn never filed a criminal report, nor opened a criminal investigation, surrounding the stolen jewelry. Instead, and as a result of pressure from M-DSPD Chief Hurley to avoid criminal reports for black male students, Dunn wrote up the jewelry as “found items”, and transferred them, along with the burglary tool, to the Miami-Dade Police property room where they sat on a shelf unassigned to anyone for investigation.A separate report of “criminal Mischief” (T-08809) was filed for the additional issue of writing “WTF” on a school locker. [It was the search for the marker used to write the graffiti that led to the backpack search].
The cover story was that Trayvon Martin was suspended for "graffiti" and not possession of stolen goods. The event was morphed from a crime into a school discipline event for a specific reason:

Affirmative action in discipline~!
That’s nice...
Barak Hussein Obama has officially crossed over into the designation of “F*cktard”.
So in the name of fighting racism, there will be one set of rules/justice for black, and another for whites and white/Hispanics. How crazy is that!
WHITE ASIANS are about to get the very short end of the stick I fear
WHITE ASIANS who give a fellow student a drity look...thereby DISSING same...will likely see their Academic Career Terminated
"Obama's kids".. or should I say "Civilian Army"
The sad thing is that instead of kids like Sweet Little Trayvon learning that misbehavior has consequences and potentially learning to act civilized, they will instead learn that they are immune from penalties. That lesson is wrong, as they will discover when they stumble across targets who turn out to be armed homeowners, armed pedestrians, and the other instruments of life’s natural consequences.
Is this a joke?
The world is upside down and I feel helpless.
Lloyd, Julian, and Joshua....
I am a bit shocked at three black kids with “conventional” names...
The cure for helplessness is preparedness. Start now, if you have not already.
I know it is a rhetorical question, but where is it in the Constitution that gives the President the authority to do this?
The President is the chief executive officer of the executive branch. Any executive order written can only be directed at those that work in the executive branch.
The President is not a king, nor a dictator, just because he says something does not make it law.
Where is the Republican party while all this is going on.
Any state that accepted Race to the Top, obama’s NCLB on steroids, already includes students’ civil rights. Schools could be punished (funding withheld) for punishing more minorities than whites. Also, better schools within school districts will be altered as well. Minority students will be shuffled out of the underperforming schools and into the better schools, and better teachers will be moved from those good schools onto the underperforming schools. You know, so they’ll all be equal! That’s how socialism works, right?

Wow...so, let’s go back to segregated schools, huh! I mean, you don’t think any self-respecting white parent would send their kid to a school like that, do you?
Quite likely they'll both get suspended, and some other kid who gets caught with a fist full of women's jewelry and burglary tools and a lame excuse about how someone gave it to him will get a pass. Sound familiar? Racial preferences in discipline are already a fact of life.
I stopped to fuel up on the way home on Sunday and saw a couple of '0 bummers' sons looking at me in a certain way. I told them "I can go hot in seconds", so they took off the other direction. My .45 was wanting some action.
