WASHINGTON (AP) -- Black students are more likely to be suspended from U.S. public schools -- even as tiny preschoolers.
The racial disparities in American education, from access to high-level classes and experienced teachers to discipline, were highlighted in a report released Friday by the Education Department's civil rights arm.
The suspensions -- and disparities -- begin at the earliest grades.
Black children represent about 18 percent of children in preschool programs in schools, but they make up almost half of the preschoolers who are suspended more than once, the report said. Six percent of the nation's districts with preschools reported suspending at least one preschool child.

Yeah...I wonder why.
A friend, middle-aged lady, substituted in the Harrisburg public schools.
A little black guy, not more than 5 years old, took out his little thingy and started chasing the girls around at recess.
They start young. They imitate what they see at home.
...the kicker? This was in 1968!!!

"Could there be a reason for this?"
These are not my words. Tommy Sotomayor, the man pictured here said it. "Black women are the worst stewards of children in the world". I've heard Tommy talk about how many baby's daddies many black women have for all of their kids. God forbid one of those babies daddies actually love their kids and try to be a father because that black woman will kill the kid just to get back at that man. Tommy's words not mine. So yes a "Black Beastie" (again quoting Tommy) for a mom and no father at home and I don't doubt these kids act they way they do. I just can't wait to hear Tommy's take on this story. Thank you DougfromUpland for turning me on to Tommy Sotomayor.
