IIRC this is why St. Treyvon was on the street casing cars instead of being in jail for theft.

President Barack Obama’s administration issued the guidance after finding that black students across the U.S. were more than three times as likely to be disciplined troublemakers as their white peers.

Very poor editing by our friends at AssPress.

Gee you’d think the AP could have actually given us the name of the policy....

Trump officials cancel Obama-era policy on school discipline

No more "Get Out Of Jail Free" cards for you!

Maybe, but probably five times as likely to commit an offence where discipline is called for.

Wasn’t this part of the reason the Florida school shooter hadn’t been criminally prosecuted before he attacked his ex-classmates?

You would be shocks at how many dysfunctional children are
in our schools, even down to the lower Elementary School grades.

I’m learning about the extent of these problems with emotionally disturbed or parentally-miseducated kids (re their conduct) from my grandchildren.

Schools need good, strong and enforced rules of conduct, but if the children have problems, they must also be addressed in realistic ways. Excusing them from at least a partial responsibility means that they will continue to misbehave because they can, and that spells trouble in Middle School/Junior High and High Schools.

Look at the death rates of young black students and the causes of it. America - We have a problem.

Hope this new revised policy approach will succeed. It has too. Our children are too precious to waste.

Obama’s policy was “fixing the books”. It accomplished nothing. Bad kids were still bad kids.

I have often proposed, with tongue just slightly in cheek, that Washington should hire a group of convicted con men or other such criminal mentalities for a Devil’s Advocate Committee.

Then every bill/executive order proposed be submitted to them with the order to find a way around it.

I suspect we wouldn’t have a tenth of the problems in any new law because many of the “loopholes”, intended or not, would be discovered by this committee and not by the Trial By Fire the Public has to go through, as in the Parkland case.
