A pattern we’ve seen throughout the United States is on a roll in California. Last week, the state Senate approved a bill to prohibit schools from suspending students who engage in “willful defiance” of teachers and other school authorities and staff. This permission slip for disruptive and even dangerous behavior also extends to the disruption of school activities.
The bill’s author and those who support it cite racial disparity as the driving reason for the ban. CBS Sacramento reported, “African-American students made up 5.6% of enrollment in California schools in 2017-18, but accounted for 15.6% of willful defiance suspensions. Conversely, white students made up 23.2% of statewide enrollment but made up only 20.2% of willful defiance suspensions.”
In other words, the implication is that the underlying reason for the disparity is racism. Yet, it’s the teachers and principals on the front line who make the decisions about who should be suspended. Is the State of California saying its teachers are racist? Or is this an excuse to create “racial parity?”
That’s what Jason Riley at The Wall Street Journal believes. In a piece last year about Obama administration guidance to schools on the issue, he noted, “Put another way, the [Obama] administration was demanding racial parity in school discipline, regardless of who was being disruptive, which is as silly as demanding racial parity in police arrests, regardless of who’s committing crimes. The result is that more schools have been disciplining fewer students in order to achieve racial balance in suspension rates and stay out of trouble with the federal government.”
California passed a similar bill last year when Jerry Brown was governor. He vetoed it, stating in part, “Teachers and principals are on the front lines educating our children and are in the best position to make decisions about

Have FUN, publik skul teecherz..!
So teachers now have to accept stidents who reject tge conceptual quack science of 57 genders and man-made global clinate change causung earthquakes, meteor showers, and global Islamic terrorism?
Cloward-Piven. The rats have committed to destroying the government in the hopes of building a new socialist society.
Unfortunately it seems to be working.
Destruction of America accelerates.
Melting pot? One nation for all - bs - we must be racist and give colored people more preferential treatment because they’re too dumb and animalistic to act like whites. <- This is exactly what the Democrats AND OBAMA are presenting as fact and basing their lawmaking on.
Maybe we should just go back to segregated schools.
In order to make the numbers work, schools have to only notice the most outrageous conduct from black students, while adopting a strict zero-tolerance policy for white students.
In other words, they most practice radical racial discrimination.
Sin is lawlessness!
Teachers can't discipline students because the school gets Fed. matching dollars only if the kid's butt is in the seat.
So, suspensions and expulsions are very rare and highly discouraged.
Are you kidding me?
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.

Lose control of our schools, borders, families, culture, law, politics, civilization, republic.
The communist teachers unions have weighed in.
Willful defiance should have been taken care of when they were two.
How about demanding racial parity in school behavior?
In Chicago, just pass a law that blacks youts could only commit 16% of the murders, consistent with the percentage of blacks in the larger population. Murder rate drops overnight. Simple.
Before I retired from the Air Force, I was approached about becoming a teacher through the “troops to teachers” program. With insane measures like this coming to the fore, declining was one of the best decisions I ever made.
Yes, this is what Khrushchev was referring to when he said “we will bury you”. The plan is working.
Well, California has an obvious Asian problem. Not enough of them are disciplined. Since there exists an obvious racial disparity, make being respectful an offense. Gotta get those percentages of offenders to equal out somehow.
White liberals. Pushing blacks into the dwindling spiral of ignorance, degradation, and misery for 150 years.
Insanity
What’s the over under for when CA teachers all walk? Put me down for 3 years, two months and 14 days.
