**A previous poster claimed that zero tolerance policies were a way for school administrators to appear anti-racist when "expel[ling] gang members, rapists, violent attackers and murderers", who were presumably all black, by giving said administrators a way to expel white boys for minor offenses.**

Your comments still don't make sense in light of what was posted by me on race baiting tatics which resulted in zero tolerance/zero justice policies.

That's because your entire premise is wrong.

If you'll do even a cursory search about "zero tolerance", you'll find it was enacted not because of "race-baiting" or fairness issues, but because of fears of school violence, sparked in part by widely publicized school shootings.

You'll also find that most research shows that minorities are more likely to be punished under zero-tolerance policies.
