Berkley East. One problem with Ann Arborites...they expand to the outer counties and ruin the ambiance. They take their snotty,liberal, yuppy-selves into normal people territory. (Tecumseh and Saline to name two)

I imagine the statistics are correct. Discipline is what the offenders lack. You don’t correct that by making the rules less lenient. It would more likely than not be a behavior disparity. We do youth NO favors by not expecting anything from them.

Dexter and Chelsea too. It's partly through the schools and that's simply everywhere.

The funny thing is that liberals leave Ann Arbor for these places realizing how crazy and inept their schools have become, then they go to the outlying small towns to escape and promptly vote and work for the same policies that destroyed the schools they fled.

It's a mental disease.

This is what "zero tolerance" is all about.

They can't make Eric Holder's people act like civilized human beings, so they have to pretend that things that aren't even wrong are elevated to crimes for non-Eric Holder students.

That's how you even-out the "discipline gap."

Punish the innocent.

I really thought the headline meant that they were going to stop allowing young inner city yutes to misbehave, not study, etc.....

but no....the same old crap....it LOOKS bad that so many blacks are discipline problems...not that they aren't achieving....or learning...or advancing....but just that it LOOKs bad that so many have to be disciplined...

Where does Gerald R. Ford, Jr., fit into Ann Arbor? I’ve never been there but have been in MI.

Based on my experience, the low-hanging fruit would come from fathers showing up and being involved in their kids’ life. That's a multi-racial issue.

The next thing would be to provide vocational training so a kid who doesn't want to be in school has an incentive to show up and not act up.

Then, and only then, you make it clear Thug Ain't Cool.

What are they going to do to close the gap?

Randomly pick a white kid to punish and expell everytime a black kid slugs a teacher?

Loaded statement: “no secret”, “traditional”, “disproportionate”

To Hell with the families that invest the time in raising responsible little citizens. Let’s instead punish them so the statistics cast no shadows on the petulant, self-serving, politically-correct jackwagons running the schools.

Does this mean that the kids who have grade point averages of 3.5 and OVER are going to receive 4.5% MORE punishment in order to close the "discipline gap" between the 1% and the 99% ???

The State is the surrogate father. That was Marx’ goal. Blacks are 70% there, whites are 25% there, Mexicans are nearly 55% there. Rampant abortion. It’s all planned.

Yes. Because the media and academic template inspires guilt not pride, liberals hate success, temperance and Christians. I said it. No apologies.

I live near Berkeley. I used to live near Harvard. 100% exact situations, Libtards trying to use tax dollars to create Utopia with fatherless, welfare and HUD-supported children. Millions in the hole, crime and poverty rampant. More hand wringing and idiotic programs like this.

I have a niece who is an inner city school teacher. I listen to some of her stories and it is sick sad. Teaching there is like dealing with wild savages. Administrators could care less and do nothing to try and correct the situation.

Let’s tell the truth. Black kids gets suspended more because they get cause more trouble. They need to dis whitey to prove their manhood.

The liberal solution, of course, is to just let them do whatever they want so we don’t looked biased when we suspend them.

If they had their way, they would allow jails to only have inmates in the same racial ratio as in the whole country.

Ford lived in Grand Rapids. Lots of moderate republicans like Dick DeVos over there but not rabid liberals like Ann Arbor republicans.

I live in southeastern Jackson county and we’re bible belt conservative here.

As I always say, If I had the choice of vaporizing Detroit or Ann Arbor, Detroit could rest easy.

Detroit is a stupid but indifferent parasite while Ann Arbor is an angry, self righteous, demanding parasite. They constantly insult the rest of us greedy racist rednecks in the same breath that they demand more taxpayer dollars.
