Let's be clear, anyone can say the same thing about grossly disproportionate crime rates by blacks of jr. high and high school age, perhaps even worse than the adult male black population.
There are zero facts supporting the pollyana arbitrary assertion that black male pre-schooler behavior is any different.
True. And the reason is black parents do a horrible job socializing their sons. This has nothing to do with the schools...

Non-PC logic tells me that either black parents, through lack of discipline and poor example, are responsible for the behavior of their kids,or there really is a genetic predisposition that causes blacks to act out more than their asian and white contemporaries.
Since asians, who have been persecuted and abused just as much as blacks in the post Civil War period, do not have this problem, quite the opposite in fact, one wonders what the real cause is.

For that “take it with a grain of salt” quote...you can find studies to back literally ANY viewpoint you hold on ANY topic, so this proves NOTHING. Being an educator for several years (over 2 decades) black, fatherless boys have a LOT more behavior problems and to even refer them for treatment is viewed as racist.
1) Some black children are suspended, but most are not. Is that random chance, or is something different about their conduct? What might that be?
2) Child behavior problems often arise from violence, turmoil, etc. in their homes. Does Professor Gosa argue that black children are NOT disproportionately affected by that?
3) Another big factor is low IQ, which is known to affect certain communities more than others. I don’t see any mention of these factors in Professor Gosa’s analysis of disciplinary “disparities”. A valid study would compare the behavior and discipline of children from similar socioeconomic circumstances and IQ levels.
4) Gosa makes no mention of actual studies involving observation of children’s conduct. Bias might be documented by placing video cameras in multiple classrooms at multiple schools without the knowledge of the teachers, etc. Reviewers can then identify problem conduct on the tapes without knowing what action was taken. Then disciplinary results can be compared. If this show a long-term pattern of well-behaved black children being disciplined, and/or poorly behaving whites getting a pass, then you have something.
5) Comparison of disciplinary results alone indicates that the whole thing is bogus. Gosa is either an idiot or dishonest. He obviously cares nothing for children if he thinks letting them run wild is to their benefit, or that the other kids can learn anything amid chaos. He needs to take a seat and grow up.
Wrong...
My evidence is from my own experience. I was in kindergarden in 1959. There were three black kids in my class. Pure and simple, they were all thugs. They were 5 and they were thugs. I could go on about what they did in the class, on the playground and on the way home. But suffice it to say, they were thugs.
And 1959 was when things were "good".
Notice the stats shift?
Talks about the percent of blacks suspended then says total percent over nonviolence. What’s the percent of black violence suspensions versus white?
The better question is why whites, asians, and hispanics capable of better behavior?
Stop harassing and attacking those who “act white” and you’ll reduce the prison end of the pipeline.
I mentored a black child. I visited his house. There were no sheets on the bed, no washing machine, no books. All the children slept on one pee-stained mattress. By the time he was 6, his mother had produced several other children by several different men, and the latest one had killed the baby in the crib and blamed in on the 6-year-old child, who had to undergo police questioning. Wonder how his attitude in school went the next morning?
This is just sad.
The author is either stupid or dishonest.
Fear of black children can make Trayvon Martin’s Skittles and a hoodie seem like an eminent threat

The author lost me here ... actually I just skimmed the article because I’m tired of this line of thinking ...
NOTE TO AUTHOR: Trayvon was a threat because he was kicked out of his south Florida school for burglary and he was casing homes in a decent subdivision ... he was caught by George who DID NOT FOLLOW Trayvon but only observed from a distance ,, on a phone call Trayvon let his fat low-IQ GF browbeat him into going back and violently confronting George (on is phone were gangster photos of Saint Trayvon posing with a gun and such),, pounding someones head into a sidewalk is not exactly friendly behaviour.
