Austin ISD to scale back discipline on students to eliminate racial disparities

Beginning in the fall, the Austin Independent School District will be significantly scaling back the way it disciplines children who act up.

The goal is to reduce racial disparities, which show Black and brown students are being disproportionately punished compared to their white classmates.

According to data compiled by the district, Black children at AISD were nearly five times more likely than their white peers to receive disciplinary action, include suspensions, being placed at a disciplinary campus or being expelled.

That's racist!

Each campus needs a social worker to give hugs to the little delinquents.

“Black and brown students are being disproportionately punished compared to their white classmates”

Well, maybe “black and brown” students are disproportionately delinquent?

Maybe teachers are trying to keep them from becoming delinquent?

Didn’t Austin just have a skinny black guy with dreadlocks shoot a bunch of people?

Maybe he was a student at the Austin ISD who the schools shrugged off his violent behavior and let him get away with it?

Then he hears about CRT and Biden saying White Supremacy is worse than ISIS, and Lebron saying white cops wake up in the morning and decide whether they’ll shoot a black guy or not?

Austin schools have chosen the wrong solution.
Teachers have less power.
Thugs and Lazies have more power.
Those kids are Equal Opportunity Troublemakers.
They aren’t fooled by this pandering.

Dallas announced they will be doing the same. Seems to me that the Non Black or Brown kids need to start behaving like hoodlums to flatten the bell curve. It’s Whitey’s fault.

Austin decided to become a sanctuary city. And now they are surprised they have all these problems?

Sorry, ZERO sympathy.

this means Whites are doing less CRIMES.

instead, they plan NEWS racism and overlooking
some comes on a planned racist basis.

this new plan will probably increase shooting and rapes
by nonWhites in Austin, which has already started.

If ever there was an incontrovertible example of the simple minded, misguided, naive puerile logic of the woke leftist, this is it.

could it be that the non white children acted worse then the white children?....

this is why saint trayvon martin is dead....he had stolen jewelry in his school back pack and the school did not immediately call the police to arrest him....instead, he was allowed to be a stupid feral criminal and was shot dead for his efforts....

Looks like Austin ISD wants to put itself out of business, personally I’m all for it.

What the school administrators have to do is create a parity list of infractions requiring disciplinary measures:

Black pupil pulls a ballpeen hammer out of his backpack, cracks teacher's skull, sending him to the E.R.: 10 points (= three-day suspension);

White pupil bites pop-tart into shape of gun: 10 points (= three-day suspension);

Black pupil brings loaded gun to school, takes pot shots at principal's office: 5 points (= one-day suspension);

White pupil bangs hall locker too loudly: 5 points (= one-day suspension).

See, no more racism! Isn't that "more equitable?"

Regards,
