Black girls have a big problem: racist discipline policies in our public schools. At least, that’s the narrative pushed by Democrats in Congress, who are calling for a radical overhaul of public school discipline to address racial disparities among K-12 students.
According to a new report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO), black girls are 5.2 times more likely to be suspended from school compared to white girls. Representing only 15 percent of all girls enrolled in public schools, black girls receive almost half of exclusionary discipline: suspensions, expulsions, and referrals to law enforcement. They are, the report concludes, “overrepresented among girls disciplined compared to their representation in the overall population of girls.”
The cause? Racism, of course.
Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., lauded the report, stating that it “push[es] back on the harmful narrative that Black girls are disciplined more because they misbehave more.” In her press release, Pressley asserted that the GAO report proves that the disparity is caused by “biases such as adultification and colorism.” She also argued that black girls are punished more because of “a lack of understanding of the historical, social, and economic inequities such as poverty, trauma, hunger, and violence that often impact student behavior.”
Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi attributed the disparity to “the unacceptable discrimination that Black and brown girls face in K-12 schools every day.” Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., said that in her deep-blue district in Minneapolis, black girls are discriminated against every day because of “discriminatory hair and dress policies.” In other words, our public schools, according to Democrats, are racist.

The cure? Pressley is pushing the “Ending PUSHOUT Act.” The proposal would prohibit a laundry list of punishments, like suspensions and expulsions. Under the act, schools — in exchange for federal money — would vow to eliminate disparities, create new discipline systems as “alternatives to suspension or expulsion,” and “create awareness of implicit and explicit bias and use culturally sustaining practices.” The Act appropriates $500 million every year for grants, which may not be used for police officers, surveillance equipment, or metal detectors.
Public schools run by Demonicrats are deeply noneducational, as exemplified in the Community Impact article, "Educators concerned as math test scores continue to decline in Austin ISD, statewide."
Once the word reaches black girls that pecker puss Pelosi sent them a get out of jail free card expect more videos black girls beating white girls heads against the curb.
Public schools in democrat cities are, ironically, slowing morphing into prisons, as Democrats encourage the lack of standards, race-victimhood, and poor behavior, which will necessarily require more force by those administering these crappy schools
The solution: bribing schools, with federal money, to allow blacks to run wild.
They really like to promote homeschooling don’t they? /sarc
If you Truly Hate your Children, send them to Public School!
I remind the young blacks in my church all the time that for the first century after abolition, black kids were more liable than white kids to be raised in a two-parent home. But for the past half a century or so that has flipped because blacks have gotten deeper into the sexual devolution than whites have.
The #1 thing that American blacks (or other American groups) need most is to shun off modern day hedonism and get back to God.
Suspensions and expulsions do not exist to punish the offending student. They exist to give the other students and the teachers a break from that student’s behavior. The education of the many cannot be sacrificed to appease a few problem students. Take away disciplinary options for teachers and watch student behavior problems explode among all races. The ultimate losers will be those students of all races who actually want to learn.
What can you expect from a party founded on slavery.
Spot on. Create a problem and ‘’manage’’ it forever.
Garbage in garbage out. And see how the money rolls in.
New York State needs new school funding formula

I can only imagine by how much Northern European and Northern Asian girls are underrepresented...
Appalachia has always been a hotbed of out-of-wedlock births. It got much worse when the government made it financially advantageous to have a child out of wedlock.
