Racial divide: Minority students face more discipline, data reveals

Black and Latino students across the United States are far more likely to be suspended than white students - and far less likely to have access to rigorous college-prep courses, according to a sweeping study released on Tuesday by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights.

The trove of data, collected from 72,000 schools serving 85 percent of the nation's students, revealed tremendous disparities in the public school experiences of minority and white students.

As one who was there when the bussing began our Jr High was turned upside down from the infusion of yute from across town. A few wanted to study but the rest only wanted to disrupt the classes. Or start fights. And woe be unto those that got in the way of the stampede when the lunch bell rang.

[manc]

and does it state that in the schools where my kids have gone that the blacks are the ones who for the most part are causing the trouble, very disrespectful and are causing trouble.

This is not about color this is about the black community and the problems they have.

Still saying that can be classed as racist to the left wing kooks too because facts hurt their feelings

[manc]

no they go to the black colleges which discriminate against whites and Asians, I’m sure those same blacks can go there, sit there, listen to I pods all day and leave with a degree.

Then they can go to a hospital, get a job as a nurse etc and then when the hospital finds that the degree was useless, the person has no clue what they’re doing they can’t be fired

[LibLieSlayer]

Same as it ever was...

[Venturer]

This could have been written 40 years ago.

They have been screaming this crap for 40 years or more.

They get disciplined more in schools for the same reason there are more of them in prison. They are the ones breaking the rules.

It’s just that simple.

Black and Latino students across the United States are far more likely to be suspended than white students

And far more likely to be trouble-makers and violent.

[manc]

funny how they always leave the real facts out of their stories.

Having seen and heard from my kids then I can honestly say the black community has massive problems .

Even my kids and their friends have said the biggest trouble makers in their schools are the blacks, the most likely who will be in trouble is mostly blacks and who just mess about and who think school is a joke are mostly blacks.

That is racist to the left wing kooks out there but facts are facts and their social issues have caused nothing but more trouble and to think there are now some on our side saying social issues should be ignored so long as there is money in the pockets.

Negro and latino students across the United States require far more discipline that white students, according to my data.

I was there, too. Before bussing, nothing every happened at our school After bussing, they locked us in our classrooms and pulled down those big metal gates in the hallways and you didn't want to get caught in the stairwells. Yes, totally against fire rules but it was to keep down the violence. Big surprise, my family moved the following year.

Black and Latino students across the United States are far more likely to be suspended than white students...

What do you expect when "acting white" is a pejorative in black and latino societies?

[BTCM]

Simply watch the local news.

[norwaypinesavage]

I have a simple solution for this problem. Simply confer a Juris Doctorate upon these oppressed people from Harvard Law School, based solely on the color of their skin. Then, who knows, someday they could even be President!

In the early 1970s’ blacks were bussed to my elementary school. One black boy would continually molest me and other second graders by rubbing his crotch against our backsides. He would push us down on the playground and lay on top of us- no doubt in simulation of what he saw at home. Another boy would expose himself to everyone and anyone. Not much could be done about it. Oh, and keep your lunch close by. They would steal your lunch and eat it in the coat closet and you would be without.
Also, the entire ‘remedial class’ was black. I was in gifted and talented classes - we were given books to read and left alone while the teacher’s attention was given to the ‘remedial’ students for entire classes.

Wonder what those two black angels were thinking when they doused that 13 year old white boy with gasoline and setting him on fire.

Just poor wittle chilrun.

—Racial divide: Minority students face more discipline, data reveals—

That’s nothing! Just compare the ratio of Male students to female students! That’s the real discrimination.

Then again, maybe male students just do more things that call for discipline than female students.

If you get my drift...

[sphinx]

I think this study should be taken at face value. The public education system clearly is irremediably racist and should be abolished. Vouchers are the only practicable remedy.

[Little Ray]

C’mon folks. This is just part of the MSM’s Obama support agenda.
Since minority children (except, I bet, for Asians...) face more discipline, this must STILL be a racist country - Re-elect Obama and assuage your racist guilt...

[manc]

yep their forced integration and busing has really worked, is that what they’re saying
