Sorry, as a long-time high school teacher, this has been going on in the high schools for awhile. Just google PBiS. It may not say so but it is aimed at white teachers to learn how to deal with minority students and what constitutes a punishment.

I remember a situation at my son's school that reinforces your warning. This 15 years old black male, still in eighth grade, was chronically abusive, disruptive, and violent. Parents complained, teachers wrote up reams of disciplinary referrals and the administration refused to expel him.

Instead he was assigned his own personal anger management counselor, enrolled in a program called WRAP and was actually allowed to leave the classroom any time he felt he needed to "deal with his anger."

One day in class he became enraged when the teacher asked him to return to his seat. He cursed her out and when she sent a student to get the principal he picked up an overhead projector and threw it. It narrowly missed the teacher and landed at my son's feet.

I went to the principal and told him I was prepared to press criminal charges if something was not done. It took an incident of this magnitude to get this kid expelled and ultimately transferred to an alternative school.

I have my students. You disrupt the class - you’re out. How hard is this? Don’t care if you’re a minority.
