California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) is poised to sign a bill into law that would prohibit both traditional public and charter schools in the state from suspending students in grades K-8 for willfully defiant behavior.
Senate Bill 419 intends to address racial disparities in school discipline.
The Sacramento Bee reported:
Students of color are disproportionately suspended for unruly behavior in California schools. Black students made up just 5.6 percent of the total enrollment for academic year 2017-18, yet accounted for 15.6 percent of total suspensions for willful defiance, according to the education department.
By contrast, white students made up 23.2 percent of total enrollment and accounted for 20.2 percent of suspensions for willful defiance.
These particular kinds of suspension are being used to harm young people and especially black people in particular, said David Turner, with the Brothers, Sons, Selves Coalition, part of the Alliance for Boys and Men of Color, which cosponsored the bill.
When we talk about racial equity, this bill is racial equity, he said.
Turner said that when his group helped to implement Los Angeles Unified School Districts (LAUSD) ban on willful defiance suspensions for students in all grades, the number of suspensions fell, and the number of students who graduated rose.
The Bee reported the California Department of Education says school suspensions for disruptive behavior have decreased substantially since an initial ban was enacted in 2015.

The legislation would expand the existing law that bans suspensions for willful defiance by students in grades K-3.
Instead of suspending students who are disruptive, the measure urges schools to use restorative justice practices, trauma-informed practices, social and emotional learning, and schoolwide positive behavior interventions and support to manage behaviors that are disturbing to classrooms and the school community.

Insanity
Another great idea from the tomorrow state!
“White students made up 23.2 percent of total enrollment”
Mexifornia has been established.
And coming soon to a state dear to your heart. CA leads the way.
Nothing Democrats do makes any sense at all.
You man kinda like the treatment that Nikolas Cruz got from the “powers that be” at Stoneman Douglas High School????
man=mean
My guess is this type of behavior will not fly in the Mexican education system.
Only in California will bad behavior be rewarded. /#sad_Day
“Turner said that when his group helped to implement Los Angeles Unified School Districts (LAUSD) ban on willful defiance suspensions for students in all grades, the number of suspensions fell,”
Gee, and I wonder how more violent those schools got when the kids knew that they could get away with more deviant behaviour?
In December 2007, Newsom and Siebel announced their engagement,[118][119] and they were married in Stevensville, Montana in July 2008.[120] In September 2009, Siebel gave birth to a girl, Montana Tessa Newsom.[121]
Siebel gave birth to a son, Hunter Siebel Newsom, on June 12, 2011, their daughter Brooklynn on July 3, 2013,[122] and on February 26, 2016, the Newsoms announced the birth of second son, Dutch.[123] In 2012, Newsom and his family moved out of San Francisco and bought a house in Kentfield, California, in Marin County.[124]

betcha this sleezeball's kids will not be attending one of the public "schools".
I remain in California for now.
Would not raise children here.
Okay on second thought...
“Instead of suspending students who are disruptive, the measure urges schools to use restorative justice practices, trauma-informed practices, social and emotional learning, and schoolwide positive behavior interventions and support to manage behaviors that are disturbing to classrooms and the school community.”
It’s sad that the government has to do this. This role belongs to parents and churches. And it’s really annoying that the Christian religion is BANNED in America’s public schools. A freeper pointed out to me the other day that in AFRICAN countries, for example, religion class is part of the PUBLIC school curriculum.
Better to raise children in Africa at this point.
THAT will make Public Schools pretty much of a wrap.
“Instead of suspending students who are disruptive, the measure urges schools to use restorative justice practices, trauma-informed practices, social and emotional learning, and schoolwide positive behavior interventions and support to manage behaviors that are disturbing to classrooms and the school community.”
I was immediately reminded of this:
Social Justice: Replacing what works, with what sounds good.
Thomas Sowell.
You are NEVER going to fix the problems in the black community if you refuse to admit the true causes. Lesson 1, the problem is NOT racism. Disparity in punishment reflects the disparity in bad behavior. The bad behavior reflects dysfunctional family structure. The dysfunctional family structure is the result of DemocRATS “helping” black families by replacing fathers with welfare checks.
Insane. Never, never, never ever sent your children to public screwl. Whatever you do never send them to public screwl. Educate them at home.
That worked out well for Parkland.
beyond stupid, imbecile level intelligence, zero common sense
