Wrong... there’s lots of middle-class decent conservative black citizens. Note: I did NOT say ‘Republican’... (even though one out of every six black men voted for Trump.)
Yes Indeed, for every black kid that gets in trouble, four white kids should get punished for it. That should even things out a bit. Progressive Socialist Liberal Common Sense 101
Black and brown students disproportionately don’t have a father in the household to provide discipline at home.
>Maybe he was a student at the Austin ISD who the schools shrugged off his violent behavior and let him get away with it?
This scenario is EXACTLY what happened with the Parkland shooter in South Florida. He was classified as Hispanic and everyone ignored dealing with a kid with violent tendencies and actions. There were may prior complaints, he was a known wolf.
Simply a license for undisciplined minorities with zero respect for authority to interfere with the educational process and intimidate actual students as well as educators. More black privilege because rules, laws and societal norms of behavior do not apply to them.
Folks don’t understand. Don’t you know that black kids can’t learn up the the white kid’s level? s/
Don’t you already have to have discipline in place before you can scale it back?
Ben,
What are you, a person asking pertinent questions or something? There should be a positive relationship between misbehavior and discipline. If whites and children of color misbehave at the same rate, but children of color are being punished much more frequently, then I see their point.
But if NOT, then they need to just shut up. One goal of public schooling should be the teaching of how to properly behave in public, in school, and in civilized society in general.
Also support puppies and ice cream followed by 2 hours of coddling.
Lowering the bar not for equal opportunity but equal outcomes.
I think the school district in my area north of Seattle is poised to do the same thing. I recently received a mailer in which the district outlined its new “anti-racism” program, and one of the bullet-points referred to a “review” of school disciplinary procedures to address “disproportionate” outcomes.
Are any schools implementing programs to eliminate racial disparities on their basketball and football teams?
You're right. AND we need to stand up and say it...loud and clear..
8 of my 12 years were spent in the Austin School District in the late fifties and sixties. Then, it was a very good school district. Now, it is just a day care for poor kids run by marxist/socialists, anti-patriot teachers. No one I know would even think of sending their kids to AISD.
This approach was tried in Minneapolis and/or St. Paul a few years ago. It didn’t end well. Btw, are the Asian minority students having disciplinary problems? This is just more “disparate impact” stupidity. They want a scapegoat for their problems of fatherlessness and the resulting thug culture.
If "white" students remain calm and attentive in class while "black and brown" students remain disruptive, then the school will have only two choices: 1) continue to discipline the disruptive students, or 2) ignore the disruption so as not to discipline "black and brown" students.
Choice #1 will be a status quo (with the exception that a new unrealistic policy is in place), and choice #2 will lead to more disruption and less control of the classroom (to the point that teachers speak out about the ineffective new policy).
An alternative choice #3 would be to discipline the entire class for the disruption of a known few students, but that would be the worst thing to do as the parents would certainly fight back.

Where is Kamala Harris and her root causes theme. Discipline ought to be tied to behavior and not race.
How are they going to solve the black family crisis?
No mention of where Asian kids are on this scale.
Once they can’t make certain students “get right”, nobody else will be in those schools. Even busing won’t work; it just creates black neighborhoods on BOTH ends of the bus route if left in place (because the destination schools outside the ‘hood become unusable to the local taxpayers that fund them).
