“Black and brown students are being disproportionately punished compared to their white classmates”
Well, maybe “black and brown” students are disproportionately delinquent?
Maybe teachers are trying to keep them from becoming delinquent?
That's racist.
Dallas announced they will be doing the same. Seems to me that the Non Black or Brown kids need to start behaving like hoodlums to flatten the bell curve. It’s Whitey’s fault.
Black and brown students disproportionately don’t have a father in the household to provide discipline at home.
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.
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.
Lowering the bar not for equal opportunity but equal outcomes.
You're right. AND we need to stand up and say it...loud and clear..
How are they going to solve the black family crisis?
