18. PNW - IF the video is true - it absolutely is

I'm surprised you aren't aware of the statistics and realities of this???

• Black students make up just 18 percent of children in U.S. preschools, but make up half of those youngsters who are suspended.
• Black boys receive two-thirds of all school suspensions nationwide – all demographics and both genders considered.
• In Chicago, 75 percent of all students arrested in public schools are Black.

Also troubling is the fact that not all of the Black boys taken from their schools in handcuffs are violent, or even criminals. Increasingly, school-assigned law enforcement officers are leading these students from their schools hallways for minor offenses, including class disruption, tardiness and even non-violent arguments with other students. It seems that it is easier to remove these students from class through the stigma of suspension or arrest than to look for in-school solutions.

Black kids are way more likely to be punished in school than white kids, study finds

Whether and how a child is punished for acting up in school could depend on his race, a new report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) found.

The report found that black students in K-12 schools are far more likely to be disciplined — whether through suspension or referral to law enforcement — than their counterparts of other races.

This chart shows the topline finding, demonstrating that black children are overrepresented based on their actual population in the student body:

In Both Rich And Poor Schools, Black Students Face Harsher Punishments

The Education Department data analyzed in this report is from the 2013-2014 school year, and reveals deep discipline disparities across student groups ― the very problem the guidance is intended to address. Independent of school poverty level, type of public school or type of disciplinary action, boys, students with disabilities, and black students are being punished at far higher rates than other students.

For black students, these inequities start as early as preschool.

This is the first such analysis to explicitly compare schools at different poverty levels. In high-poverty schools, black students are overrepresented among students who receive suspensions by 25 percentage points, and in more affluent schools, they are overrepresented by 12 points, the data shows. Students with disabilities face similar problems.

In affluent schools, students with disabilities are overrepresented among students who receive suspensions by 20 points, while in low-income schools, they are overrepresented by nearly 11 points.

So I guess I don't understand what your one or two mean white boys in your grade school have to do with the reality that black children face in America. It's not just black boys - it's black girls.

You CERTAIN you want to go down this path with me in this group?

The fact that you didn't automatically know this as a common known natural fact tells me you have a lot to learn.


I guess - why can't white folks just let black folks have 'moments'?

Why must they ALWAYS insist that race isn't important - when black folks pull ahead.

Why doesn't it always go to - well this white boy in school blah blah blah.
