Because that would be racist. Errr...that's exactly what it is!

Minneapolis schools to make suspending children of color more difficult

Minneapolis public school officials are making dramatic changes to their discipline practices by requiring the superintendent’s office to review all suspensions of students of color.

The change comes amid intensifying scrutiny of the way Minneapolis public schools treat minority students and in the wake of new data showing black students are 10 times more likely to be sent home than white students.

Superintendent Bernadeia Johnson said she wants to “disrupt that in any way that I can.”

That's the Black kids get expelled more often so lets stop expelling them movement. Obama has talked about it. Of course it just will enable them to act out more

That is why TM was with his daddy instead of in Juvenile hall for a B and E. They hid the fact he got caught with stolen goods from a home burglary in his locker. direct order to lower the amount of AA kids from school who get turned over to the Po PO

If only you right wingers could read. You'd be much less outraged.

Far too often school ­officials are suspending students of color for a behavior that doesn’t lead to suspensions for white students...

You people get that? It's really not hard but I'm not sure that it'll sink in.

I could almost imagine stopping ALL expulsions, but only non-whites? Who can't see just how racist this is: not expecting everyone to live up to the same standards? I can hear MLK rolling over in his grave...

Obama has talked about it.

Didn't he name his little project something awful like "Brutha's keeper" or "Help a brutha out" or some such equally racist thing? How does he think that helps?

Are you surprised? It's the Hindenburg all over again! :rofl: :rofl:

Ahhh: he who posts mostly pictures. Thank you for your 'contribution' to the discussion.

No, I am not surprised at all. It's all outrage all the time.

That's always the solution when it comes to "minorities." Has to be racism bringing them down. What else could it be??? The answer always is to dumb down exams, allow (reverse) racist preferences, blame everyone else, and so forth.

Nothing like living up to society's low expectations.

Whatever happened to the nice man that said this? He was probably a racist. And this obviously doesn't apply to the O'bama era...

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character

Nothing like living up to society's low expectations.

Reminds me of a phrase I heard the other day: "Soft bigotry of low expectations". Seems fitting here.

[JohnR! 5,495]

True enough. What was I thinking?! :rofl: :rofl:

No, I am not surprised at all. It's all outrage all the time.

The failure of the family unit and lack of accountability

These students who are not given he punishment they deserve are learning that they can and do get away with a lot because they are black. They will keep escalating their bad behavior until they are violent criminals.

This job will become strictly about reviewing these cases because there are plenty occurring everyday.

In the end folks will want to loot and burn down the city because the only thing Deshawn learned is to disrespect authority. First in school then trying to assassinate a police officer.
