Board members of California's Oakland Unified School District unanimously voted on Wednesday to cease suspending students for what they call "willful defiance." Those behaviors can include swearing/yelling at teachers, refusing direct orders, texting, and storming out of class, to name a few.
The reason? Concern that too many black students are being suspended for willful defiance.
One sophomore student, Dan'enicole Williams, told the San Francisco Gate, "They never take time out, if someone is sleeping in class, to ask what’s wrong. They may be acting that way because they didn’t eat the night before.”
"We’re getting pushed out of schools,” she added. “They don’t care about us.”
Along with suspensions, the new policy will also include bans on expulsions and transfers of students to other schools for multiple infractions.
According to the SFGate, the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights has been investigating Oakland schools' "disproportionate suspensions" for several years. The district signed a voluntary agreement in 2012 that brought in Manhood Development classes for black males to address behavior issues and to begin discussions on "restorative justice." These programs, dubbed "alternative discipline," can cost districts upwards of $2.3 million dollars per school year.
Vowing to cover those costs in his 2015-2016 budget, Superintendent Antwan Wilson said, “This is about reintegrating students into the classroom rather than excluding them from learning."

Most of them aren’t learning anything positive, they’re just taking up space until they can breed, rap and elect democrats..

Minor? You are kidding, right?
Start acting like you care about yourself and all that will change, sweetheart. It's magic.
Back when I was a kid, CA schools used corporal punishment.
I never liked the idea... but I’m beginning to change my mind on it. If those kids disrupting the class were subjected to corporal punishment instead of suspension, perhaps their behavior would improve a bit.
What kind of punishment is suspension, anyway? The kid doesn’t want to go to school, so you punish him by not allowing him to go??? It seems more like a reward to me.
When there is no consequences in a home growing up there will never be. Here is where society has to put up with thier misbehavior as adults. They cantget thier house in order so its our fault but dont dare try to correct it or even mention it
In a related story, the government announces that earned income of workers will not be paid to them as they are earning more than those who do not work.
He had singled me out again. “Suppose you merely scolded your puppy, never punished him, let him go on making messes in the house ... and occasionally locked him up in an outbuilding but soon let him back into the house with a warning not to do it again. Then one day you notice that he is now a grown dog and still not housebroken — whereupon you whip out a gun and shoot him dead. Comment, please?”
“Why ... that’s the craziest way to raise a dog I ever heard of!”
“I agree. Or a child. Whose fault would it be?”
“Uh ... why, mine, I guess.”
“Again I agree. But I’m not guessing.”
“Mr. Dubois,” a girl blurted out, “but why? Why didn’t they spank little kids when they needed it and use a good dose of the strap on any older ones who deserved it — the sort of lesson they wouldn’t forget! I mean ones who did things really bad. Why not?”
“I don’t know,” he had answered grimly, “except that the time-tested method of instilling social virtue and respect for law in the minds of the young did not appeal to a pre-scientific pseudo-professional class who called themselves ‘social workers’ or sometimes ‘child psychologists.’ It was too simple for them, apparently, since anybody could do it, using only the patience and firmness needed in training a puppy. I have sometimes wondered if they cherished a vested interest in disorder — but that is unlikely; adults almost always act from conscious ‘highest motives’ no matter what their behavior.”

The one thing that’ll solve this problem is to fill the schools with hardened, former Marines to be the teachers, principals, and other staff. Those students wouldn’t last a day there!
Segregation? Yep, it was once forced then it became what the press calls white flight. Civilized people avoid the uncivilized, imagine that.
Dan’enicole and Shanaynay say you racis and to stay away fum Johntavius.
“Alternative discipline”?
In a real world that is devoid of proggs alternative discipline would be real discipline. Alternative discipline would be much more harsh than discipline. Something like the muzzies do such as stoning or beheading. To me those are alternatives.
There was a time when students were grouped within a grade depending on standardized test rankings and grades. Those most bent on academic achievement were grouped together, as were those least so inclined or able.
Someone decided that was demeaning or something and mixed the students up in the groups so none would be 'left behind' or some such.
One problem student can sufficiently disrupt a classroom that the education part doesn't happen for the rest.
Welcome the Black Spring, better known as Zulu Dawn.
As the last real President, Eisenhower, said "School integration will lead to social disintegration.... unless we handle it properly." Political Correctness means WE have to always say we are sorry for causing the outrageous behavior accepted in the Negro community.
Why can’t blacks be expected to follow rules and laws?
Too many are in jail too. I think things will get much better if no blacks are ever punished for anything.
Only recently have I learned that every murder, every rape, every robbery, every war, in the history that was committed was because of White Privilege and was George Bush's fault. George Bush I know about, but I have yet to know what White Privilege.
In closing, I am heading toward 74 years old and boy am I glad. My time on earth is short at the longest. As Phil Robertson says, "You young bucks" are in for a rough ride because more and more of the people who implement the policies this thread is about will be running more and more of the Country.
