there are five time more blacks in the DC school districts . Even if you expelled all the whites, more blacks would be expelled.
Perhaps its because the blacks are slow learners who have yet to realize what the purpose of suspension really is. Apparently the white kids “get it” and change their ways.
Then add in the difference in numbers of blacks versus whites as has been previously stated.

Fwiw, this story refers to area-wide statistics. As to race: the DC suburbs are majority white. The District itself, which constitutes about 20% of the metro area, is rapidly gentrifying and is probably going to tip majority white in the next 20 years as lower income folks are pushed out by rising housing prices. There are an increasing number of DC public schools — still a minority, but the number is growing — that are highly regarded. The city is changing, despite our current unfortunate mayor, who represents the (hopefully) last hurrah of the old guard.
“The ethnic breakdown of students enrolled is 84.4% African American, 9.4% Hispanic or Latino, 4.6% Caucasian, and 1.6% Asian. The District itself has a Caucasian population of 33%, African American population of 53% and Hispanic or Latino population of 9%.[4]” Wikipedia
.844 blacks/.046 whites = 18.3/1 ratio of black to white
.844 blacks/.156 other = 5.4/1 ratio of black to other.
No the Obama childern are not counted in the above data, they go to private schools.
Indeed...
So if 80% of the students were black and 80% of the discipline problems were from blacks -
It always has to be a racial thing - that argument has long passed its prime. Time to begin taking care of your own versus blaming whitey for your demise.
