'There you go again. Disproportionate numbers in relation to the population don't mean a thing in and of themselves. Blacks are far, far more representative in the National Basketball League than their population proportions, but reasonable people don't go around claiming that there is a racial bias in who get hired simply because there is a disproportionate number of Black players.
Did The Times ask about the reasons behind what this study found? Could it be that Blacks are more rebellious to school authorities? Or that "acting White" is consistent with good behavior so that those Black students who do exhibit good behavior are bullied because of it, and then exhibit less of it?'
Inconvenient fact alert...
75% of black kids live in families without fathers.
Perhaps they cause more trouble.
Just saying.
Urgent call for Mr Obvious.....
I’m sure you have not seen this yet so I hope you don’t mind be giving you a link which has the same subject.

The facts are ignored, from seeing this first hand to hearing my kids and their pals then it is the black community which has a big problem.
Blacks are upsetting classes, schools and groups for the most part where my kids go to , they are the ones who are disrespectful, starting trouble and thinking school is a joke.
—Black Students Face More Discipline, Data Suggests—
And male students face mre discipline than females.
So? Maybe the blacks and males should clean up their act.
Gee, I wonder why that is so? It couldn’t be because they misbehave at higher rates, because that would be racist. /s
I just had to look it up:
According to racial equality activist Richard Lapchick, the NBA in 2011 was composed of 83 percent players of color, including 78 percent black players, four percent Latino players, and one percent Asian players; 17 percent of the players were white.
Hall of Fame player and Indiana Pacers president of basketball operations Larry Bird in 2004 stated that the league needed more white players since the league’s fans are mostly white. “And if you just had a couple of white guys in there, you might get them [the fans, not the guys] a little excited. But it is a black man’s game, and it will be forever. I mean, the greatest athletes in the world are African-American,” said Bird.

You know, when I taught at a 99% black high school, the majority of kids being punished WERE BLACK!
My school is 99% Latino, so I don’t have much personal experience in this matter. I will say that with the handful of black students I have had, the girls have been very good, but a few of the boys have been very, very uncooperative. And their demeanor is different than the Latino kids. Latino kids goof off and are sullen and downcast when they get into trouble. Black boys are more likely to try and stare you down in a most threatening manner. It may be all bravado, but they don’t realize how much it ramps up the tension in the confrontation. Most of the teachers are Latino with a sprinkling of whites and Asians, and none of us are terribly happy with an openly aggressive student.
Is it because they don’t behave?
In other news : It was found that black students were four and a half times as likely to act up and cause problems than their white peers.
Liberal logic = Any problem caused by any group of people that equal less than 50% of the population can be blamed on racism.
Should we have a 12% cap on the number of murders they are allowed to be convicted of?
Black women living in government housing, eating by using EBT, receiving welfare, using medicade, never having worked at any job, and being the 4th or 5th generation of this life style are destroying the future of all black people in the United States.
LBJ should be burning in everlasting hell for what he knowingly did to the black family.
The demonRATs planned the demise of the family, have supported gay "marriage" which is part of the communist plan in order to get the gummint more involved in our daily life.
I'll never go Galt, but I may go George Washington.
This all happened before. When the Left takes over in an aggressive way (manages to intimidate the people around them with their rage and threatening response to those who object) they use racial and sexual hate and division like a battering ram on American institutions. It is totally demoralizing.
They have made a lot of progress over the years in dismantling American society and institutions with this stragety of race lies, hate and blame. They have nothing but hate and injustice to replace what they demoralize and destroy.
Deeper injustice, violence and hate ensues. White people (especially heterosexual males and Christians)are always the devil that made the “victims” violent failures and so white males are targeted racially and sexually for legal, mental, social and physical abuse. This is the Left’s demanded “remedy” to “victimhood.”
C’mon folks. This is just part of the MSM’s Obama support agenda.
Since minority children (except, I bet, for Asians...) face more discipline, this must STILL be a racist country - Re-elect Obama and assuage your racist guilt...
This wasn’t happening that often to black kids in Beverly Hills. I think this is happening where the parents are messed up and passed up being messed up to the kids.
As a kicker, the last 20 years many lower economic parents have been drinking, doing pot in the name of libertarians and other drugs while pregnant and we have about 20% of the kids disabled due to that problem.
Bravo Sierra!
When I was in school, in addition to our white principal, we always had a black vice-principal whose job it was to dole out tit-for-tat suspensions to white kids, to make things “fair”. Has only gotten worse in the years since then.
