Although students with disabilities make up 12 percent of U.S. students, they are 19 percent of students who are suspended and almost a quarter of those getting a school-related arrest. …Funny how there is absolutely no definition offered for “students with disabilities”. I have never seen any students with what I understood to be disabilities at greater risk of being disciplined or arrested for any reason. The ones that got arrested were those that sold drugs, were violent or engaged in other criminal activity.
“The ones that got arrested were those that sold drugs, were violent or engaged in other criminal activity. “
That’s what they mean by disabled.
At first blush I’m thinking “why would kids in wheel chairs or with other physical ailments get in trouble more”?
But no. They mean sociopaths who have been designated to be dyslexic, or have ADD or some such broadly defined subjective “disability”.
I think they are calling bi polar or something like that a disability.
We had a girl in a wheel chair at our school, she sure wasn’t causing problems or getting arrested.
The word for the “disabled” when I was in school was “Trog” which was short for “Troglodyte”. We learned the term when busing started. The kids in the housing projects taught it to us.
Basically, they are only smart enough to throw a punch, steal money or use a knife.
