[2ndDivisionVet]

Travis L. Gosa, Ph.D., is assistant professor of Africana Studies at Cornell University, where his research focuses on racial inequality and African-American youths.

Makes me wonder if he ever stepped foot in a Title I school

[ClearCase_guy]

It’s because black parenting is sub-standard. Don’t go blaming me.

[17th Miss Regt]

Disparities in school discipline cannot be explained by the behavior of black children, or black boys in particular.

Only an academic, and a Cornell one at that, could believe something so idiotic.

[MeshugeMikey]

"where his research focuses on racial inequality and African-American youths." to the exclusion of EVERYTHING else! "In addition to the “weak impulse control” of black people, the author blames single black mothers, absentee black fathers, and the “civil rights industry.”" OH REALLY?? given that the above is a RECIPE for chaos...what DOES Travis EXPECT??

[corlorde]

Breakdown of the family due to liberalism and over dependency of the state (cradle to incarceration care).

[17th Miss Regt]

Of course, parents must remain the first and last line of defense by continuing to demand that all children are afforded basic civil rights throughout the entire schooling process.

Not by good parenting but by demanding that their little thugs are afforded basic civil rights throughout the entire schooling process.

[A_perfect_lady]

He is naïve.

[laweeks]

Wonder why there’s a problem with little black boys.

Howzabout’ 1) over 75% illigitimacy problem in black community (during WWII, it was 7%, lower than whites), 2) mostly female union member teachers who’d much rather deal with girls than boys, 3) baby-mommas having numerous boyfriends exposed to the little boys and totally confusing the little guys as to what roll is he to play as he gets older, 4) (fill in the blank)

[Spok]

But the ACLU claims blacks are disproportionately incarcerated because of racist cops, prosecutors and juries. One of the wonderful attributes of liberals is situational reality-the truth is whatever serves the cause du jour. Never mind what they said five minutes ago.

[DeWalt]

This must be his thesis. Wait until he gets a real job in a school with blacks.

[A_perfect_lady]

I will add that I work in a school district that is 96% Latino. The few black students we have are there because, as they tell me themselves, their parents did not want them going to school in their own neighborhood. That says it all.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

What we need is all black schools where all the students, faculty and staff are black.

Then everything will be fine and all the students will become Rhodes scholars.

When minorities finally understand why liberals situate their abortion clinics in minority neighborhoods and why liberals send their own kids to good private schools but force minorities into urban , union controlled cesspools, then they may begin to vote appropriately and things might change.

[DJ Taylor]

I think he’s suggesting we apply Affirmative Action to children’s class room conduct.

[Beagle8U]

“Closing the preschool-to-prison pipeline will require abandoning “get tough” school rules and challenging those politicians and media moguls who profit from the myth of black criminality.”

Well...there you have it, the crime stats are a myth. Everyone can join the author in a stroll through the ghetto tonight.

I can’t make it, so somebody please tape it for me.

[ConservativeInPA]

Liberal values (lack of values), multiculturalism, no fathers and current black culture create the pipeline to prisons. Here is a video of an event sponsored by Linda Thompson, Mayor of Harrisburg, PA at the time. It is child abuse the things they teach these yuts.

Note the lack of American culture.

[Elsiejay]

A pervasive lack of stable, consistent male guidance, while being “raised” by one’s maternal grandmother, she also very likely sans husband, has far-reaching socio-cultural consequences.

This socio-pathology is becoming prevalent also among Americans of Caucasian racial derivation, childbearing and rearing by unmarried women becoming normative. However, poverty seems not presently “normative” among these “determined to be husbandless and self-sufficient” women.
IMO

[pallis]

We need a different system, one that intimidates teachers out of expelling black students for breaking the rules, and distracting classes to make the educational experience equally useless for all kids.

Hire all black teachers where there are large populations of blacks. That should fix the problem. Let the white, Hispanic and Oriental teachers go to the suburbs and rural communities where they will have to put up with white kids.

Let intelligent parents homeschool.

[rbg81]

Yes, of course. The only possible reason for these disciplinary problems are racism. That, and UFOs.
