“Traayvon, you’ve been acting out too much. I have to send you to the principal’s office. And just to keep things even, ummmmm, I’m going to send, aaaaaahhhh, this time ... Cameron, I’ll think you’ll go along and take the punishment on behalf of the white people.”
Sounds like they are making a good case for complete racial segregation in public schools.
Its odd that disciple policies are apart of a union contract. It’s either an attempt by teachers to impose their ridiculous ideology on the school district or to be exempt from being blamed for chaotic classrooms that are sure to follow. I would bet the classrooms are a zoo already.
Portland the new home/headquarters of ISIS
Hmmm, ‘twould appear to me that the left has only one solution to every problem: Lower whatever standards are associated with that problem. They never have and never will come up with any workable solutions to anything. Whwn will we conclude that is is THEM that we cannot tolerate. And then do something about it?
School Superintendent says..."Our new policy will require that, when a student of color is suspended, we will also choose a random white student to suspend."
This is illegal, wrong and unconstitutional. But who’s going to arrest them and prosecute them? The “justice” system is as corrupt as the politicians who set up this madness.
Since schools receive their funding based on butts in seats, avoiding suspensions for bad behavior is in their financial interest. Throwing race into it is a way of sugarcoating the resulting chaos. Parents of kids who know how to behave and want to learn need to get their kids educated elsewhere since Portland and its teachers have declared that itheir prime concern is for the kids who disrupt the class.
As for “Students receiving special education services also bear the burden of disproportionate discipline.” This is nonsense. Special Ed students have IEPs (Individualized Educational Programs) which makes them virtually immune to any serious discipline without a semi-legal procedure where attorneys can be present. Special Ed kids are by federal law guaranteed an education, unlike say normal kids in the district.
What happens is the protected class get put on an IEP, and are not allowed to be disciplined. Then the non protected kids leave the district, and the district sues private schools for inequity.

In clear violation of the 14th amendment.
Oregon, of course it is, smh.
“Student behavior is a communication of unmet needs and makes sense when put in context. The disciplinary response process should be aimed at meeting these needs and create an environment that helps students find new ways to meet their needs,” it said.
If you would like more information about what’s happening in Oregon, please FReepmail me. Please send me your name by FReepmail if you want to be on this list.This has been going on for years and brown and white students have suffered.
called proportional punishment
When “Black, Native American, and other students of color” misbehave, they should be disciplined!
Anybody remember the “Content of Character” thingie?
