I am very curious as to what a 4- or 5-year-old would do, that would result in suspension. I doubt it has to do with “zero tolerance”.
We used to have corporal punishment in schools. If you got a whipping at school, you knew you were gonna get another when you got home. Double reinforcement......................
There is one evil cause for this and I blame LBJ. What you subsidize, you get more of.
He was the one who starting paying low income mothers to NOT GET MARRIED. In my area we have plenty of whites doing it, also. They will freely tell you they aren’t marrying their baby’s fathers so they get more money from the government. The schools are disastrous. I am firmly convinced the moment you take the father’s out of the home, at a very deep level the child starts to feel a deep deprivation and a loss of security.
These poor kids have hurdles to overcome from they day they are born with a stable Dad. Any rational society will see and target that, but we’ve lost our brains, haven’t we?
What’s the statistic ... 75% of Black children are born into a single parent home environment?
Mrs BN used to teach 4 year olds. Whenever they had an unruly kid in another class (including one who was being taught by his own mother - go figure), they would move that child to my wife’s class. Within a few weeks she usually had the kid straightened out.
I call Mrs BN, “SHE WHO MUST BE OBEYED!” (spoken in my best Godzilla film narrator voice)
[Hey, she keeps me in line - :-) ]
Disproportionate - illegitimacy rate, shooting rate, dropout rate, crime rate, illiteracy rate, AIDS rate.
No correlation, certainly. None of it possibly their doing.
The money quote.
And there's the rub. The idiot can't fathom that kids (actually, their families) might NOT value education and might NOT care about school. And, they act accordingly.
It's a hard concept for me to grasp as well....that an entire culture has set such low expectations for itself, then has that soft racism reinforced by liberalism in its entirety.
Well since the government schools are totally run by RATs; logic demands the RATs are deliberatly descriminating against them, denying them an education, forcing them into the prison system, and perpetuating the RAT legacy of RAT enslavement of colored people.
“The data doesn’t explain why the disparities exist “
Wrong. No one dares say that the kids misbehave more than their lighter-skinned counterparts.
"You can't go to school because you keep doing bad things. Stop doing bad things, and you can go to school."
There.
A good question is what behavior results in suspension of a preschooler?
I suspect the answer can be found in either a complete lack of home discipline, coupled with neglect; or in chemically induced brain damage; or a combination of both.
Ignoring race entirely, I suspect there is a spectrum of misbehavior, and only “likely to result in physical harm to others” can result in suspension. All other behavior problems can be dealt with by a teacher, but if a student is persistent in trying to hurt other students, the other students need to be protected from them.
Many will call this racism, but in fact, the problem lies in their family life - or the lack of family life.
72% of new born black children are born to single mothers, per recent survey. And that is both tragic and scary.
Maybe Holder will ask the DC school principal why she suspends more blacks than others. The leadership of the DC schools is black. The majority of teachers is black. The majority of students is black.
They are clearly all racists!
A higher percentage of black children don't know the names of colors when they enter kindergarten too. And NO it doesn't cost a fortune to teach your child the difference between red and green.
This ‘study’ is an extension of the nonstop pity party blacks engage in... egged on by white liberal elites who benefit from black rage... it's stupid.
On my first day of kindergarten a black girl stabbed me with a pencil on my right thigh. The teacher said she didn’t do it on purpose but she was moved to another table. Even at age 5 I knew this was BS and she meant to hurt me.
I did get revenge on the last day of 1st grade. Her desk was in front of mine. She had braids with those little plastic hair clips. Lets just say she was missing a few of the back braids when she got home. I actually kept them for a few years.
