the White HouseShouldn't this be considered a racist phrase? When will it be banned?
Six members of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission have recommended to the White House and Congress the continuation of Obama-era race-based school discipline practices that employ leniency for students of color and other minority groups.
... following a federal school safety commission report that found the race-based student discipline practices “may have paradoxically contributed to making schools less safe.”
I feel bad for the ghetto kids, and do truly wish to help them. But, some policies are just stupid. If you give a child a free pass on misbehavior, what will happen when they turn 18 when their free pass runs out? Prison is what happens. And in the mean time, they run around in violent gangs.
I guaran fuckin tee that people were screaming at them, telling them that this is exactly what would happen before they enacted that new policy. Ya, lets stop punishing certain kids' unruly behavior, instead giving them an misbehavior exemption.
The Bullet doesn't give two Shits about Obama's policy of race hustling.

Six members of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission have recommended to the White House and Congress the continuation of Obama-era race-based school discipline practices that employ leniency for students of color and other minority groups.
The commission’s report, titled “Beyond Suspensions: Examining School Discipline Policies and Connections to the School-to-Prison Pipeline for Students of Color with Disabilities,” states, “[D]ata have consistently shown that the overrepresentation of students of color in school discipline rates is not due to higher rates of misbehavior by these students, but instead is driven by structural and systemic factors,” such as institutional racism.
According to the report:
When schools use exclusionary discipline as a way to punish a student, students not only miss valuable instruction time, but they also lose a sense of belonging and engagement in school. Students can begin to feel like they are not valued and lose interest in their education. These feelings can be compounded when schools send the message that they are singling out students because of the students’ race, ethnicity, national origin, and/or disability.
In a letter sent to President Donald Trump, Vice President Mike Pence, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Catherine Lhamon, an Obama-era appointee and chair of the commission, wrote its investigation into school discipline practices suggests “students of color with disabilities face exclusionary discipline pushing them into the school-to-prison pipeline at much higher rates than their peers without disabilities.”
The Trump administration revoked the Obama administration’s 2014 “Dear Colleague” letter in December, following a federal school safety commission report that found the race-based student discipline practices “may have paradoxically contributed to making schools less safe.”
The commission’s report is released as the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) has issued its report indicating a rise in serious incidents of violence in the nation’s public schools.
