"Black students are nearly seven times more likely to be suspended than their white peers, the
report found. More than 10 percent of black students in the city’s schools were suspended at least
once, compared with fewer than 1 percent of white students."

I'm sure that this is all due to racial bias on the part of the union teachers in DC, but do they
really think this will help the discipline problems. All it will do is keep the troublemakers in the
classroom interfering even more with what learning may take place.

Unreal.

The real problem is we have nothing between "kicked out of school" and
prison. When they try to address the issue the demographics are so
slanted that it gets called discrimination.
Montgomery County even tried to throw more money at the problem and
create special education programs for "at risk" students but they got
sued over it because of the racial makeup of the classes.
So we will continue to have a mostly black prison population and
grinding poverty in that community just to be "fair".
