Race-based discipline in Tucson schools

    Tucson schools create race-based system of discipline
    by Doug MacEachern – Sept. 19, 2009 08:22 PM
    The Arizona Republic

    …The board is calling for a two-tiered form of student discipline. One for Black and Hispanic students; one for everyone else.

    With the goal of creating a “restorative school culture and climate” that conveys a “sense of belonging to all students,” the board is insisting that its schools reduce its suspensions and/or expulsions of minority students to the point that the data reflect “no ethnic/racial disparities.”

    From the section of the 52-page plan titled “Restorative School Culture and Climate,” subhead, “Discipline”:

    “School data that show disparities in suspension/expulsion rates will be examined in detail for root causes. Special attention will be dedicated to data regarding African-American and Hispanic students.”

    The board approved creating an “Equity Team” that will oversee the plan to ensure “a commitment to social justice for all students.”

    The happy-face edu-speak notwithstanding, what the Tucson Unified School District board of governors has approved this summer is a race-based system of
    discipline.

    Offenses by students will be judged, and penalties meted out, depending on the student’s hue.

Exit Question: How long before MSNBC(D) decides to cover this story?

Two steps forward and three steps back.

The line your looking for is.  "please, please sue us for civil rights violations, we like getting bent over."

Yea, but it is the whites that are getting screwed, and the courts won't ever consider that racism or descrimination

Ah, not so, they were dumb enough to put it writeing. Also, its not distributing good things, like say scholarships but adminstering punishment. If I were feeling charitable, I'd send those guys a box of condoms, because they will need them.
WTF???

 No wonder the majority of crimes are committed by blacks and Hispanics.

Why do school boards, across the country, continue to put themselves on the slippery slope.

Scenario:

White kid gets in a fight, Suspended 10 days, possibly expelled, maybe even arrested. Civil suit pending for med bills to other kid.
Black kid gets in a fight, Gets extra counseling and a writing assignment on the merits of non-violence.
Hispanic kid gets in a fight, Gets 3 days suspension, counseling, and writing assignment on how people can be nice to each other..
**can be written in his native language, if his English is not that good.

I would bang my head on my desk, but I'm too tired today....
