Broward County Likely ‘Inspiration’ for Obama School Discipline Policy to Report Fewer Arrests, Suspensions

The Broward County school district’s adoption of a school discipline policy that was praised by the Obama administration for seeking to reduce the reported number of school suspensions, expulsions, and arrests may have played a role in the fact that Nikolas Cruz remained under the radar until his shooting rampage in Parkland, Florida, on February 14.

“The facts pattern that has emerged strongly suggests it played a role,” Manhattan Institute senior fellow Max Eden tells Breitbart News. “It’s not actually accurate to say that what Broward County did was the result of the Obama policy. It might be more accurate to say that what Broward County did was in some way the inspiration for Obama’s policy.”

The Obama-era Departments of Education and Justice – under education secretary Arne Duncan and Attorney General Eric Holder –issued school guidelines in 2014 that claimed students of color are “disproportionately impacted” by suspensions and expulsions, a situation they said leads to a “school-to-prison pipeline” that discriminates against minority and low-income students.

“Broward County was the first to have the goal of lowering suspensions, lowering expulsions, lowering arrests,” explains Eden. “And, so, they decided to reduce police involvement by not bringing in cops to arrest kids for a whole range of serious offenses, and then, as you would expect, the arrests go down when you stop arresting. That was taken to be a sign of success, based on that metric alone.”

Isn't this how Salisbury has gotten the crime rate down?

Brilliant.

I've been talking about this for years including on this blog. It was just another illusion created by the Kenyan Skid Mark to make himself look good. If you dared criticism his illusions the useless wastes of air who support him would call you a racist as if that means a thing anymore. Being called a racist anymore is a good thing. It means you are honest and dared to challenge the wastes of oxygen that support him.

It's hard to believe stuff like this can actually happen but it's true. It's called the Promise Program and was first tried in Chicago and then in Broward County. Thank you, Barack Obama!

Exactly how 9:33 and democrat voters being of a lower form of life as in intellectually inferior and void of all morals fall for the BS. That's why the sheriff had to change party affiliation. Republicans would not ever vote for him because they are superior in every way including not falling for his BS.

It is sickening to see the massive damage caused by the democrat ideology and the failed policies they have come up with to achieve social justice. And the main stream media (an extension of the DNC) covers for all of this. it’s 2018 and Obama is still telling people his 8 years was one of the only times in a long time that there were no major scandals and democrats being the worst humanity has to offer cheer him on. They are truly an uncivilized disgusting sub species of the human being.
