A group of leaders of conservative research centers on Tuesday called on Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos to rescind a controversial Obama-era school discipline policy, saying it violates federal law.
The policy, first implemented by a "dear colleague" letter in 2014, sought to reduce preexisting racial disparities in how discipline was being handed out in America’s public schools. The DOE promised to interpret a racially disparate impact of suspensions as discrimination, even in the absence of evidence of discriminatory intent.
The racial gap in suspensions began to decline in response, as did the number of suspensions overall. An analysis of Wisconsin public schools from the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty—whose president, Rick Esenberg, is a signatory of the letter to DeVos—found that the policy was not always successful and sometimes frustrated teachers, who felt that it curtailed their ability to effectively discipline their classes.

It essentially gave thugs in school a free pass by pretending that they were disciplined more frequently than non thugs...which was true because they committed more offenses...just like the criminal justice system in real life!
ReplyDeleteIt was part of the “Order out of Chaos” agenda for the elites. Create chaos, then provide order. The goal is tyrannical dictatorial Government through Statutory Law.
ReplyDeleteI thought it had been done. If she hasn't done so by now, never will.
ReplyDeleteThat's when school rapes started
ReplyDeleteThat's the problem. Obama removed any discipline policy.

ReplyDeleteBingo! Disorderly students are not interested in achieving, and they disrupt kids who are. The relatively small number of them consume an enormous amount of administrator time and other scarce resources. If they can't get it together they need a more closely monitored school environment to learn in.
