Obama’s Deadly School Discipline Policy

There are many news stories squandered by CNN, The New York Times, Washington Post, MSNBC, and even FOX News. Many of these stories are easy to find. However, the narrative-driven media are too busy trying to topple the Trump administration and undo the 2016 election. So while all the invented drama of the impeachment hearings are clogging up the 24-hour news cycles, a comprehensive study on school shootings published by the U.S. Secret Service never sees the light of day.

Why? Because the study discovered some inconvenient truths for gun control advocates, specifically how to reduce and prevent school shootings. What is not surprising is that the study found that most students who committed these deadly shootings had a history of disciplinary trouble--their behavior disturbed others but was never reported. It also determined school shootings “are not sudden, impulsive acts where a student gets disgruntled,” and “the majority of these incidents are preventable.” In other words, the system was blinking red, and little was done about it. The report’s conclusion says that schools may need to think differently about school discipline and intervention.

Why does this matter? Remember in 2011, when Barack Obama and his Department of Education were on a socially engineered crusade to artificially manufacture public school safety through race politics? Recall they launched their Supportive School Discipline Initiative that was championed as a national model for discipline reform. Yet, this misguided intervention into local school policy is why the Department of Education should be shut down. Through forced compliance to receive federal funding, this junk science kept many miscreants in the school instead of finding an alternative placement somewhere else and an effective tracking system. States also followed by revising their laws to reduce suspensions and expulsions.

There is a certain group of “teens” that do not respond well to organized education or organized anything for that matter. They barely speak intelligent recognizable English preferring some colloquial street Ebonics. They are viscously racist and have no plan to contribute to society other than in some illicit manner. Their apparel and hygiene habits are truly deplorable. They cause nearly continuous disruption and behave with indignation and apathy towards anyone in authority. They are given the benefit of every doubt, administrators are told to leave them alone and not report the episodes of poor behavior and criminal activity so, per Obama, the statistics do not look so incriminating toward them. Truth, and everyone backs away from it afraid to be branded by the mob.

You are absolutely correct in your analysis. The local school system has its hands tied because of it can not afford to fight the power of the Federal Government and its unlimited resources.

everything that Obama did turned into failures. His whole legacy is a failure.
