in new york times article
that uh... wrote about though racial disparity in school suspensions
and we also expected that this is thirty existed but on her own would eat meat brought about
was like the president
but the recent pressure
but it's totally for right
everyday suspended or same rescue must be rendered it's equal all over the place except
for middle schools
middle school has a very quality does not exist manifested ok okay so just to give you
a little more specifics about this that southern poverty law center but looked at four decades
worth of side data
from that at department of education ok and what they found is that up black students
black male students worth three times more likely to get suspended then white students
again and she said to be best for four decades so
all really not surprisingly it's not surprising except you would think that
as time progresses that number idly bills down a little bit of course if that's right
of course it does not palmetto
books exp twists and turns okay so what what happened to them
okay sally just to give you more information about it that hispanics and american indian
students in those schools were also more likely to become suspended
okay uh... but the only uh... race that was not suspended more than whites rations asians
waale uh... lee
believed like he did least likely to be suspect
that's interesting
so network
uh... is partly due to racial stereotypes
appalled but that's of course right
and goes to show you how powerful incident when you tell kids for nearly a
well you're the bad one oh you were suspended your this year that
that also seeps into that
right and it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy and i was another thing that was mentions
article that my found fascinating
okay or one thing that they found was and this is another recent study
uh... four hundred incarcerated high-school freshman baltimore found that two-thirds had
been suspended atleast once in middle school
and and i don't want to school also the fact that there are other factors right so if in
inner city maybe theres
in some schools not as much disciplined based on how the teachers and principals administrators
around the place
and in the overcompensate by suspending everybody that's kind of a lazy way of doing things
right it could be that in justin's culturally some of the matter
recent immigrants are taught to obeyed authority more addressing these are factors they are
i mean looking at those overwhelming numbers you think people stereotypes about race even
if it's a black person a little black school or latino principal of a latino school that
also is reality right you'd be able to play a factor come on with it's overwhelmed
it is all well being
another amazing fat in the study was that uh... black girls were four times more likely
to be suspended and white girls
four times more likely
come on amin what's arguably would be
they had a comment
reports a counterpoint right
to come on
great so went through what we're trying to tell you here's focus
not everything traces of course not right and in just because there is racism doesn't
mean that he's out there well there's racism in middle school so i give up by the serbs
serbs straw man argues but the same time understand people's context
sometimes is hard with everybody it seems your baby
problem or your uh... this year that men you get suspended a rate four times more than
other people do
you can can you see how that might create problems for him
that's *** and then plus you know
that falls you know high school that falls you take the apply for college
that is they used to say in school that's on your permit rock
temperature beds if there is a debate is a broker of record but that does fall yet it
makes it harder to succeed later
there's so many downsides to it
right and the reason why uh... the southern poverty law center focused on suspensions
rather then uh... expulsions is because missus pensions
uh... teachers and administrators can use their discretion cancel they have a lot more
flexibility when it comes to the reasons for suspending students west with the expulsion
it's usually the student brings a weapon or at does something dangerous or violent in
school
when she bezel so interesting and ask whether he's in the big loser apart that's instinctive
is a they're worried about stuff like this that if you allow administrators to use their
discretion
the day when abusing you know in unfortunate wet
you know and it winds up with in this case racial disparities perhaps in other ways
other past disparities occurred in the sun income levels it it's really a sport is that
could happen right
so that's what it does your thoughts but i don't think that's right answer
i think we need to find a better much better now sf
