Punishment in schools must be proportionate according to race.

Posted: Feb 20, 2014

There are more blacks in prisons than whites, so this must be the reason, according to this administration.

In spite of the unearthly spin in the Forbes article, it's hard for me to see what's wrong with this idea.

"This guidance will help public elementary and secondary schools administer student discipline in a manner that does not discriminate on the basis of race."

Link to the joint letter from DOJ and DOE below.

All it says is to not discriminate when disciplining - students. Big deal.

Unless you think discipline should be doled out according to skin color?

It shouldn't be WITHHELD because of skin color either. - Read between the lines.

Why don't we wait and see how this plays out, - a la Eric Holder.

it's not, really - sm

It's true it is an initiative of the DOJ and DOE, but the Forbes article (and its adherents) have elevated this right out of the ballpark and are likening it group think and reverse discrimination. Just the usual.

Now I know for sure - some really DO have to be hit - over the head.

I cannot substantiate this remark anywhere in the article: "There are more blacks in prisons than whites, so this must be the reason, according to this administration."

Was this posted to start a - RACE RIOT???

If, so please delete it and check yourself!!!

NO!!! - AND STOP telling people what to do - sm

See, I can yell too.

She was sharing an article. One I had not seen. Just because there is an article regarding race does not mean anything. We don't have "riots" on this board. She was sharing information. If you don't like it you are not required to read it.

That's exactly true. - nm

equal punishment without regard to race doesn't even remotely suggest - proportionate punishment according to race

He's my grandson but so out of control. The parents punish him for anything he does wrong. It's to the point when they visit, I want to hide. In the store, he knocks packages on the floor, runs all over the store, climbs the shelves, etc. At home, he writes all over the walls, empties cereal boxes, pokes the dog in the eyes, pours his juice or milk on the floor, and more. When here, he sprays people with the water hose, empties the coal bucket and throws things at our dog, grabs DH ...

I have 3 grown kids in their 30s and one is 40. Two of them can't seem to remember my birthday, Christmas or Mother's Day. Once in a while they may call late in the day, or text at 10:40 p.m. on my birthday, but often nothing is acknowledged or done. There have been occasions where I get a card and once or twice a gift, but not usually. One child does routinely send a card but never a gift. They are all professionals and fairly well off. So there I am on all their birthdays and a ...

Colleges in the land of legalized pot say they still won't allow students to smoke marijuana. 12:08PM EST November 10. 2012 - Social media is abuzz with future college students dreaming of doing bong hits openly on the greens of universities in Colorado and Washington state. But those dreams may go up in smoke. "If someone thinks they are going to walk around campus smoking a joint, it's not going to happen," says University of Washington spokesman Norman Arkans.

Of all the ways in which we could respond, this, in my opinion, is the most stupid. It should be noted that "good guys with guns" are not impermeable to gunfire. Fighting fire with fire is not the way for our society to evolve. The CDC is barred - legally BARRED - from releasing data on gun deaths because the NRA is such a strong lobby. Until which time this data is made available, the NRA should keep both sides of their mouths shut. And shame on all the spineless legislators who bow to the ...

I am appalled that in 2014 this question even is asked. Apparently there are those that do not think the government should be involved in matters of discrimination. If not the federal government, then who? Anti-discriminaton is a federal law and needs to be enforced just like any other law. Below on this board there is a post regarding an article of outrage because the Departments of Justice and Education sent out a letter to schools regarding discriminatory punishm ...

Seattle, the 2nd or 3rd most liberal city in the US, where minimum wage is $15 with businesses moving out of the city limits, and socialists get elected to the city council. Meanwhile, over the past 15 years the place has become a dump and a haven for the Great Unwashed, just like San Francisco. Absolutely nothing this city does surprises me anymore. Honestly, I have no idea how liberals can stand to look at themselves in the mirror these days. ...

Add President Obama to the list of people who thinks college athletes deserve more than they get. In an interview with the Huffington Poston Friday, the president said that the NCAA should require schools to offer guaranteed athletic scholarships “no matter what.” "Students need to be taken better care of because they are generating a lot of revenue here," Obama said. "An immediate step that the NCAA could take – that some conferences have already taken – is if you ...

Thanks to the person who mentioned "Typing Race" online as a way to increase typing speed. (Can't remember what forum.) It is so fun and addictive. Maybe I am just web-illiterate but I had never heard of it before. I am re-learning to type on a Dvorak keyboard, to help my carpal tunnel, and it was sort of (very?) discouraging to be reduced to slow, hesitant typing. But Typing Race is making it so much more fun. Sometimes you get matched up against the same people on different races and the ...

"The liberals that are making false accusations about Tea Partiers must stop!! This is dirty, outrageous, and wrong!! The Democrats and liberals in the media have consistently entered into a smear campaign of tactics consisting of false accusations, hateful rhetoric, and incendiary comments.

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal responded with humor Monday when asked about the controversy over a portrait that depicts the Indian-American governor with light skin. “You mean I’m not white?” he joked at a Christian Science-Monitor breakfast.
