Discipline was not racist based on personal knowledge and information and belief at Wheaton, Peary, Rockville, Kennedy, Springbrook, Seneca Valley and BCC. That is not to say that there were not some tacist white kids at such schools but I do believe that MCPS policies were intentionally or unintentionally racist. What’s your evidence that they were? Because you say so based on some days of the percentages of who were suspended?

IWEALTHY BLACK BOYS IN MCPS ARE DISCIPLINED AT HIGHER RATES THAN POOR WHITE BOYS.

Are there really enough wealthy black boys to make a statistical case one way or the other? I work in the system and I can count the number of truly affluent black boys on one hand that I have come across. Middle class is certainly a larger block but they are often compelled to "keep it real" and over try to earn respect from the trouble makers being they are often in economically diverse schools with large populations of poorer kids. There are simply not that many in the real affluent areas and I would wager the affluent ones in affluent areas have normal disciplinary records. In the examples of poor kids in affluent areas it is almost predictably so their records will show contrast.

This post makes me so sad. You're basically saying well all the Black kids are poor, the ones that aren't aren't THAT rich and anyway their behavior is just as bad because CULTURE. Let's just ignore the mountains of research on disparate treatment of Black boys vs everyone else. These kids have been observing the disparate treatment since they were in preschool. JFC.
