[quote=Anonymous]Item C is the key text.  It second guesses the judgement of the school administrators that are on the ground, aware of the incidents and infractions they are evaluating, pressuring them to make disciplinary decisions they otherwise would not make by injecting the race card into disciplinary process.

Moreover, from the report link that you cut and pasted from the OP:

[quote]
BE TIMELY AND OPEN
• A school system must conduct its disciplinary process in a 
timely and open way.
• A school system should provide to the students’ representative 
any document it intends to use at a hearing.
[color=red]END DISPARATE IMPACT
• To the extent that the disciplinary process is shown to have 
disproportionate impact on minority and/or special education 
students, a school system must present a plan to this Board to 
end such disparate impact.
[/color]
PROVIDE EDUCATIONAL SERVICES
• When out-of-school suspension is imposed, a school system 
must provide at least minimum educational services to the 
student.

The sections in black make absolute sense.  Bravo.

The section in red assumes that if the children of a given race are suspended at a greater rate than children of other races, that there must be some injustice perpetrated by the school administrators, and that the school system must be pressured to come up with a plan to, on very short order (1-3 years) either not suspend children of that race as much, or to equally suspend children of other races.  Plain and simple, the very thought of pressuring school systems to inject racial considerations into their disciplinary decisions is itself RACIST.  On that there is no question.

How trite to focus on the DailyCaller, when 2/3 of the reference materials made available in the original message clearly referred the reader to information published on Maryland State government web sites, not the least of which was the report itself (which you so aptly regurgitated through a copy and paste).

But, I guess when you rely on extracting only those portions of a post that convenience your point, that is to be expected.

Fortunately as has been seen throughout this thread, the DCUM community is, for the greater part, too smart to fall for that.  I will save you some trouble and simply say that you do your visitors an injustice by clouding the truth behind this bad O'Malley policy.
