[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe they actually ARE disproportionately acting out? This requiring disproportional frequency of discipline. I feel bad for the administrators. “Sorry Bob, can’t discipline this kid. Too many others have already acted out this month. We’ve hit our discipline quota.”[/quote]

You’re willfully misinterpreting what would be done. It isn’t about NOT disciplining actual infractions. Part of this is about staff training and helping teachers build competency so their own internal biases don’t cause them to refer students for things like “disrespect” if they wouldn’t refer another student for that same behavior. It’s a major issue when white teachers who do not reflect on their own biases are the ones referring students at higher rates and not questioning WHY. [/quote]

Ok. But this explains why the “outrage” over this is a tough sell for some people. [/quote]

I don’t think it does. There shouldn’t be outrage over schools reassessing their practices and data to ensure that we are not even subconsciously treating students in different racial groups differently. [/quote]
