[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The students who are treated the most poorly in mcps are those with disabilities.  It's not even close. Since mcps has no interest in fixing that issue, it seems disingenuous to pick and choose which bias is worthy of intervention[/quote]

There are massive disgraceful racial inequities in special education.[/quote]

How so? [/quote]

It is in how children receiving special ed are categorized. This article summarizes how this happens, and I have heard from people high up that it absolutely happens in MCPS. https://www.nea.org/nea-today/all-news-articles/disproportionality-special-education-fueled-implicit-bias

[quote]Black or African American students with disabilities are more likely to be identified with intellectual disability or emotional disturbance than all students with disabilities and more likely to receive a disciplinary removal than all students with disabilities.[/quote]

And as someone with a child with special needs, this is not remotely surprising. It would honestly be shocking if it wasn't happening in MCPS absent a very concerted effort not to do it (and I haven't heard of any special ed-specific equity efforts).[/quote]

I haven't been able to understand your position from the above ( I don't open links in conversations). How aee poc children categorized differently within special education [/quote]

You can google "racial inequities in special education" if you want to educate yourself beyond what I have already provided for your lazy a$$[/quote]

I don't. I was mildly curious to see how a small faction was going to hijack the discussion but it seems we're going back to "youre biased because our test scores are very poor so you think we have more intellectual disabilities " and so on.[/quote]
