[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This will only stop when we bring back consequences for bad behavior. Parents start disciplining your children and we should all push for the schools to reinstate more consequences at school, including after school detention and suspensions. Get rid of restorative justice, it doesn't work.[/quote]

Democrats won’t allow schools to return to sane, fairly-applied, disciplinary policies.

This all stems from Obama’s 2014 “Dear Colleagues” policy, and the use of the disparate-impact standard to gut school discipline.

Look it up.[/quote]

That is because they were not fairly applied. Same offense and one kid would get detention and the other kid got suspended, I am going to guess you can figure out who got what. IF the consequences were fairly applied AND all kids received the same consequences for their action THEN most people would be fine with returning to that. But when Black and Hispanic kids are far more likely to receive the written punishment then the White kid, those rules are going to go away.

The rules were not discriminatory but the way they were enforced were. Look it up.[/quote]
