[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] For example, it is not racist to embrace rigorous academic standards, even if leads to more black kids dropping out than non-black kids. It is not racist to discipline disruptive kids, even if more black kids are disciplined than non-black kids. Moreover, since most of the kids are black, any policy which results in disciplinary action will result in more black discipline cases. [/quote] It is, however, racist, very racist in fact, if there's a pattern in which black students are disproportionately disciplined, or drop out, and community members attribute it to rigorous standards rather than actually investigating the causes. [/quote] As noted earlier, aren't the OSSE and PCSB currently investigating? Isn't reasonable to assume that allegations of racism are at least past of the investigations? If no findings of racist policies or conduct are reported, can we drop these suggestive posts? [/quote]
