[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From the Post article:

"Montgomery was once tougher with attendance, but its old “loss of credit” policy was scrapped in 2010 amid concerns that it took a particular toll on students of color, led to some students giving up and was at odds with the system’s move to standards-based grading."

This is just infuriating. Showing up to school is not only important, it also helps prepare students for similar responsibliities in the real world.

What's next, if Crime X is committed disproportionately by Race Y, then the solution will be to stop prosecuting for that crime?[/quote]

I mean.  That is what happens though.  Brock Turner rapes an unconscious woman.  He's white and an athlete.  Six month sentence, reduced to 3 months, no time in actual prison just the local small jail.  
Cory Batey.  Same crime, but black.  must serve a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 to 25 years in prison.

Countless others - if you're black, you do major time.  If you're white, you are patted on the head and told it's ok.  [/quote]
