[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is just an extension of ongoing DEI virtue signaling with approaches that are not backed by evidence. It's also disturbing that it's just asserted that there are disparities in discipline. I would be willing to bet that the data do not support this. If anything students from certain groups are probably more likely to get handled with kid gloves than given consequences that might actually improve their behavior and/or the school environment. It's f'd up that families are expected to just stand by and tolerate an increasingly unsafe environment for their kids in the name of social justice. [/quote]

You're really trying to rebut their "no evidence"  with your own "no evidence"?

You aren't willing to bet unless you actually bet. [/quote]

DP.  FCPS publishes discipline statistics for schools and demographics - and they've changed.  Suspensions for white children have increased and suspensions for Black children have significantly dropped.  Has the behavior of the all children changed dramatically?  That is unreported.  [/quote]

+1. I'm the PP who "betted" that there are no disparities in discipline. The claim that there are disparities rests on the notion that students of certain racial backgrounds (black, hispanic) are disproportionately targeted and punished for behavior, because of their race. This is asserted as fact because of correlational data, disregarding the possibility that, actually, kids in these groups actually are acting up more. The ideology does not allow for this to be spoken or acknowledged. I see this in research as well, which has a strong left-wing bias. The only way you'd know if students were disproportionately targeted is if you assessed if students with the exact same history and same behaviors were given different punishments. This study has not been done.[/quote]

No, not “targeted.” The point of the research is the bias is much more subtle than that.

It also patterns incarceration in the justice system. [/quote]

There are differences in sentences for violent crimes and so-called white collar crimes.

Are you really saying that Black 10 year olds are violent while white 10 year olds are embezzlers?  [/quote]
