I'm not sure how you think that the discipline rate of Asians affirms or refutes an implied anti-black or anti-Hispanic bias in MCPS faculty and staff.

The lede says "black and Hispanic students in Montgomery County schools are, on average, more than three grade levels behind white students academically, and more than twice as likely to be disciplined as white students." The HEADLINE says "Minority Students in MCPS More Likely To Be Disciplined, Behind Academically." This is a space issue, and Asians are kind of being erased by the headline writer. But the article is pretty clear that it is talking about black and Hispanic students, not all minority students.
I think the answer is that yes, Asians are a minority, but they are not the particular minority that this article is about. And that headline writers sometimes slightly misrepresent the meaning/content of the article in favor of using fewer words.
The entire story omits Asians skewing the conclusion
I don't think it skews the conclusion. I don't think very many people are racist in the exact same way toward all minority groups. Most people's unconscious biases are different for different races/groups, and the system can be racist against black and Hispanic students in a different way than against Asian students. So I don't think the conclusion that black and Hispanic students experience negative bias in MCPS (or in America generally) is a conclusion dependent on how Asians fare or are treated.

In academia, Asians are considered de facto white, except when it come to university admittance. Then they are considered a separate category.
Asian American students are discriminated against whichever way you look at it.

Haven't they already been doing this? THey need to start doing things differently - bring discipline back into schools REGARDLESS of skin color, race, etc. Do not ding schools/principals for reporting incidents. Stop sweeping crap under the rug like we've been doing with sexual predators. That's the only way to bring change.

I guess it depends on what you see as the conclusion. It appears that you are unwilling to grapple with the conclusion, but, in the article, MCPS is.

Barely any Asians in holywood. No Asians on the Supreme Court. I think you just think mi Keith means groups you have low expectations of.
