Race-Based Disciplinary System

According to rightsoup.com:  Yesterday, the Tuscon Arizona school district did the unthinkable; it called for a race-based school disciplinary system. Get out the duct-tape, for your head may explode…and you’ll need it to keep the pieces from flying away.

…The board is calling for a two-tiered form of student discipline. One for Black and Hispanic students; one for everyone else.

With the goal of creating a “restorative school culture and climate” that conveys a “sense of belonging to all students,” the board is insisting that its schools reduce its suspensions and/or expulsions of minority students to the point that the data reflect “no ethnic/racial disparities.”

From the section of the 52-page plan titled “Restorative School Culture and Climate,” subhead, “Discipline”:

“School data that show disparities in suspension/expulsion rates will be examined in detail for root causes. Special attention will be dedicated to data regarding African-American and Hispanic students.”

The board approved creating an “Equity Team” that will oversee the plan to ensure “a commitment to social justice for all students.”

The happy-face edu-speak notwithstanding, what the Tucson Unified School District board of governors has approved this summer is a race-based system of discipline.

Offenses by students will be judged, and penalties meted out, depending on the student’s hue.

Any lingering questions on whether a race-war is being encouraged in this country? Social justice. Run Amuck.

What happens to the kids that are mixed?  Your black side gets to stay in school while your white side gets expelled?  What happened to: "all men are created equal" from the Declaration of Independence? These are the same people that complain about "racial profiling" too. WTF ever. . . .
