What an idiotic policy.
- rahimnathwani 4y agoThere are plausible reasons on both sides. One side says that, if X% of black students are suspended in a given period, compared with Y% of all students, and if X>Y, then this is prima facie evidence of systemic racism, which must be corrected. The other side says that standards of behaviour are objective and, more importantly, not suspending disruptive students harms all other students, including black students.
