Obama forced something similar on schools: https://www.ed.gov/laws-and-policy/civil-rights-laws/race-color-and-national-origin-discrimination/dear-colleague-letter-nondiscriminatory-administration-of-school-discipline-rescinded https://www.ed.gov/laws-and-policy/civil-rights-laws/race-co... The policy warned schools that racial disparities in punishments could trigger federal civil rights investigations under a "disparate impact" standard. Ergo, presumably, if a school had a single purple student. And that purple student was punished for something. Then the entire school had to also be punished for the thing. To not fall afoul of the law. (Or maybe I'm just too autistic to have a nuanced take.) (Trump rescinded it.)

>Or maybe I'm just too autistic to have a nuanced take. Who is doing the presuming? That sounds like a bad-faith interpretation. It's bad math. You can't expect statistics to be applied at that scale, and I think courts would have agreed if anyone had tried.

If your take on ANYTHING is that Obama was a racist, and Trump was anti-racist, everything that follows is ignorable.
