Means said students with individual education plans (IEPs)—which can include those with autism, a learning disorder or a physical disability in addition to those with emotional or behavioral disorders—must be in the “least restrictive environment,” which usually means an ordinary classroom. “At what point do you say you tried and move on to Plan B, or in some cases Plan C?”

If the chief causes of disruption truly are children on IEPs, then this isn't a race thing, it's a legal thing.

Principals and school boards will happily let 20 kids with severe behavioral problems ruin the education of another 600 children in the district every year rather than face a lawsuit from even 1 parent by removing those students to a separate instructional facility.
