re: Black preschoolers still disciplined at far higher rates than Whites

Black boys make up 18 percent of the male preschool enrollment, but 41 percent of male preschool suspensions, and Black girls make up 19 percent of female preschool enrollment, but account for an astounding 53 percent of female suspensions.

When overall stats don't tell the whole picture. Where are these suspensions occurring? Are there more suspensions in inner-city, high black population preschools and fewer overall suspensions in majority white areas/preschools?

Something similar came up in an "unconscious bias" training I had to take for my job and the guy talking about it said that black students in Mississippi (I live in KY so why he was talking about MS I have no idea) were suspended at a much higher rate than white students. But he failed to mention where those suspensions were occurring, the Delta, the Gulf Coast, rural MS. That information matters.
