What about the kids who are being respectful and trying to learn while chaos is happening in their classrooms?

They are irrelevant, because we must cater to the thugs

al.com is a race-baiting dumpster fire. They employee some of the most dishonest and intellectually lazy writers in the industry. The city HS's are a joke,but al.com has embraced the DNC's mantra "the black man does no wrong."

Yes they do. Lots of discipline isn’t even reported. The get 1,000 chances. They disrupt the whole class and terrorize the school. Sure he stayed for math help and missed bus. They drove around smoking weed.

I'd like to see if schools that have mostly african american teachers have the same rates of expulsion.

Let me all save you the time… yet another trash article from a notorious trash website written by a bitter feminist. Now you can go on with your day.

According to Baggett and Andrezejewski, dress code violations are a common cause of removal for Black children, as are other offenses like disruption and defiance, which are inherently subjective and up to the interpretation of staff.

You mean, the teacher has rules for his/her classoom? Adults in charge get to decide if children are being out of pocket? You don't say...

“Dress code violations” like showing your arse or wearing hoods. Which leads to defiance after compliance isn’t met.

In Alabama, Black students are nearly twice as likely to face every type of classroom removal as compared to their white peers.

During the 2018-2019 school year, Alabama students spent 203,465 days in alternative school. And, although Black students made up only 32% of the student population in 2019, they served almost 60% of those alternative school days, according to an AL.com analysis of the most recent year of data provided. White students, who made up about 55% of the population, served only 33% of the days given.

Here's an idea, instead of calling out the educators and admins and saying it's a "culture of removal" how about we examine the REASONS why black students are disproportionally disciplined and maybe there's a "culture of misbehavior" that needs to be addressed. But that's too problematic and no one will touch that.

They can bring up this one singular case where it may be a bullshite expulsion, but there's no way they're ALL bullshite. Why don't we examine this case by case and see if these expulsions are largely bullshite or justified before we go labelling which culture is the problematic one.

Besides, I can bring up one singular case where a white guy was expelled from school and had to attend an alternative school as well. Back in HS my friend and his dad went fishing over the weekend, his dad had an ice chest of beer in the bed of the truck that my friend drove to school, and they never took the ice chest out of the bed when they got back home. Friend went to school that Monday thinking nothing of it but some nosy admin saw the ice chest in the truck in the parking lot and found a bunch of beer, so they expelled my friend for bringing alcohol on campus. But he's white so he didn't get a big exposé in the papers
