   The question is how can it be explained as associated with race?

   how do we explain that?

   surely most of us don’t think that blacks are, as a race, more troublesome in the schools, do we?

   break it down by individual schools in each jurisdiction might be interesting.

   my suspects are that might be a problem in the same schools that are located in the lower-income neighborhoods – the same schools that have accreditation problems and high reduced and free lunches and the same schools that experienced teachers will not willingly be assigned to and end up be staffed with less experienced and less able that are ill-equipped to deal with an entire school of at-risk kids.

   A lot of the larger school districts that have lower-income neighborhoods will have these schools – even places like Henrico… and Fairfax.

   If we did collect and publish this data on a per school basis and it did confirm a correlation between higher incidents of expulsions with these troubled schools – what would it mean in terms of how to deal with it?

   I’m sure the school districts that have schools with these problems are at wits end as to how to deal with it…

      The problem has nothing to do with blacks as a race, and everything to do with a sub-set of blacks who, for a variety of complex historical reasons, are trapped in material poverty and familial breakdown. Let’s be clear that it’s the social justice warriors who want to make the issue about race and racial discrimination.
