#109. School Discipline


It has long been the goal of Crusading White Pedagogues to instill discipline in their pupils and to bridge the racial gap in achievement between white and black students. Neither of these goals appears anywhere close to fruition.

One of the main problems in working with Black students is the high rates of disciplinary problems that inhibit the teacher’s ability to actively engage young minds:

Some 15 percent of the nation’s black students in grades K-12 are suspended at least briefly each year, compared with 4.8 percent of white students, according to federal data from 2006, the latest available. Expulsions are meted out to one in 200 black students versus one in 1,000 white students.

Zero tolerance and the quick resort to suspensions have been politically popular, but education leaders are having second thoughts. “If our primary obligation is to educate kids, then to punish them by excluding them doesn’t make sense,” said Daniel A. Domenech, executive director of the American Association of School Administrators.

You see, school discipline is innately racist as it disproportionately affects Black students at rates considerably higher than all other pupils.

Sadly, every state with a Black person in it appears to follow the same pattern of Black student aggression and thus, expulsion from school:

In the average New Jersey public school, African-American students are almost 60 times as likely as white students to be expelled for serious disciplinary infractions.

In Minnesota, black students are suspended 6 times as often as whites.

In Iowa, blacks make up just 5 percent of the statewide public school enrollment but account for 22 percent of the students who get suspended.

Fifty years after federal troops escorted nine black students through the doors of an all-white high school in Little Rock, Ark., in a landmark school integration struggle, America's public schools remain as unequal as they have ever been when measured in terms of disciplinary sanctions such as suspensions and expulsions, according to little-noticed data collected by the U.S. Department of Education for the 2004-2005 school year.

In every state but Idaho, a Tribune analysis of the data shows, black students are being suspended in numbers greater than would be expected from their proportion of the student population. In 21 states—Illinois among them—that disproportionality is so pronounced that the percentage of black suspensions is more than double their percentage of the student body. And on average across the nation, black students are suspended and expelled at nearly three times the rate of white students.

In Seattle, a comprehensive investigation into why Black children are frequently delinquent in their behavior and recipients of lengthy expulsions from school, revealing some incredibly unpleasant truths that will haunt every Disingenuous White Liberal henceforth:

Plenty of people say poverty is the real reason black students in the Seattle Public Schools are 2.6 times more likely to be suspended or expelled than other students. It isn't.

Plenty of people blame the race-based discipline gap on broken homes in the black community. They're wrong, too.

Black students -- regardless of their home lives -- are simply far more likely than others to be suspended or expelled, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer found in a two-month investigation.

A school culture that prides itself on being color-blind, the P-I found, might be better off taking a hard look at race.

No matter the state, no matter the geographic region of the country and no matter the socio-economic background of the family, the common denominator that threads together this unpleasant national image is that Black people everywhere are difficulty to discipline and engaging in misbehavior at an unprecedented scale.

An impressive study of Black students being disobedient at alarming scales can be found here.

Sadly, the only way to deal with students who misbehave is to permanently eject them from school, so that those who care to learn will not be held down by miscreants incapable of anything resembling education but mere poster children for the juvenile delinquents.

If the United States wanted to truly compete with other industrial nations and maintain its status as a 1st World power well into the 21st century, rationale decisions regarding school discipline must be enacted so that those capable of producing in advanced mathematics, the hard sciences and fields that require great patience and intelligence can be taught in an environment free of juvenile delinquents and the unruly.

Or, if we want to be a nation of mere diversity officers, employees and enforces, we can regard these unfortunate findings as a mere coincidence and power through with the McDonald’s line of good corporate governance. Recently, that company which strives to be 365 Black published a book on its diversity initiative entitled None of Us is as Good as All of US: How McDonald’s Prospers by Embracing Inclusion and Diversity.

The rate the United States is going under Black Run America (BRA), we have chosen the latter path.

However, another path exists. Recently, a Black teacher in Texas engaged an unruly student in a most shocking manner. She beat the student senseless:

When their teacher backed one of their classmates into a corner, students at a Houston-area charter school thought it was a joke - but it allegedly turned into a shocking and brutal beating that was caught on tape.

Sherri Davis, a science teacher at Jamie's House Charter School, allegedly backed 13-year-old Isaiah Johnson into a corner and began beating him while his classmates watched.

At the beginning of the video you can hear the laughter and applause from the students as Isaiah is backed into a corner by Davis after Isaiah reportedly teased a female classmate. But Janiqua Johnson, a student who shot the video on her cell phone, says Davis "snapped" and started beating the 13-year-old, according to CBS affiliate KHOU.

The teacher "just started beating him up," Janiqua Johnson told KHOU. "His behavior may have been bad but he didn't deserve that," Johnson said, referring to the teasing that preceded the alleged beating.

Davis was placed on administrative leave when school officials learned of the incident in late April, but was fired Monday when officials saw the video.

"It was horrifying," said Sue Jones, spokesperson for the school. "There's just no other word for that."

Janiqua Johnson and other witnesses told KHOU that four or five school employees were present in the classroom. The students claimed they felt intimidated by some teachers after the video became public.

The school is looking into allegations that other teachers watched the beat-down without stepping in, according to a school spokesperson, and said that it will punish any teachers found to have done that.

The Harris County Sheriff's Department is also investigating the incident, although a spokesperson declined to comment further.

There is no way to discipline Black students in schools, is the obvious answer. To discipline Black students is to disrupt their natural energy and vitality that can only be extinguished through sports. The classroom is a grave distraction to Black children as learning impedes other activities that would be of greater benefit to them in the long run.

When educating Black children the only goal is to apparently slow down the steadily increasing rate of disciplinary problems that plague that the Black community.

National Public Radio (NPR) did a series on Black students inability to refrain from situations that warrant expulsion and came to DWL conclusions. The only situation in SBPDL’s opinion is the Michael Oher Act at this point, but that will not be enacted.

Stuff Black People Don’t Like includes staying out of trouble in school, as Black people and school disciplinary problems are virtually synonymous nowadays.

Those white pedagogues brave enough to join Teach for America and endure majority Black schools in inner cities where the average amount of money spent per pupil far exceeds any suburban school are warned: your efforts, however noble, are misguided and wasted.

Indeed, here is a Forbes article on the best and worst school districts according the metrics of money spent per student. This information is highly quantifiable and shows some distressing information.

High achievers in academics must be placed with other high achievers and put on different educational paths than other students. To refuse to acknowledge painful realities in the preponderance of disciplinary problems that disproportionately affect Black students is to risk eradicating America as a 1st World nation.

One school district has decided to dump those classes that white students perform better in (well, it might be proficient to just dump them all then) as science laboratories in Berkeley fail to attract the right racial mix:

Via Chris Anderson comes this rather odd news about plans for Berkeley High School to cut science labs as part of the school's measures to "address Berkeley's dismal racial achievement gap." Apparently white students at the school do "far better than the state average while black and Latino students [do] worse." Fair enough. That's something worth looking into, but taking away science labs? According to one of the people who helped put forth the proposal, "science labs were largely classes for white students." So, just do away with them? Why not explore why that is? Or see if there's something more proactive to be done about it? Of course, it's not even true that it's just white kids taking science labs:

Science teachers were understandably horrified by the proposal. "The majority of the science department believes that this major policy decision affecting the entire student body, the faculty, and the community has been made without any notification, without a hearing," said Mardi Sicular-Mertens, the senior member of Berkeley High School's science department, at last week's school board meeting.

Sincular-Mertens, who has taught science at BHS for 24 years, said the possible cuts will impact her black students as well. She says there are twelve African-American males in her AP classes and that her four environmental science classes are 17.5 percent African American and 13.9 percent Latino. "As teachers, we are greatly saddened at the thought of losing the opportunity to help all of our students master the skills they need to find satisfaction and success in their education," she told the board.

It seems like there must be more to this story than what's being reported. The concept of cutting science labs because more white students take them just seems too preposterous to make sense.

SBPDL recommends buying the McDonald’s book on diversity. It is apparent that in Black Run America, we have decided on that national trajectory. Student discipline is not encouraged, for it unfortunately punishes Black people at a higher rate than other pupils.

SBPDL,

"Some 15 percent of the nation’s black students in grades K-12 are suspended at least briefly each year, compared with 4.8 percent of white students, according to federal data from 2006, the latest available. Expulsions are meted out to one in 200 black students versus one in 1,000 white students."

A lot of these issues seem to be more prevalent at more "diverse" schools. I attended a predominately black high school. There were other ethnic minorities but no white students at all. No riots, brawls, and only the usual amounts of fights.

I'm curious to see comparative stats from all white and all black schools, and yes despite Hollywood fantasies these places still exist. Any black person that had the misfortune of attending a predominately white school faced that strange hypocritical form of "justice". Misdeeds by white students were punished with less severity than those committed by blacks.

Remember Micheal Oher is an exception, the average white poster on this blog is the rule. I'll find a purple Unicorn before I come across a truly altruistic and caring white person, at least as far as blacks are concerned. That's one of the many reasons why my parents didn't bus me to the valley while that was all the rage in Los Angeles.

My K-12 school experience was totally segregated and I loved every minute of it. This might shock some of you, but all of that occurred in the 70's and 80's in Los Angeles, Ca.

I didn't think that you were allowed to discipline blacks in schools. Especially if the teacher or school official is white.

Don't they always cry racism?

Ofcourse that just mirrors the rest of society and black victimhood status. Blame whitey and take no personal responsibility. You usually have a few spineless whites who cave into the preassure, and thus that is why it works so well.

If little Tyrone Washington cusses the teacher out, and acts violent, and that teacher punishes the little thug, then all that the little ape's parents must do is call in Al( race batiting) sharpton into the mix. Or the local NAACP.

Too bad that they do not have cages in schools. When a black kid acts like a wild animal, throw em in and dart em.

Blacks can ruin a perfectly good white school with busing.

Black guy is right about one thing tho. I do not care about what blacks do to themselves as long as it does not bother me. Kill eachother off for all I care. It is not the white man's burden to take care of little savages. Just stay the fuck out of my face. Stop trying to nigger everything up. It really is that simple. I don't want to lynch anybody, I don't want slavery, I just want for blacks to stop destroying white culture. Destroy yourselves, fine, but not white culture and society.

Choose peace. Struggling will only make your impending destruction more painful and more swift.

LOL! X-D Touche! As long as that also includes the white trash little monkeys I went to school with, we are on the same page. I hate bad kids...

"Stop trying to nigger everything up."

That's not our fault; it seems as if 'white culture' steals every 'cool' thing blacks create/do. And, of course, they *kill* it, rip it of all its natural swagger, rendering it *completely corny*!
---------------
Truthfully, bad behavior in school is because of poor upbringing by parents who were brought up wrong. Poverty causes this, not to mention kids will jump all over the walls if given gumballs for breakfast and Twizzlers to wash them down.

Black Guy is totally right: white kids are *always* punished less harshly than black kids. I think this may be because white school officials (and their uncle Tom lackeys) look at black children/teens more negatively. This is due to media stereotypes and generalizations based on atypical experience. I know this from my own personal experience in HS; even though our school was diverse and prom/homecoming kings/queens were always minority, white kids were treated a lot better as a whole.

How dare we be *outraged* when a black child acts up when all of his life he's been verbally and emotionally abused and told, 'You aren't shit'? By parents *and* the establishment! (They say beautiful black babies are held least and left alone most while in daycare; workers prefer the lighter hued children and, of course, the white kids. Talk about destroying a child's self-esteem/self-worth from the jump!)

Stop with the labels; they become self-fulfilling prophecies.

"I didn't think that you were allowed to discipline blacks in schools. Especially if the teacher or school official is white."

Common sense and facts prove that statement to be incorrect. Black students are disciplined even more by white teachers and school officials.

"Don't they always cry racism?"

If you don't want blacks in "your" neighborhoods and schools, isn't always racism. Just be honest. I know most whites feel that way, so I stay away as much as possible.

"Of course that just mirrors the rest of society and black victim hood status. Blame whitey and take no personal responsibility. You usually have a few spineless whites who cave into the pressure, and thus that is why it works so well."

Blacks are seen as many things by white people like yourself, victims aren't one of those things. White people are like your family and friends. Those "liberal" whites exist in Hollywood fantasy land. Anything outside of that is done for reasons of political and economic expediency

"If little Tyrone Washington cusses the teacher out, and acts violent, and that teacher punishes the little thug, then all that the little ape's parents must do is call in Al( race batiting) sharpton into the mix. Or the local NAACP."

Let's be honest Rev. AL will more likely hang out with Ann Coulter and Glen Beck over at Fox News than get involved with the family of "apes" you described. I find the fact that two phony paid pundits like Jesse and Al are the only link to black thought that white people have very amusing.

Al Sharpton is not even a true civil rights activist. He was James brown's tour manager. He recently guest hosted on WWE. Black people knew this guy was a joke and a hack for decades. Why you white people give this unelected paid pundit so much power is beyond me.

"Blacks can ruin a perfectly good white school with busing."

A 1970 gallop poll found that 94% of whites and 91% of black opposed forced busing, so that sentiment is a very popular one across the board. That tells us smart people that busing was nothing more than a political trick. A wedge issue used to distract voters from the real issues


"Black guy is right about one thing tho. I do not care about what blacks do to themselves as long as it does not bother me. Kill eachother off for all I care.

I don't want to lynch anybody, I don't want slavery, I just want for blacks to stop destroying white culture. Destroy yourselves, fine, but not white culture and society."

I love this quote, because it fully displays the true nature of the white race. It mostly wasted on me since I don't associate with white people outside of a business setting. Many of my "can't we all just get along" brothers and sisters need the wake up call.

What is white culture? If part of it watching cars drive around in a circle for hours on end , you guys can have it.

Stuff Black People Don't Like said...

Desiree,

I think you would be surprised by the level of education many of the readers of this site have.

I'm working on an MBA in finance, and I know from the large quantity of emails I receive the diversity in education of the readership is quite impressive.

Professors at colleges, people who work on Wall Street and in high levels of finance, lawyers and students working on doctorates.

This is just a simple blog. I'm not trying to change the world. It started off as a joke almost a year ago.

I've kept it going because it caught on.

Some posters do supply commentary that I might not agree with, but if racial epithets are kept in check I do will confirm them.

White people self-segregate. All races do.

However, there is no denying that Black children get in more trouble than white kids or Asians. As you can see by the extensive documentation in this piece, in every state that has researched this topic, Black children have a higher propensity toward expulsion that other races.

On a lighter note, go have fun. It's Friday night. Don't worry about what anonymous people write on the internet.

Live your life. We'll be here tomorrow for your enjoyment!

"Vomiting insane racial rants?" I'm sorry you feel that way about Desiree. Though honestly I can't disagree.

In regard to CWN's quite reasonable stance, which is simply a colorfully stated you-go-your-way-and-we'll-go ours injunction, I noticed you didn't even remotely touch on anything discussed (or so I seem to have heard before). But if you finally did have an epiphany about the white race: we simply want to live peacefully apart from black parasitism and predation...I'm happy for you. It took long enough.

CWN said...

Black guy,

"Common sense and facts prove that statement to be incorrect. Black students are disciplined even more by white teachers and school officials."

Whos common sense might that be? I have seen no facts either. How in the world, in this PC 21 century world that we live in, could a white teacher properly discipline a black student without a backlash? The white teacher would be called racist, and usually is not supported by their higher ups anyway. Example below.

"Blacks are seen as many things by white people like yourself, victims aren't one of those things. White people are like your family and friends. Those "liberal" whites exist in Hollywood fantasy land. Anything outside of that is done for reasons of political and economic expediency"

There are many living in cracker land that want to kiss black ass. I do understand the political ass kissing. Altho, handouts to blacks never have a great return. Like throwing money into a black hole. Apparently money washes the black behavior away. Money won't make daddy stay in the family, and it will not make mommy get married, and stop having babies with 20 different menz. Money won't make gangsta rap go away. It won't bring morality into black communities. Whites waste way too much money on blacks, like with Africa.

"Let's be honest Rev. AL will more likely hang out with Ann Coulter and Glen Beck over at Fox News than get involved with the family of "apes" you described. I find the fact that two phony paid pundits like Jesse and Al are the only link to black thought that white people have very amusing."

Al likes to stick his greasy hair anywhere they will have him. And ofcourse whites think of sharpton and jackson, they are the ones always seen on the front lines. And you don't hear too many blacks shouting them down. The NAACP won't shout them down. Why would whites think of anything else?

"What is white culture? If part of it watching cars drive around in a circle for hours on end , you guys can have it."

Other then most everything, I don't know. Since whites created society, what do you think that white culture is? It is a bit of everything around you. A better question is, what is black culture? Gansta rap? pimps? south africa? out of wedlock births? crime? gangs? The fact is we do have it, but you brothas and sistas are messing it up, along with the hispanics.

"That's not our fault; it seems as if 'white culture' steals every 'cool' thing blacks create/do. And, of course, they *kill* it, rip it of all its natural swagger, rendering it *completely corny*!"

I would love to know what white people have stolen from the black man and made into something corny. Considering that most everything originates with whites.

"Black Guy is totally right: white kids are *always* punished less harshly than black kids. I think this may be because white school officials (and their uncle Tom lackeys) look at black children/teens more negatively.

Complete and utter nonsense. White officials will go out of their way to avoid being labeled as racist. Even if that means throwing another white under the bus. And the sad truth is, blacks are looked at as negative because of how they act. They bring this outlook onto themselves. And then they whine when confronted. Whites are in a catch 22 damned if you do and damned if you don't situation. Be honest or be labeled a racist.

"How dare we be *outraged* when a black child acts up when all of his life he's been verbally and emotionally abused and told, 'You aren't shit'? By parents *and* the establishment! (They say beautiful black babies are held least and left alone most while in daycare; workers prefer the lighter hued children and, of course, the white kids. Talk about destroying a child's self-esteem/self-worth from the jump!)"

Sorry, but the establishment kisses black ass. And you meant to say parent, not parents, because most blacks only have one, the mother. But that just proves the point of black culture causing the ruin of blacks. Starting in the disfunctional one parent household. And white liberal ass kissers are no better, looking the other way instead of confronting the black situation. Blacks need to blame blacks for their situations. Take responsibility and stop blaming whitey. Listen to Bill Cosby for God sake! He had the perfect black, imaginary family.

As far a loan being free. I doubt many blacks pay their loans back or they have government assistance anway. White taxes will cover it also.
Because a mind is a terrible thing to waste, only if you are poor and black, poor white mind's can be wasted however.

"The majority of his comments can be paraphrased as 'Blacks eat dung and drink zebra piss. Oh, they also rape white wimmenz!!!!'"

Ummmmmm, yep and yep. All true.

Also, listen to SBPDL, whites in general are going to be more intelligent. As opposed to some black blog. Even with blacks getting their college handouts.


Infact. I would put a white highschool dropout against a black college student any day. Especially in the common sense department.

And remember desiree, Jesus loves you.

Most whites under the age of 30, having been relentlessly nuked with exaggerated stories of whites oppressing blacks, and completely enamored with the mythological belief "we're all exactly alike, we just have different skin color", will leap at a chance to demonstrate kindness to blacks.
Then one day you realize that blacks are not victims of white oppression, they are victims of their own anti-social, irresponsible, self-destructive, and criminal behavior, and they are not capable of self-accountability, and will therefore spend eternity blaming whitey for anything and everything.

When I was in high school in the 1970's the school district thought it would be a good idea to bus black kids from the "west side" to our school. What a freakin' bunch of animals, especially the girls! And you didn't say boo to them for cutting in line or anything else because a whole gang of them would terrorize you. Of course, there were a couple of nice kids in the bunch but I'd say 80% of them were very scary.
