United States Latest News,United States Headlines

Black girls are five times more likely than white girls to be suspended from school, according to a 2020 study by the Education Trust and National Women’s Law Center.

ABC News’ Janai Norman reports on why Black girls receive unequal treatment and are more likely to be suspended and even arrested over incidents at school.

“They took me in this room, they said she wasn't finished yet,” Kirkland told ABC News about picking her up from the juvenile detention center. “They needed to me to sign some papers. And as I went around the entrance of the doorway. At the left was a desk. And on that desk, truth be told, were mugshots of Kaia.”What Kirkland said hurts even more than seeing her young granddaughter’s mugshot, is the disappointment she feels with Kaia’s school.

“I get a call… stating that [the school] needed to take my daughter's vitals because she was ‘hyper and giddy,’” McKinstry told ABC News. “What did she do? Immediately I snap. Like, what do you mean? Her vitals. She's twelve. She's hyper and giddy. That's normal behavior.” The girls told ABC News they were detained in the nurse’s office, where one by one, they were called in to be searched. Silva and McKinstry’s daughters said they were told to undress.

“Surveilling the bodies of young people because their joy is perceived as suspicious, is just unacceptable,” Morris said. “The fact that so many of our children's bodies, are treated as disposable really does link back to this, this representation of the Black body, particularly the Black girl’[s] body as a public entity. This treatment of Black girl bodies as something to be policed, something to be controlled. Something to be monitored.

The teens in New York say they continue with the fallout from that day in the nurse’s office nearly two years later. These incidents make these girls more likely to struggle in school and increases their chances of ending up in juvie, or even worse, on the streets, she says.“We've modeled much of what we've created in our learning spaces, from the politics of fear that tell us we need more guns, we need more surveillance we need harsher punishment,” Morris said.

Blacks are also more violent than every other group. That should matter.

Because “behaving” is “white supremacy.”

Black girls are 10 times more likely to bully white girls!

Behave then?

They get suspended from home school to

Everybody raise your hand if they had to ride the bus with black girls. Never a dull (or quiet) moment.

Well they tend to louder, more obnoxious, and more violent so it’s fitting they’re punished more often.

BREAKING: BLACKS COMMIT MORE CRIME. Oh wait... That's not breaking news is it?

Has their been a study of behavior or only of punishment?

THE GREAT USA🖕🖕🖕

Picking on people got nuttin to do with it? I bet it does.

And what has the indoctrinating school system planned?

Okay, but why?

Despite

I’m sure that has nothing to do with the rate at which they break the law....

O H P L E A S E

They are violent.

So they're 5 times more likely to break school rules and 4 times more likely to break laws? How is this news?

BREAKING: It’s their own fault.

Schools are run by all Democrats

In other news: The sky is blue.

Sheesh. Being out of control has consequences I guess

Bullshit.

Weird:

Because what they do?

Maybe black people should go start their own schools in their own country

because of their behaviour? lol

Jim Crow never left. You should be furious.

ya but why doe? You have to have only gone to all White schools to think this has anything to do with mUh rAcIsM.

Maybe they should act more like white girls and not like wild animals?

I wonder why.

For no reason at all...

To the folks saying the girls should behave more - your racial prejudices are exactly why the problem exists. 'Studies show that these differences in rates of suspensions are a result of policies and adult biases - not a result of differences in behavior.'

Wonder y?

Impulse control is a largely inherited trait.

Has there been a study between the likelyhood of White males getting suspended from school and arrested in comparison to Asian males?

Back in the 60's Black Girls who best up white girls for absolutely no reason were only given a 'slap on the hand' so to speak! Reverse discrimination also exists!

Tommaturd So are Latinx & indigenous girls

They brag about being thugs when it suits them though.

This picture gives a false impression. 70% of Black homes don’t have a father in the home. Maybe that is part of the problem

Must be a reason for that.

How many times are we going to see this article?

Maybe because black kids are 5x as disruptive or breaking the school rules. Hmmmm!

Yes but its not descrimination? So what is it? Wide spread thru out the US not just the ol'south. We got a lot of work and re-education to do people!!!!

each his master: the sign of recoil! The first school in the world is founded in China! They are neither black nor white. it was never their subject! They are more advanced!

Blame their parents.

That's one side of the coin, flip it over.

Can't imagine why.

ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS cry victim instead of looking at their ACTIONS. Ever see some of these kids in public schools? Total out of control animals!

Maybe its bcuz of WHAT THEY DO!!!!!!!!!!!! Leave it to deranged WHITE LIBS to only see color and NOT their actions! Behave like a civilised normal person and you won't be suspended or thrown out of school or arrested. Pretty basic simple concept

Lol

Welcome to USA ☺️

Cuz majority of black girls are rude and ghetto fabulous thats why they get suspended more

With Biden, side with the darkies. Next report in 4.3.2.1

Why? Tell the whole story. Could it be white girls are less violent? Less confrontational? Are you headline grabbing? Wanting to make more division? Wanting to create a civil war? What exactly is your agenda ABCNetwork 2021?

Why do black schools require metal detectors and extra security 🤔

That is so much bullshit. Stop trying to still make black peoples victims of hate lies that racist news media like this one spreading trying to start a civil war so you can help make biden a good dictator. DAMN

Omg give me a break,

Old news. STOP.

You don't need a 2020 study. Weve known what the issues are for a long time.

ohmygawd. there are soooo many racist people boldly commenting with 'but if they didnt...'

How about don’t do anything to get suspended?🤔🤔🤔

The 4 times figure seems low. There is no way negros are only 4 times more criminal as whites.

I mean, black men don’t even defend black women....them bitches is nuts

FalseReporting

Out of stories? You ran this story awhile back. What’s the deal reruns.?

Now do dads/no dads.

Maybe it's something their doing.

Raise em right !!! Parenting matters. ABC is fake news

By checking on their attitude no wonder why.

A little spirited, huh? Teach 'em to pick their battles! They don't have to fight everyone......

Black girls are being attacked while they are young just like black boys were because the black culture is still surviving thanks to Black Women. So they want to destroy them while they are young like they did to the black mem.

And whose fault is that? Could it be that the black community does nothing to promote values in their children? Hmmmnnn

No matter you’re pigment or income the fatherless families suffer

This victim narrative is not helping.

I've seen a lotta school fight videos on twitter. This aint surprising at all

Maybe black fathers shouldn't abandon their families.

They should stop doing things that get them suspended. Maybe it has something to do with their parents? Maybe?

Some weird replies in the thread. Again...

I think the reason of these are not their skin!

That’s because black kids cause more trouble

BUT THEY ARE FIVE TIMES MORE LIKELY TO BE VIOLENT. I've seen it for 40 years in an urban school district,

Do the math Blacks make up 14% of population Whites make up 63% of population That is a racist study makes 0 sense of course you would have those stats

You people are racist

Unfair jail sentence Unfair work environment Unfair educational environment Unfair neighbourhood Unfair treatment as Tourist At 4am this morning,I was speaking with a non black lady & my heart went out to her. Ppl just want to feel good. Let's make someone feel GOOD today!

ABC where you come up with this RACIST news story. Hire some real JOURNALISTS.

Who follows the rules?

Only if Biden says they're black though.

Suspensions and arrests don’t “happen” to people, you have to ignore and break rules for this to happen. To function in a civilized society, one must follow the rules.

I see the new year did not effect the mindset of the Professional Victim.

Omg because the world is racist!

As long as we keep ourselves divided we will never be great again. Is that the New World philosophy? Keep us divided until we blow up and than send the U.N. to the rescue? I know we are just talking about little girls, RIGHT? THINK! WHAT IS THE PLAN?

Boys are 10 times more likely than girls to be suspended from school and 50 times more likely to be arrested. I wonder what the reason for that could be... I guess it must be that they all hate men ... because there couldn't be any other possible reason

Why though?

It's almost as if they behave differently

Ratchet

So we’re not going to address the Elephant in the room? Could it be poor parenting? Could it be “REPEAT” offenders? This is just more Racial Division by ABC. They get the narrative from DNC and run it. Poor piece of “journalism” right here! Very poor!

If you commit the crime you do the time whether you’re black, white, pink, orange or green. Stop blaming skin it’s the person wearing the skin. Period the end. is Racist trying to start race wars. MSMRaceWars MSMStartingRaceWars

Come on people where is your morals and logic that god gave yoy? Put them to use! Your not stupid si why act it?

Thank God for bringing bitcoin to man,it has being a great source of blessing to all of man kind who have passion for bitcoin trading. Now the poor are getting rich over night and the rich getting richer. lisaMakT thank you for your proper management .

Behave!

Schools fault? Parents Fault? Democrats Fault? Societies Fault? the young ladies fault? Or finally all the above? You Choose?

Because they act like thug good rats...wake up!!!

people who ride in cars with food on their lap are more likely to spill food in cars.

Let me guess...? Racism Nothing else? No bad behaviour or personal responsibility here

Join Robinhood with my link and we'll both get a gift stock for the holidays!

I call bs. DontLetThemDivideUs

abcnews & the LGBTQPP are trying to create racial unrest in this country. They are viciously exploiting black people to get revenge against heterosexuals for not accepting them throughout the history of the world. Now we know why!

More likely to be shoot by a white person or a black person?

Because they act up the most

Are white girls blessed or are they getting their inheritance before judgment day?

snopes did the survey...

Makes sense. Black girls are 5 times more likely to have sassmouth.

Bullshit, they need to act right Fathers in the home help

Did this study happen to study if they are more likely to commit serious disciplinary infractions?

blacks commit 50% of crimes in the US and black on white crime is 10-1 SO lets us all the facts not just Race Baiting

Kids with poor support systems at home and those that get in trouble are more likely to be suspended, by adding race into this story shows their racism and wanting to create division.

White girls are five times more likely to have a family and not a daycare with 5 half siblings

I will bet you good money that white girls are disciplined more frequently than Chinese girls.

These replies are sickening.

Not surprising

For those who won't read the study itself: 'Studies show that these differences...[are] not a result of differences in behavior. In other words, Black and Native girls are not more likely to misbehave, but they are more likely to be disciplined.' Food for thought.

about 95% of videos I see of school age students acting a fool are of black girls beating the shit out of someone. Maybe they should chill the fuck out and stop jumping people while filming it.

American Mexican are in the same way.

So? Now talk about the proportion of fatherless girls who get suspended/arrested. CorrelationIsNotCausation

Sounds like black girls seem to have an increased likelihood of behavioral problems compared to white girls. Wonder if it has anything to do with increased percentage of fatherless homes? 🧐

Legacy of slavery. When US politicians claim, “this is the greatest country on earth” (a statement that feeds into caste ideology) what do they really mean?

Well maybe they should learn some manners. It's getting tiresome to take a look at the statistics, name the result, and ignore why you have the result. They are just less disciplined.

So...You never see those videos of black girls in schools? Malls? Anywhere? They’re like hostile animals.

Well no shit.... have you met black women before LMAO

Good

This type of news creates discrimination!!!

Forgot to add tasered and slammed to the floor handcuffed.

Stop the division

Behave.

5X more likely to be suspended because they're actions are 5X more dramatic! Just going off what the teachers that I know say. Also the majority of the teachers I talk with are black... threw that out there to avoid dumb comments

spinart7 And it will follow them later into life as well. Serena Williams has been campaigning on this for years. Doctors will believe a black woman less than a white woman wrt pain...even black doctors admit to this racial profiling

As I said when this story ran the first time a few months ago. We need more on the demographics of the schools in the study.

Maybe attitude and not skin color? Maybe actions more than the melatonin in thier skin? Also all administration members are white? So much garbage reporting

My first day working in a lower income school (K-2), I was shocked to see girls fist fighting! Not just with other girls but with boys! It’s a different world. ☹️

It’s racist. Why is ABC reporting black people are more violent and likely to break laws and rules. BLM

Disparate punishment? Or disparate behavior? Why are you jumping to conclusions?

These racial categories are themselves racist and are a perpetuation of institutional racism. ELIMINATE RACE IDENTITY NOW! Let us be a human family and be judged as individuals, and for the content of our characters and not for our skin colors.

Can we please stop talking about black and white it’s getting old! Who gives a shit stop whining!

Surprise!! Being raised in a lawless & violent culture is linked to being suspended from school more than those who are not....

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes...

Enough with these racists stories already! What purpose do they serve other than scaring young black children?

The litmus test should be - based upon the rules established by the school system, were the girls suspended based upon those rules? If yes, the color of their skin is irrelevant, as is whether some girls got a pass because they were otherwise good students, etc.

Because they're dramatically more likely to come from a single parent households. Racism isn't holding the black community back, its their own stupidity.

Correction it’s BLACK GIRLS not Girls of color

TananariveDue White adults perceive blk kids as adults & when they look at blk kids they can't see similarities to their own kids like they do when they look at white children. This disconnect leads to lack of empathy, which leads to harsher punishments for the same offenses white kids do. 2/2

TananariveDue How about doing a story on how black children are perceived by whites to be physically older than they actually are, and are therefore expected to act the age they look, and when they don't they're punished more harshly because 'they're big enough to know better'. 1/2

Can we just stop this?seriously! Black,white, purple, orange, green or camouflage.I know many BLACK GIRLS who were never suspended! b/c just like any white mama the black mama would beat her ass! The media and those printing this nonsense are the problem!!!

50smag I must be a black girl

Just ship all the white people to an island. Maybe Hawaii. 🤣

Can't fix old racism with new racism.

Because they are 5 times more likely to lack a good content of character.

Well not just girls but guys also... and maybe not just Black but others too.

Black people are 100% more aggressive then any other race period so quit crying and educate yourself aggressiveness will get you no where...

What are the behavior patterns? Be honest.

None of the racists read the story at all. Just giving their warped opinion and fake counter statistics. 'Oh I'm a teacher, I know the truth' :/

And arrested, and convicted, and raped... but pretending that this is a race issue and not a class issue is disgusting.

That's real and true, and most times has nothing to do with racism. Most black girls are dealing with stress from their environment. Some suffer from abuse, lack of resources, and single family home. When they go to school and get into trouble... they are only acting out...

My daughter was called the 'N'word in high school by a black girl. My daughter is white and I had to demand that the other student get the same treatment my daughter would have gotten if she had done that to the black student. So no, it goes both ways!!

Five Suspended Report

Are they 5 times more likely to commit behavior that deserves suspension? That’s the question.

This is not necessary. I feel like the media are our main problem when it comes to racial discrimination.

More likely to be suspended for the same violation? Or is it because more violations?

Really need to work on their behavioral issues.

morgfair Not right!

morgfair I got suspended all the time. 100 percent I deserved it.

💔💔💔💔

I bet the Chinese, Indian and Japanese are more likely not to get suspended over White.

So they’re five times more likely to do something that gets them suspended.

'RACE BAITING'

Enough already

If black girls would behave they wouldn’t get suspended.

Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.

Some of y'all need to look up implicit bias, because your comments are ignorant.

Wow!!!! The racists are out after seeing this headline! 🙄 Reading the entire article might bring more clarity on the subject but some people just prefer to be ignorant.....and racist!

What is the over-under on when ABC will run their first “whitey is evil” story? I’m guessing 1/01/2021 at 8:41AM EST.

The media needs to stop putting labels: black, white, yellow, brown, lesbians gay, 🏳️‍🌈. Don’t ask what race? Called people by names David, Sarah Louis

Breaking news! Black girls 5 times more likely to be suspended: whitey to blame.

Wow a picture with a father in it . Thats odd😂

I see that many of the comments are of the form the system isn't racist it's black peoples fault.

It sounds like black girls have a significant predisposition to behavioral problems then white girls. The higher rate of fatherless homes with black girls is probably a huge factor.

The adults and organizations must be held accountable for these acts of racism and unjust treatment.

Coming from an educator..this is absolutely TRUE. White children can be standing on a desk cussing out the class and its...calm down son. Black child coughs......Get out, go to the office, thats insubordination. Trust and believe it is BAD and completely unfair.

Pretty sure this story was ran about 2 weeks ago. I wonder why they would be rerunning it......hmm.....almost like they have an agenda.

Stop reporting this kind of crap, just stop doing it. Get your knees off of our necks ~it's been hundreds and hundreds of years~ enough already!

If you happen to see this tweet, could you please share my moms campaign? She recently beat covid and suffered a lot of health complications. We need some assistance getting her back on her feet. Thank you for donations, shares and prayers!

Thanks for the Great reporting ABC we are so glad you are on top of things. OH AND BY THE WAY GFY

Why? Because they act out? Not accepting authority? Surely, it is not the color but the attitude, dears?

So they fault everyone else because their daughter got in trouble for kicking a teacher. If one of my kids had kicked a teacher it would not have been well with them.

Absent fathers a direct correlation

Retired teacher here, they are five times more likely to get into a physical fight including the staff member who is trying to break it up.

Just stop.

And it is completely because of racism and no other reason.

Behavior is important. No getting around it, no special treatment. The Democrat media wants to turn this into a race issue fakenews

Why do black girls break the rules more? Seems odd.

Oh please media, keep dividing us. Pathetic

I mean you should know why this is rocket science, my god haven’t you seen how ghetto some girls are. Like damn cut it out and let’s be real. Manners matter

And how many of these homes are one parent ones?

It all starts at home. Maybe the parents have something to do with this?

I wonder why

This has been a known fact for years.Maybe due to the fact that it's now being discussed and politicized, on a broader spectrum, a change will come about.

And the racist comments start in 1,2,3.

Coincides with the 5 times less 2 parent homes and ZERO discipline.

This is purely anecdotal but I never saw the white, Hispanic, or Asian chicks rip each other’s clothes off & hair out. They fought but not like me black girls did. I didn’t mess with them. Nobody did.

First grader placed in handcuffs, mugshots! What in the world?!

As an actual teacher, no one is getting suspended for sitting quietly and doing their work. They are getting suspended for fighting and they physically fight 10 times as much as any other group I teach. 'Cultural' I guess, but there is no choice with antibullying leg., dummies

Well maaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe, they're more likely to break the rules.

In my experience it has to do with fatherless homes and low income.

so does that mean that they are singled out or does it mean that they act up more?

Race Baiting MSMIsTheEnemyOfThePeople

Like we don't know this BS !

Lmfaooooooo woooooooooooow we’ve only been saying this for like.......EVER🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Race baiting at it’s finest

They commit 5x more violent incidents in school.. The 'science' sucks on this one,, I get it..

Lol.. Survey says all inner-city schools

You need to be a teacher, there is a reason .

Five times more likely to be targeted, or five times more likely to do things to get themselves suspended?

Who's report? Sorted by severity of the behavior I assume? Maybe parents should be more concerned with the fact their kids are getting suspended at all. Stop teaching them to be victims.

Riiiggghhttt. Let's not talk about why, let's just conclude its due to 'Racism' and think no further. This is disgusting gaslighting.

We saw this article many times already

Excellent study.

Lollll

I’m sure there 5x more likely to mis behave...

give it a rest

Maybe Its in their attitude

Maybe it’s a culture problem? Have you interacted with angry black women? The stereotype exists because the behavior is observed frequently enough to create it.

When I was in high-school I was suspended once a year every year for 4 years, and I'm white.

Then stop acting like fools. EVERYONE!

Stop doing stupid shit that gets you suspended from school, and arrested. THE END!!

Well, most of them are raised in single parent households (over 70%) which data shows leads to more disciplinary issues, more jail time, less income, less education and more dependence on the government. They're that way thanks to their parents. The data is clear. badparents

I believe it’s true but need more data so Release entire report.. to compare ratio of “crimes” committed,race % of B/W in same school? or in dif communities? Race % of faculty, school’s community, LE’s districts/precincts, and ages of girls.. otherwise this is just a headline.

That's because they act like animals.

Then maybe their parents need to address the issue. A little thing called personal accountability, but you liberals always love to blame everyone else except yourselves for your issues.

Then stop acting up take responsibility for your actions

When they become adults,they get same,if not worse treatment

That’s because of the way they act loud and disrespectful

How is it unfair punishment if all the colors involved are getting the same punishment? It's not the white girls fault 5 times more black girls break the rules.

Major reason is the complete breakdown of the Black family. 73% of all black children are raised No Dad in household. Another major reason white liberals, Black leaders and Democratic party promote - $ enable career entitlement dependency that destroys self worth.

A quick study, know, by The African Education Trust and Commonsensical Center show ABC News is Full Of Shit.

of course dysfunctional families

Change the narrative! If you want these statistics to go away BLM should put all that money they raise back in the communities instead of spending it on democratic politicians!! Investing in community programs and education will go a lot further!

And 72% of black babies are born to single women.

Wow the racists have been TRIGGERED they have come out in force tonight 😂

Historic, a reckoning day to come... The truth about Georgia elections & all that shameful past amounting to the biggest (of the whole world) State Prison Industrial Complex... Cashing on black segregation & voter suppression. A new day ahead. Do your part: Vote and help vote.

RNS wwp ADASymposium PBS I’ve noticed too sometimes it’s a self esteem issue. Some Black women maybe have a very low opinion of Blacks. I really don’t know why I always looked in the mirror knew that I’m Black and never had any problem with that. No matter what society said.

It’s because of their family or their lack thereof?

And who’s fault is that? What percentage of these girls are from single parent households

Oh..please. they are agressive and looking for problems anyways.

Let’s see the holidays are a few days away . 300 million people in the USA and you can’t step outside your office and find a story . Something uplifting something to bring a smile something to unite us Nope division is the name of the game

I believe it. The black girls at my son's high school frequently threaten each other, fight. No harmony among their race. Sad.

I’m sure that has nothing to do with the fact that Black families are 4 times more likely not to be actively involved in their children’s lives.

ABC news is a racist and ignorant news platform. They want to incite racism not heal wounds. POS news , Fake news..

SarahSmiles03 thoughts?

It's not what racist Biden thinks.....

💥MSM is more likely to lie. 💥 It's all a production for you. 💥Don't fall for it. 💥Lift yourselves out of their grip.😊🇺🇸🙏

It has nothing to do with race and everything to do with culture...

Stems from no male parent households

Lies!

Sad....

The M S M /C C P handlers have all of you libs right where they want you! Stop playing the hand they dealt you!! The R A CISM game is old and played out!

As sleepy Joe said, poor kids can be as good as white kids

Because the laws and more enforced on poor people, and people of color

Here we go again with news media cultivating the victim mentality. Wouldn't it be better to search for differences in behavior, in order to promote positive change?

Oh let me guess that’s the white girls fault?

Why are you propagating for a race war?

ABC should not even have this study as a topic to discuss. Come on ABC what about your black women journalists think how they will feel after reading this crap. I am sure it’s a bunch of white people who conducted this study.

The conclusion of unequal treatment doesn't follow automatically from the statistics. You have to look at behavior by race, and then be honestly willing to search for causes, such as fatherless homes.

And how many girls of color with two parents have the same issues as those with just a single parent? Asking for a friend.

DON'T DO THE CRIME IF YOU CANT DO THE TIME.

Dad home?

Can almost guarantee it’s not because of the color of their skin.

Wonder why that is?

Guess they should be better students?

Liberal bullshit to cause division!

Big whoop

In here we don't care about your colours we care about your wallet, you have money you have privilege, you don't have money.....

Never has been equal

Nothing to do with the color of their skin and everything to do with their behavior.

They keep actin up

I think that should be a message to their parents. The children are displaying their upbringing. If we continue to tell them it’s not their fault they will not change the bad behavior. It is their fault, and their parents fault.

ABC trying to stoke some racial bullshit. You guys are foooooked!

Once again, come back to Africa. You are free people, return home to the Motherland.

Because African American girls do things to get suspended.... stop making this a race issue. It’s a African American issue.

Seems like a biased study performed by politically biased organization. Scientifically worthless. Perhaps the authors should've explored the impact of single black mother families on the development of young black girls and their school discipline problems.

I mean it's not their fault. Half the time the white girls start shit and I believe this research is stupid because white girls can get suspended too. Not just Black Girls.

Tribalism... Stop acting like the shitty people you idolize.

It happens more so it must be racism. Just like the fact that more boys are suspended. That proves sexism. All disparities mean injustice!! Got it people?

Have as many kids as you want. It doesn't matter if you can afford to house and feed them, or if ur even fit yourself to raise them and shape them into responsible adults. No, we'll put that off on the state--and by God they better do it right or we're suing.

70% of blacks are born out of wedlock. Maybe having a father and a stable family leads to better behaved children. But let’s blame whitey.

seriously who cares

Duh. Sorry.

how many cases of fraud discipline by teachers would we find if they were required to wear body cams ?

Black girls more likely not to have a Daddy around too

Are suspensions handed out randomly or are they given as a response to students behavior?

💔💔💔💔

Are teachers more likely to be white women..?

This is a grossly misleading article. I went to a school where 95% of the population was black 3% was white 2% was Hispanic and 1% was other. There were equal amount of students having ISS (in school suspension), suspended and even expelled.

Are you going to blame 'the Jews' or something?

This must change

Why is that?

Wait until you see em jail for they’re adult life and claim it was racism that did it. Fools if they think we don’t get it. Maybe the 3 billion in donations blm took in could rebuild they’re hoods, doubt it.

this kind of comment perpetuates racism. ELIMINATE RACE now!

How much more likely are they to do stupid shit? Unless we know that, then these numbers mean nothing.

lmao....must be a slow news day...unfortunately I'd say tax money somehow got involved with this pile of 💩

Thanks , maybe its the vaccine causing it

Why? What are the reasons for the suspensions? Cities, states ?

Clearly based on racial characteristics. Slavery and colonialism poisoned the great experiment in freedom and democracy. Greed and racism and classism and amorality in the name of a “superior god” and wealth ...

They should behave then.

Lmaooo are they 5x more likely to act up, 4x more likely to argue and start a fight? Stupid ass arguments

🏴🖤

I went to a school that was probably 60% white, 40% black. The white kids rarely fought, the black kids fought, in school, daily, including the girls having brawls.

Wow. In what society This is has to be fake. I work in the trenches and no student is expelled these days.

shut the eff up with the division

And?

That starts at home.

ABC Racist posting

Didn’t biden and Kamalas policies lead to this

wow

I would like to hear the reasons why?

ECONOMIC RACISM.

What about boys? I would think a little less, but who knows.

yes, they are more violent. how is this news?

ABC Racist post

Don't commit crime and don't violate school policy and you won't be suspended or arrested? It's not rocket science. If they can't grasp that, their parents should be held accountable for poor parenting skills.

ABC on that racial bullshit again

10 times more likely to get pregnant

BULL💩

The 40 & younger GA crowd gave Biden the WIN at 37% of the electorate. Right now, 40 & younger represents 21% of the votes in the runoff. We will be stuck with MoscowMitch, corporate bailouts & a continuance of Trump corruption if we can’t get the young GA base out to VOTE!

Now the BAD PARENTS will sue the taxpayers and win because their lawyers know that states settle rather than go to court opening even more 'free money' lawsuits from their bad parenting.

That's good!!!! Not like she went to jail. A 6yo should have more respect for her elders than that unless she was defending herself. Her parents should be hauled away as well for their role of BadParenting. If she has mental or emotional issues then they need to be managed.

Discipline starts at home, and not to be taught in school. If you don’t want your kids arrested then discipline them at home.

I bet she isn't going to be able to kick anyone for a while or Maybe not seem that we have a liberal culture that praise and worship criminals

Back when I was going to school the teacher whooped our asses then when you got home your mother whipped your ass again , our neighbor whipped our ass ..

Excessive unnecessary force for this situation. There are so many ways to handle situations like this without involving the police! Schools have access to multiple services yet their first response was to call the police. Would this be the response given to a white student?

Any school teacher that can’t handle a six year old child need to be terminated. Now, a law enforcement officer, putting handcuffs on a six year should be terminated immediately. Both teacher and law enforcement should know better.

Obviously think that it was ok

OMG. TEACH YOUR CHILDREN RESPECT!!! No child should be touching or KICKING an authority figure!!! She needed to be punished & scared to EVER kick anyone EVER! She’s probably seen her mother kick people. She should have been PRETEND ARRESTED to scare her!!! Since her parent(s)

But on the other hand, how the hell is a kid going to kick a teacher? Is this common?

If teachers cannot deal with kids throwing trantrums they shouldn't be teaching or go anywhere near any children.

Video is not as shocking as the school's behaviour.

If your reaction to a 6 year old having a tantrum at school is to call the police, you have no business working in a school or being around children in any capacity.

UNFARE ?

Apparently this kid has been doing this at home without consequence. If she can get away with small act of crime she can get away with big crime on her adult life. Who knows? It’s going around on the streets everywhere. Disciplining starts at home parents!

This is why ACAB. Yes, even the ones you're friends with.

This is just another example of how/why black kids develop a fear and distrust towards cops. By doing this, this 6 yr old will never consider the cops the ‘good guys.’ So things like this have long term consequences. Get the principal to expel/suspend them, but not this.

Kicking a teacher, an adult, anyone is not ok. (unless that person is hurting you, trying to kidnap you etc) But calling the police on a 6 year old creates a lifetime of fear of cops. Where’s the principal? The guidance counselor?

Don’t kick anyone! She needs to be punished! Come on, color has NOTHING to do with it! Just stir the pot mom and dad!

So the little girl has a medical condition that triggers her tantrum and this is how you framed your tweet?And if someone calls you racist for this, I'm sure you'll throw a tantrum without any medical conditions.And even WITHOUT the medical conditions of any kind,this is not okay

Keep this filth out of our schools!

Bootlickers in this thread should try tasting curbs next.

Absofuckinlutely

She should be expelled frpmschool.

My daughter (white) kicked her teacher at the same age. We got a phone call and she missed recess. It was a different time; cops were almost never called to school. It was a small town; the teacher was related. BUT, it still would have ended differently if she was black.

I’m not even going to watch the video. there needs to stricter review of their actions and determine if they are worthy of a badge . Clearly these ones are not.

Parents need to be responsible for the actions of their children!!!! This is what happens when parents don’t whip their butts!!!!

this little girl is being taught that she was in the right and everyone else is in the wrong. As an educator I have seen students destroying the classroom, kicking and biting their teachers. If the school had handled it themselves they would be getting sued right now!

Teachers need to be able to handle a situation like this, period. U don’t call the cops on a 6 year old, this is insane. It might be hard to reason with a child this young in such a stupor, but this is what u have to do, show them right from wrong. It doesn’t involve cuffs

If anybody's kids don't behave in classrooms GET OUT of the school system and go somewhere else. Let our students learn and GET OUT!

No. This isn’t to put on the police. It is the direct result of a very bad parenting. Like my mother used to say: a child who doesn’t behave at home, won’t behave in school. A child who doesn’t behave in school won’t behave at home.

Why bring it up? This was last year saw it and hated it! I’d be in jail if mine! Thought the people involved already in hot water and dealt with.

I got through school never having assaulted a teacher, not very hard

Jesus! In my days an unruly brat, skin color no matter, was escorted by the custodian lady to the principal's office, and yes, sometimes there was a payday on the spot. And the parents were notified. No cops needed. Why war on 6-yr olds? WTF?

She's no heroe and either are the parents. Lets not blow this up with another race riot please. Thanks in advance.

Black, white or purple, unacceptable Wondering how many times a teacher should accept being kicked by uncontrollable kid

This country is a disgraceful failure

The pro-police state comments I’m seeing here are really disheartening. Are we all really okay that the police were involved with a 6-year old throwing a tantrum at school? What crime was committed? I’d sue the school if I was the parents.

Kicked a teacher? At 6? What?

She would not kick another teacher, after my discipline and I am black

I'm always amazed at Liberal Justification for Bad Behavior (be they Black or White). Libs will sit there and justify Antifa Leftists beating Old Ladies cuz 'oRanGe mAn bAd'. No concept of Personal/Parental Responsibility. They gonna haul a White Kid kicking teachers off too

This headline is shameful. About 2/3 the way into the article, it turns to this:

There would be breaking news of a police funeral very shortly after this if that were my daughter. If my kid is acting out, I will handle it. You touch my kid, you're never going to see yours again.

Shameful!

To everyone being literally insane on these comments... She’s 6. Fucking 6. Imagine defending the bastards that CUFFED her. Boot-licking swamp people.

I'm just saying, read the headline, even. Don't be so lazy and quick to judge.

but defund the police is problematic ?!!

No one's going to read the article, huh. Not even the headline. Just the Tweet.

What's really shocking is the 89 Native American School Children Shot and killed at Wounded knee and the 7th Calvary Given the Medal of Honor with a sign saying job well done were to wrapped up with a black child throwing a nasty tantrum and attacking a teacher an then say racism

Why would a 6 year old child think it is ok to kick a teacher? She got what she deserved.

If I had ever kicked a teacher my father would have hauled me away. End of story. White or black no matter.

Some young children can be very violent. Some are totally out of control. It’s not safe for the teacher or other students in the school. If the parents won’t help, the child needs to be moved to another environment.

I'm not buying it. I have read stories about other abusive and out of control kids. Parents need to start teaching their children wrong from right no matter their color. Stop the excuses.🙄

How does the perpetuation of the BS race identities help the problem of racism? These are just ppl, not 'black' or 'white' ppl.

Why is it shocking that a child who committed the act of assault? The laws do not say that they only apply to if your of certain age. Since when are we no longer accountable for our own actions. If that was me as a child, my father would say I deserved it.

Teach this kid self control, Parents!

When parents dont deal with their children's behavioral problems teachers and police have to deal with that, then they get sued. C'mon... that kid didn't die from being handcuffed. She assaulted the teacher! Quit enabling & excusing bad behavior! Discipline starts at home.

Follow the laws, kids. Its not about race, but i get it, agendas.

Um … 6-year-old Kaia Rolle … black … and kick tantrum uppity. She's lucky to get out of there alive once school officials called the cop.

Lock her up. Crack baby I bet!!

Why would a 6 year old kick a a teacher - think it’s ok to kick a teacher? At 6 you know that that is very very wrong .. should she have been arrested - absolutely not .. but that is a very serious matter that should be dealt with by local or state mental health facilities

No Tantrums No problem.

Sometimes parents are very hard to deal with. If teacher calls parents and says their kids is misbehaving, the parents want to beat the teacher up. Maybe her parents are those kind of people. If so then that's where the kid got the behavior from.

There is something we are not mentioning here. The treatment of teachers. I knew a black teacher, absolute sweetheart. She told me how a student spit in her face, and the school did nothing about it & student got away with it. All cuz the school is afraid of being sued.

Even a child is black it is NOT ALLOWED TO HURT TEACHER OR OTHER PEOPLE IN SCHOOL. THIS was the right thing to do!

Have the police been charged with child abuse yet?

Give respect, receive respect.

You cannot tolerate that in any kid.

Raise her right so she ain't kickin teachers at school...I use to be sympathetic to this shit until I spent some time teaching. Some of these kids are actin a plum FOOL in school. The parents need they ass whipped. Lock the parents up for a couple days.

I don't understand why the cops have to be called. What happened to calling the parents and telling them to come and pickup their brat with a few days suspension.

ewhitmore What is wrong with police Would they want they're children treated the way they are treating her?

This has happened to a lot of children of varying ethnicities & especially to Neurodivergent kids & kids w/ mental & emotional issues. Don't make this about race; it isn't about race. It's a wide scope of police brutality against anyone who they consider 'outside the norm.'

No respect for authority! Teach your children well! Follow the Ten Commandments! 👧🏽

Police officer just trying to scare the youngster. Did the parents discipline the brat. Probably not, if the kid behaves like this outside the home. Do your kid a favor, discipline them. They may not like it, but they will thrive on it.

Speak the truth! It's true.

Respect is what is missing in children these days..perfect example Democratic Antifa children spitting on cops ... Growing up if I ever Kicked A teacher... I would not be able to sit down for a week..... Respect, discipline, manors, are No longer taught. Parents fault.

Tell me what 6 yr old doesn't have a tantrum Come on! She's still a baby This should not have happened period! Her teacher shouldn't be a teacher!

Make sure your our of control fucking brat or brats knows how to respect others every day before you send them off to school. Parents should be ashamed of themselves.

Kicking a teacher... that's assault... an arrestable offense. Her behavior is brought about by poor parenting, not skin color.

No way should she have been arrested an handcuffed by police. Iv seen 12 years old robbing car an joyriding an police have just rang the parents to come pick them up

If you teach a very young child that the response to her kicking is being physically hauled off by police, you are teaching her violence. Only in America! Who would cuff a six-year-old girl?

Her parents should be hauled away.

Her parents are the ones who should be arrested. Maybe then it would teach their kid not to assault others and take responsibility for her actions. Teachers can’t touch kids anymore. THATS why the cops were called. Has nothing to do with race!

“You think there was four years of chaos under Trump because the media created said chaos. You’ll think there’s four years of calm under Biden because even if World War III pops off, the media will create the illusion of peace and calm. None of what you see is real.” -Jesse Kelly

Acab

All these opinions but I’m sure none of you have worked with young children. Arresting a six year old child is a disgrace. Regardless of the circumstances.

This student should be expelled

Lack of discipline and consequences are the cause of out of control youth. No spankings have consequences for all of us. Scared straight is sometimes the best option.

lgscotland I taught kindergarten and first grade. My kids had frequent BIG emotions about things. While I sometimes despaired of understanding their behavior - it never would have occurred to me to call the police. Their grandmas, maybe.

Not all children are the same. Some have social, emotional needs. Behavioral issues. You don’t call police on a six year old. You call their parents and a school psychologist. I’ve seen children have issues at school. We have never called police.

Wow...her parents suck !

In my school you would have been paddled with a two by four paddle,with with holes drilled in it for good contact. And then cried at your desk with your head down. Then another whipping when you got home. Society didn’t put up with that BS. No excuses. You controlled yourself.

This is definitely a case where a social worker would have been the better choice. However, I think we're not hearing the full story. Either ABC is completely leaving part of the story out so it fits a larger narrative or the school district is not disclosing due to court case.

So some medical tests tantrums sign of brain abnormalities

You can thank her fabulous mother and father for doing a great job of parenting.

'school officials were already aware that Kaia had sleep apnea and that it was triggering her tantrums.' She shouldn't have been arrested for that tbh maybe a instead of being booked the school could've called the parents & or a school therapist maybe

Pure hogwash

Parents need to teach their children behavior in school

anyone who thinks its ok to arrest a 6yo is stupid. Anyone who makes this about race is stupid. They should have called the parents, tell them to address the issue and if it happens again they will need to pay for her to goto a private school or be homeschooled. case closed.

Okay I will b honest with u I never ever in my life kicked a teacher that is a bad thing to do but arrest was kind of harsh but some sort of punishment by the parents should have been issued for sure!!!!!!

The little girl is six , we supposed to believe the Teacher felt threatened by the child to point Police were called? Ridiculous. Would deal with my daughter, Teacher and School this would not happen again to anyone.

It all depends on attitude and manners! No colors and racist here, if You are mischievous 😏 don’t blamed for anyone, do the right attitude and respect, don’t act like home in school.

And exactly WHY are we dispatching police officers to discipline 6 year olds? What are we expecting the outcome to be? Discipline the people who decided to make this a police matter.

Should of killed that teacher

My 1st instinct was 2 question why a 6yr old wud kick a teacher...but then on balance what would make a 6yr old want to kick a teacher seeing that teacher has the authority in the classroom and is suppose 2B the adult and better able to manage her emotions. 🤔

Mommy needed to whoop that ass and good

And btw schools do this shit all the time if they dont or sometimes cant deal with the child its fucked up but its the way it is....

Good teach her how to respect others. Case closed.

Please consider supporting The Snack Sack: 🍎💗 I cannot continue the work of supporting marginalized individuals and families experiencing food insecurity without you. (MutualAid

I hope all the people saying 'in my day' are old as fuck cuz I'm almost 37 and in my day if a teacher tried to touch us then my mom would be handling some business

race card alert!

Don’t kick people and you won’t get hauled away by the police. It really is that simply.

Some people think they don't have to follow the rules.

Back in my day, I just got sent to the principal’s office if I threw a tantrum. Then again, I’m white. This is ghastly. That kid didn’t deserve that.

Not worth a Comment!

The parents should also be “Hauled Away.) Seems they have not taught their child respect for the Teacher or anyone in authority. If this girl isn’t given “Hickory Tea,” this is JUST THE START OF PROBLEMS!

Until my daughter was diagnosed with autism she was labeled as having a 'bad attitude'. Teachers never took the time to consider she might have a learning disability. That's why I wrote Cameron Goes To School so educators could see that Black girls have special needs too!

US future = no freedom of speech, no gun rights, no property rights, cashless society so they track your every movement, can't leave your house without saying you can. Your too dumb to make your own decisions because the elites are smarter. The Gov't will have no opposition.

When my dad was a teacher (now retired) a kid took a swing at him and ran out the door. It was a special needs kid so my dad had the carry the kid back under his arm. No cops called, just guidance counsors and parents...the way it should be

Maybe the real situation here is, why is a 6 year old assaulting a teacher.

I had 4 kids and none of them ever kicked a teacher in a tantrum..but of course let's make it about color since she's black and condone kicking a teacher since she's black...perfect

defundthepolice means no more money for this.

So she doesn’t know how to control her temper or behave ?

Does the shocking video show the whole story or just when the police grab her?

Kicking teachers at 6 years old. Future looks bright

A parental problem....

🙄

Principle are supposed to be trained in dealing with kids being kids. If a school principle feels it necessary to call the cops for a childhood tantrum, they need a career change.

In my day, teacher would have whooped girls behind and told parents why she got said whooping. End of story🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

Why did she kick a teacher ? Had she been told not to disrespects her teacher ?

What? No? Surely not in the country where slavery and genocide happened...

Kicking a teacher is NEVER ok!

Huh? She assaulted a teacher!

Lmao you’re crying cause your kid got suspended for kicking a teacher?!? TEACH YOUR KID SOME MANORS

Good... Parents raised her wrong

This is so sad, for everyone involved.

In my day the teacher just whooped your ass then called home and when you got home you got it again cuz you got in trouble at school.

MOTIVATION FRIDAYS

Let’s go through this again, ask yourself what would happen if this were a white girl?

make the parents come get the kids each time they act up. Maybe parents will get tired of dealing and correct behaviors

That the school requires police intervention to control a 6 year old is out of all proportion. This has more to do with the decision making of the school principal. Black, white, asian, the question is about the use of police in such a circumstance against 6 year old.

Any cop that arrest 6 year olds is a piece of 💩 That's what parents are for, my daughter had a temper tantrum 1 time a good paddling put a stop to that to this day she knows no means no

The police are not to blame for this. The schools call them and have morphed into intolerant institutions rather than places of learning. Zero tolerance policies can't apply to young kids.

In no situation should a six year old be getting arrested at school... What the fuck is wrong with our country?

An officer have no right to put his hands on a child period.

A 6 year old, unlike all the adults involved here, can’t fully reason or understand her emotions. Why were the police even called?

Don't kick teachers. Blame the parents.

Leave her in jail for the night.

Teacher should of went to the doctor afterwards. And sent the child to the principals office. The principal should call the parents to come pick up their daughter. I can’t help to think this isn’t the first time this little girl acted out in bad behavior. Principal hasn’t done J

Assaulting a police officer is a crime!

I love how many of the comments are defending the use of cops to deal with a six-year-old child. Please god tell me none of you are parents, teachers or have any interactions with children at all.

This is bullshit. If you are so useless that you have to call police over a 6 year olds tantrum, you shouldn’t be in education.

These are the police defended by Kelly and David. No police office should discipline a young girl for misbehaving in school.

Lot of childhood development experts in this thread I see

WTF

This is disgusting and so traumatic for a 6 year old. As a parent I would be fuming. I have a 13 year old I’m still having to send to his room for tantrums.

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Teach them young that you can’t assault people.

kid kicks a teacher and it's the schools fault

She’s been watching too many Antifa BLM riots.

Let me guess-this isn't the first incident with this child in her school.

Are they more likely to physically attack? Physically act out

I don’t see anything wrong with it tbh. Kicking a teacher is next level disciplinary action for me.

horrible

Stop making everything about race. Why don’t they say that kids who don’t have any respect for authority, have no discipline and think they are entitled to a free pass in school because of the no child left behind policy get suspended more often. You are welcome.

🤔

You ever see two black girls fight in school? Funny stuff!

Are these girls being unfairly disciplined because of their race, or because of their behavior?

What black girls need is father figures in their home did the study look into that?

This is bs to me and makes no kind of sense and i am sorry an apologize for this bs....i know it doesn’t help....sorry

go to an inner city school, you will figure it out

Nobody got suspended more than me, and I was the minority in school.

Commit crimes, do the time

🤣🤣🤣 my apologies to everyone for my initial response I just read who and what this article is based off of. Omg!! My apologies. I should have kept scrolling. ABC YOU GOT ME 🤣🤣🤣🤣. GOOD ONE!!!

I’ve worked in inner city schools. There are many great kids who want to learn. Unfortunately, there are kids who are destroyed by age 5. It would be great if the families who value education didn’t have to deal with evacuation everyday because of tables being thrown.

Stop sending your kids to these public schools if you can help it.

oh the instigators it's amazing

What is the reason ?

Watch the documentary FilmPushout about the criminalization of black girls.

Ifb instantly..I'm online let's follow each other

Maybe they could try sitting down and paying attention, you don't get kick out for that. But I wouldnt put my kids it the school system anyway

Not if they are raised right

Why?

Black families have to stop placing blame on others and own up to it- before they start throwing the race card.

There are so many points in this study you have to ignore to make this the headline the main idea of the study.

It isn't because of skin color. Many more black children come from single parent families. That situation strains the entire family. President Trump is working to insure a better economic opportunity for black communities.

Black people are more likely to come from broken homes as well. So broken homes contribute to misbehaving children. How about instead of blaming administrations, we provide help for broken families?

I don't believe they were strip search.

they article dont do the thing you think they do! real real life situations matter much more

...Here’s a racist, there’s a racist, everywhere a racist racist Old ABC decides to tweet, eeyai eeyai oh!

B U L L S H I T

maybe, just maybe, it’s got nothing to do with race and everything to do with black families losing fathers (over 70%) and the culture they have insinuated into their daily lives

Because they start she. No home training. Instead of teaching them respect and live all people they teach them how twerk.

Why is this? 72% of black children are raised by single moms. This community is in a crisis & we need to help them rather than scream racism every 5 minutes. CorruptABC TruthMatters

Another biased news article

Students only pass when you do the work, not sit back crack jokes , cut class.Fact is Black Kids Rather Look Good Then Be Smart White Rather be smart then look good • Fact is more blacks sell drugs & bring down other students in school because they think it’s cool •

Are you suggesting race is a indicator of behavior?

Tough News But Not A Suprise Anyone of Color or Different Background or not a A+ Student

Because they are less likely to follow rules!! Simple to fix. Follow rules don't get suspended.

Why don’t you do a follow up on this story ABC “News”?

And the insinuation is that it is 100% attributable to racism, right?

what about asians, latinos? there r other groups here. a broader picture would be helpful before determining every difference is malicious discrimination...

Et ça vous étonne aux USA pays raciste

Racist left wing teachers!

Does that mean that black girls act bad in school more?

How about the white girls who act black?

Shiiitt... Wonder why they can't behave?

This victim hood you guys are associating with us is ridiculous.

Strange, our education system is flooded with leftists.... how is this even possible? 😡 I thought they were all about love and acceptance....

These tyoe of stats are very real and not new! The stats and data towards Blacks are usually negative and disproportionate! This crap has always been the case! Question is, will it ever change for the positive? Nope, not if racism isn't addressed in its totality!

There's also Chapter 13 in Murray & Herrnstein's book 'The Bell Curve.'

For the same behaviors?

Can we please do a nyc subway study and ask riders how many times they’ve been harassed/ assaulted by white ppl vs black ppl? Personally I’ve been harassed/assaulted about 3 dozen times by black ppl and no one of any other race ever.

This is the same thinking that got us into a bit of trouble down in Florida, if I recall correctly. Sounds really good, on paper, right before an election though. You know, in case you’re trying to sub divide the country by race or class to bolster your chances to win.

If the news media is always placing people in a segregated way how would there be any change?

Suspensions make it less likely student will graduate

I don't think it's their color it's their actions

are they deserving of suspension?

The left have become radical. The press is compromised. . Biden is lying, he’s making money from communist China. Biden can not be trusted with foreign policy and cannot become president.

Oldlady12345 HIDEOUS!!!! How can this be happening in a 'civilized' society?

School choice activated‼

Bet dey dindu nuffin!

It was not like this in 70's , everyone got along

That's because they play up five times more than white girls.

BS

Many of these children are being raised by their moms... authority figures don't exist in many of their lives.

No surprise at all. Born criminals?

You no what you really cares anymore of course now people are going to play the race card on this one too right that's bull shit now kids today want to act like there though gangster and fight over stupid stuff and that's because of the rap music that there listen to it's garbage

This is ridiculous and must stop

I agree, the white girl that smashed my daughters hand, who is mexican and black. Got no consequences after admitting she closed the door on my daughters fingers on purpose. I’m sure it’s wouldn’t have been the same if it was the other way around.

That is not a ‘racist’ problem, it is a parenting problem.

What is the ratio B/W at this racist school we are discussing? And where is it?

Blame the white man. This is getting tiresome and making matters worse

Don’t act a fool and you won’t get suspened

Please be respectful. The use of the word 'Black' to refer to human beings is downright, racist. Please write: 'Afro-American girls' or people of non European appearance...etc

What does this article mean!? Just like when saying that blacks are incarcerated too much but not mentioning the fact that they commit more crimes per capita, stop stirring the pot abc

No, it’s because black children (through no fault of their own) are 3 times as likely to grow up without a father in the home. Until we face and address the root cause, this problem will never be solved.

It's all about behaviour. Race or color has nothing to do with it.

Have you been around teenage black girls

That’s most likely because many black women like to fight and walk around with chip on their shoulder like they’re something above rules while most White girls are very welcoming and ready to help anyone..!!

What is the ratio of white girls to black girls in schools? Probably about 5x.

🙄🙄🙄

Do to breaking rules! Same rules for everyone. Maybe that should start at home.

Sick. And then they say equality exists

That pattern is long standing if they see Black folk advancing POSITIVE powers that b will react NEGATIVE

Must be fixed!

Study shows more people need to be spanked in school.

This is such a crappy job of reporting. You never make clear that the issue is that Black children are disciplined more harshly than white children *for the same behavior*, and there's plenty of evidence that this is true.

they need to attend betsy devos and Trump schools, they are the best, every blacks love them, absolutely.

there is a big reason for it that the media doesnt seem to want to tell you. they only want you to think its only skin color by the way they word their titles. they werent raised right and not let their emotions lash out, ie they are more violent and get suspended more.

We all know how they act...

Seems like a worthless study.

Black girl/woman newest racial/ethnic category? Census Bureau!

Still pushing the divide, bravo!

I'm a contractor for Chicago public schools , the constant fights are really bad, I really do feel sorry for the kids , I want them to do better and succeed but it seems impossible for them, they seem lost , they literally have to fight their way through school.

I have a strong feeling that it is more than simply the color of their skin...

I don't believe it.

They’re also 10x more likely to engage in violent behavior

They should try keeping their mouths shut and following the schools rules. Seems to work for everyone else.

They break 10 times more rules so they come out ahead.

Now do beaheadings around the world.. 😔 🤦🏻‍♂️ 🤷🏻‍♂️

Weird right

Well, I don’t see white girls throwing chairs, attacking other students and generally causing a ruckus.

I used to work at a high school if you bring drugs into the school or get into a fight or tell the teacher to F themselves you’re automatically suspended doesn’t matter what color you are

They should behave then. It’s simple.

Bahah such a racist statement...

In my child’s high school that info would be incorrect.

Always about race send your kids to church where they find out about God and love. Im 74 back in our day you went church. Kids dont even know about God now. Not all kids but alot.

Are they five times more likely to break school rules? I mean come on, you are telling me the most liberal institutions in the country are just saying “f*** it, just gonna suspend a black girl today!” People that believe this garbage never graduated...

Yet we had a black president and Oprah is a billionaire. Stop. Just stop.

Can’t help thinking that your singling this out might be a little racist. You don’t know what’s going on in their home/personal lives. Why draw attention to it?

Here come all the white liberals trying to be the saviors of minorities saying how we're oppressed

It doesn’t appear that you have ever observed a multiracial high school.

Why all the racist shit y'all pump out in a regular? Go do some real research

Black girls at my school were a lot more likely than white girls to start fights and constantly disrupt class. Maybe behavior has something to do with it and nothing to do with race.

You don’t have anything better to report ? 🙄

That’s why you homeschool if you can

Its called THE SYSTEM OF WHITE SUPREMACY....this is by design

Don't break the rules. Just saying.
