Racially Sensitive ‘Restorative’ School Discipline Isn’t Behaving Very Well | RealClearInvestigations

Gail Heriot, a commissioner on the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, says advocates wrongly dismiss evidence that shows behavior, rather than bias, better explains the disparity in suspensions. This includes her follow commissioners, whom Heriot took to task in a dissent to a 2019 report claiming that students of color don t commit more disciplinable offenses.

Sometimes people simply neglect what s clear from the data, says Heriot, a professor at the University of San Diego School of Law. It seems to me that woke-ism is a large part of why people reject the data.

Do blacks and Latinos fight more because some live in communities torn apart by poverty, violence and gangs, and bring these animosities with them into schools?
