(100PERCENTFEDUP) -- A school board in Washington state has voted to adopt race-based discipline, meaning the level of discipline a student receives is based on their race. This means that discipline will no longer be given to students on the basis of behavior, but rather white students will be punished more harshly in the classroom than minorities regardless of one’s conduct.
The Clover Park School District, a district made up of 28% white students, held a board meeting on March 14, at which they voted on a new policy for “cultural discipline”. The policy was passed through by a vote of 3-2.
At this meeting, it was asked that someone further explain the idea of “culturally responsive discipline”. Deputy Superintendent Brian Laubach tried to explain, saying, “Essentially they’re referring there, that you look at ‘are you dispersing discipline across the ethnicities, the racial groups equitably,’ right? So, are you disciplining African-American boys more than you’re disciplining white boys, right? So, are you paying attention to all of that in your data?”
