ARE PUBLIC SCHOOLS FAILING BLACK BOYS, OR ARE THEIR PARENTS FAILING THEM?

According to a recent article, The Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights received nearly 7,000 complaints this fiscal year, an 11 percent increase and the largest jump in at least 10 years, according to data provided by the department. The increase comes as the office proceeds with 54 compliance reviews in districts and institutions of higher education nationwide, including cases involving disparate discipline rates and treatment of students with disabilities. It is one thing for public schools to single out black boys because they have the authority to do so. But in far too many cases, the parent(s) of these boys ALLOWED their sons to misbehave at early ages AT HOME and to expect them to behave away FROM HOME, is utter STUPIDITY. http://newsone.com/nation/casey-gane-mccalla/critics-say-education-system-for-black-children-is-school-to-prison-pipeline/?omcamp=EMC-CVNL
