I posted this today. Sunk like a stone.

It needs to be read.



This here...

"What we found was exactly what we expected based on the rates at which children are expelled from preschool programs," Gilliam says. "Teachers looked more at the black children than the white children, and they looked specifically more at the African-American boy.

Indeed, according to recent data from the U.S. Department of Education, black children are 3.6 times more likely to be suspended from preschool than white children. Put another way, black children account for roughly 19 percent of all preschoolers, but nearly half of preschoolers who get suspended.


They want answers anywhere they can get them, so they make them up and penalize the innocents to make it so.

"If you look for something in one place, that's the only place you can typically find it."

Methinks they should look deeply into themselves. A mirror perhaps before you judge.
