The Young Activists Coalition has been making similar demands for nearly a year, citing disproportionate discipline used against Black students.
Recent data from the ACLU of Ohio show Black students in CPS are five times more likely to face discipline than white students.
While Black students are 63% of the student population, they make up 93% of out-of-school suspensions, 89% of police referrals, 85% of in-school suspensions, and 78% of expulsions.
The protest was planned after the group says it was not allowed to present data about SROs at Monday s Health and Safety Committee meeting. Young Activists Coalition President Yousuf Munir says this happened despite members of the Health and Safety Committee encouraging the group to speak.

CINCINNATI (FOX19) - The Cincinnati Public Schools Board of Education unanimously approved an anti-racism policy Wednesday evening, according to board member Mike Moroski.
The policy outlines general changes to the district’s curriculum, employee and student discipline procedures, extra-curricular activities and hiring and recruiting.
It also envisions district-wide annual anti-racism training.
Policy 2256 (Anti-Racism Policy) has unanimously passed. It is now official policy of Cincinnati Public Schools that we reject all forms of racism as destructive to the District’s mission, vision, values, and goals. There is much work to be done, but this is a big step. Mike Moroski (@mike moroski) December 16, 2020
