AUSTIN (KXAN) Beginning in the fall, the Austin Independent School District will be significantly scaling back the way it disciplines children who act up.
The goal is to reduce racial disparities, which show Black and brown students are being disproportionately punished compared to their white classmates.
According to data compiled by the district, Black children at AISD were nearly five times more likely than their white peers to receive disciplinary action, include suspensions, being placed at a disciplinary campus or being expelled.
These articles never cite other cities that Do It Better. I actually can imagine that Austin has a bigger race gap in discipline than, say, Huntington, WV because Austin attracts many successful, intelligent whites. Really bad racial gaps in school behavior are seen in places like Madison, WI because they have attracted academic and civil servant whites plus welfare mother blacks.
