African-American Boys Receive Less Attention, Lower Grades And Harsher Punishment In School
A recent study by the Yale University Child Study Center shows that Black children — especially boys — no matter their family income, receive less attention, harsher punishment and lower marks in school than their White counterparts from kindergarten all the way through college. A subsequent article published in “The Washington Post” reported that Black children in the Washington, D.C. area are suspended or expelled two to five times more often than White children. It’s a national trend that needs to be addressed. Judith Browne Dianis, co-director of the Advancement Project joined Roland Martin on Washington Watch to discuss this disturbing trend.And this is why we’re those super involved parents. No volunteering or PTA, but you will see me at every conference & several times a quarter. Unless there’s a problem & then you’ll see me a lot more than that.
Yo. This is very important! I have been looking for the actual report, and I haven’t been able to find it. But from state to state, Black children receive harsher punishments than other children.
My professor said that the report was ready to come out a year or two ago, but Republicans blocked it’s release because its past title (I can’t quite remember the old title) was “controversial.” To that I say, the fucking results are controversial!
