#1 At one public school down in Texas, a 12-year-old girl named Sarah Bustamantes was recently arrested for spraying herself with perfume.
#2 A 13-year-old student at a school in Albuquerque, New Mexico was recently arrested by police for burping in class.
#3 Another student down in Albuquerque was forced to strip down to his underwear while five adults watched because he had $200 in his pocket. The student was never formally charged with doing anything wrong.
#4 A security guard at one school in California broke the arm of a 16-year-old girl because she left some crumbs on the floor after cleaning up some cake that she had spilled.
#5 One teenage couple down in Houston poured milk on each other during a squabble while they were breaking up. Instead of being sent to see the principal, they were arrested and sent to court.
#6 In early 2010, a 12-year-old girl at a school in Forest Hills, New York was arrested by police and marched out of her school in handcuffs just because she doodled on her desk. “I love my friends Abby and Faith” was what she reportedly scribbled on her desk.
#7 A 6-year-old girl down in Florida was handcuffed and sent to a mental facility after throwing temper tantrums at her elementary school.
#8 One student down in Texas was reportedly arrested by police for throwing paper airplanes in class.
#9 A 17-year-old honor student in North Carolina named Ashley Smithwick accidentally took her father’s lunch with her to school. It contained a small paring knife which he would use to slice up apples. So what happened to this standout student when the school discovered this? The school suspended her for the rest of the year and the police charged her with a misdemeanor.
#10 In Allentown, Pennsylvania a 14-year-old girl was tasered in the groin areaby a school security officer even though she had put up her hands in the air to surrender.

Yeah back in my day whenever a student misbehaved s(he) would get detention or extra homework, or worst case be sent to the principal's office. Now they just call the cops on you.

So prior to this news video you did not know that black children were being suspended/expelled excessively and unnecessarily? Or did you hear about it and not believe the claims of discrimination? Serious questions. :thinking:

Probably this. People don't believe anything unless CNN/MSNBC/Fox does a presentation on the subject. People can't think for themselves.
@kermit da hustla
but this form of institutionalized racism being practiced on black kids shouldn't matter, right?

A comment from a PAWG
Black children are not targeted, they are shockingly misbehaved compared to white students.
I mean what 4 year old hits their teacher?
This is because in many many Black homes...there has been no father for generations *Side note: Even tho the child in the video clearly has a father present at home.* and the Government is the Daddy and Black's have their own culture.
However, I think it's outrageous for any little child to be suspended. But today's Public Schooling requires absolute obedience,a ZeroTolerance Policy for all children no matter their color. Many many, Elementary School children are being suspended and even arrested for drawing on their desk,or eating a pop top that ends of looking like a gun,etc.
And when you have a Zero Tolerance Policy about behavior...Black children will be suspended more than white children because of their culture and home life. I saw this with my own eyes when my son was in First Grade. All 9 Black children in his class couldn't behave at all.They sat on the floor, they tipped their chairs over, they sat or leaned on the tipped over chairs, they walked up the aisles, they fought each other, talked to each other and made fun of each other and laughed at each other during class. *Biitch you just described every playful child in this planet...smh. Thanks for proving the videos point. Cac teachers like you see things with an anti-black bias.* And this was going on every time I, as a Room Mother, was there. It was strange.

All But One of the Hundreds of Kids Sent to Adult Court by Chicago Prosecutors Are Children of Color
May 23, 2014
A report by the Juvenile Justice Initiative finds that when prosecutors instead of judges decide which children should be treated as adults in Cook County criminal court, they overwhelming choose children of color.
Before 1982, any child 13 or older could be tried in adult court in Illinois on any charge if a juvenile court judge decided transfer to adult court was appropriate in a particular case. On average, 57 children were transferred annually to adult court, 48 percent of them for murder charges. Sixty-eight percent of kids transferred by judges were African American.
In 1982, Illinois lawmakers shifted the transfer decision from judges to prosecutors by automatically trying kids as young as 13 in adult court once prosecutors charge them with certain felony offenses. The change increased the number of kids in adult court and had a disproportionate impact on minority youth.
The most recent data shows that from 2010 to 2012, an average of 86 children were prosecuted as adults each year, most for non-homicide offenses; only 13 percent were charged with murder. Although just 44 percent of Cook County youth are African American, 83 percent of kids that prosecutors sent directly to adult court were African American. Sixteen percent were Hispanic. Of all 257 children, only one was white.
Most of the kids automatically sent to adult court were from the south side and west side of Chicago; only 18 percent came from outside the city. Cook County is responsible for almost all of the automatic transfers in the state; in 2001, prosecutors in the rest of Illinois transferred only 14 children total.
Prosecutors' charging decisions in these cases often fail to track the seriousness of the offense: more than half (54 percent) of the automatic transfer cases result in convictions for lesser offenses that would not have triggered automatic transfer. Yet only four of these kids received a juvenile sentence.
The authors report that research conducted over the past three decades consistently shows that more and more kids have been transferred to adult court without a corresponding deterrent effect. Indeed, a 2007 research review by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) concluded that merely processing a child's case in adult court rather than juvenile court increases the likelihood that the child will re-offend. Children prosecuted as adults are more likely to commit new offenses, and more serious ones, than children with similar records tried in juvenile court for the same crimes.
Children prosecuted as adults are much more likely to commit suicide, and kids incarcerated in adult prisons are five times more likely to be sexually assaulted and twice as likely to be violently attacked by inmates or staff. EJI believes confinement of children with adults in jails and prisons is indefensible, cruel, and unusual, and it should be banned.
Illinois is one of only 14 states with such extreme transfer laws. The report urges lawmakers to return juvenile transfer decisions to judges to ensure better outcomes for children, victims, taxpayers, and public safety.
and napoleons first response?
