Race-based discipline in Tucson schools
Warning, if you are a parent with children in the TUSD school district, this will make your head explode. Today, Tucson’s school district hit the national scene, unfortunately for all the wrong reasons.
Tucson schools create race-based system of discipline.
…The board is calling for a two-tiered form of student discipline. One for Black and Hispanic students; one for everyone else.
With the goal of creating a “restorative school culture and climate” that conveys a “sense of belonging to all students,” the board is insisting that its schools reduce its suspensions and/or expulsions of minority students to the point that the data reflect “no ethnic/racial disparities.”
From the section of the 52-page plan titled “Restorative School Culture and Climate,” subhead, “Discipline”:
“School data that show disparities in suspension/expulsion rates will be examined in detail for root causes. Special attention will be dedicated to data regarding African-American and Hispanic students.”
The board approved creating an “Equity Team” that will oversee the plan to ensure “a commitment to social justice for all students.”
The happy-face edu-speak notwithstanding, what the Tucson Unified School District board of governors has approved this summer is a race-based system of discipline.
Offenses by students will be judged, and penalties meted out, depending on the student’s hue.
Anytime you see the words social justice in any report, you know that we are in deep weeds.
Arizona’s schools rank near the bottom of practically every measured category in the United States. This one won’t help a bit. You can call the brilliant minds at the Tucson Unified School District at 520-225-6000 to share your thoughts on “social justice”.

News flash and no big surprise, but Congressional hack Raul Grijalva’s daughter is on the TUSD school board.

Racism racism everywhere I turn. Only it’s always from the liberals.
so we can disipline the blacks, and hispanic’s, then all the rest. does that include the asians, europians, and americans? What about the Indians? (american) how about the middle easterners? I have a different culture than you, what about my kids?
I am so confused
What a bunch of retards. Black, white, red or green shouldn’t matter. If they’re a pain in the @ss and disruptive to the teaching/learning process get rid of them.
Bring back the paddle. That’d take care of a lot of these problems.
@Idiots I get what you are trying to say, but I am offended by your use of the word “retards.” We all know that Retarded people have more sense and humanity than the whole bunch of liberals put together. Please don’t insult handicapped people by comparing them to liberals.
And @PT Hue know what really chaps me is that the real “minority students” at TUSD happen to have the hue of white. Hue know what else makes me angry, most of TUSD speaks English as a second language.
So what’s really happening is the “Equipo De Equidad” is going to play nice to those who speak the right hue. Hue know what I mean, ese?
Makes me sad.
this is barely any different than the affirmative action and probably based on the same ideological basis.
Why don’t schools teach reading, writing and arithmetic, geometry, etc, and history (not the sugar coated garbage version), and forget trying to use kids as guinea pigs in a bunch of stupid failed social experiments. It’s a failure. Kids these days are empty, cold, unfeeling CONSUMERS with no empathy or compassion. They do not question authority, and are perfect nazi youth candidates.
I think most parent send their kid to school for the above subjects listed, not to earn about how little Maddie had two freaking daddies. Or how we can help out our illustrious leaders by doing whatever they tell us. It’s not education anymore it’s conditioning, brainwashing, PC crap. What next? Should we just randomly pick a white kid and the minorities beat him or her half to death so they can “feel better about themselves” since at seven they remember all those lynch mobs or the fact that their parents are hostile, entitled freeloading law breakers that don’t belong in this country? CLASS ACTION SUIT. It’s called discrimination, esp since we know what group of kid’s parents are paying all the taxes for the schools. *sniff*.
At the end of WWII in Europe we competed with the Russians to hire all the top Nazi political officers and scientists. The federal department of education was run by a former Nazi scientist for 2 decades. Many major university, think tank and government political positions were occupied by former Nazi higher ups for 30 years after WWII ended. Why are you surprised that our children are perfect Nazi youth candidates? We did not defeat the Nazi regime, we just hired them!
