It hasn't happened yet, but there are talks.
CARD: I was upset about multiple things. Primarily the emphasis on disciplining by race and having measurable goals, I’m using their words, measurable goals to decrease discipline for specifically Black students. That's bothered me. Also, another thing that really stuck out was that they want to measure goals for academic success of Black and Hispanic students. There’s no talk about all students, all races, all genders. It’s very specific, and so those are two of the things that really stood out.
This story is flying under the radar. I think people keep trying to merge two opposing issues, and it won't work.
The first issue is real racism.
The second issue is wanting to correct the first one with REAL racism.
To make my point clear, are there some racist teachers, yes of course. Are they the root cause of all these students getting disciplined, of course not.

The real problem:
Hyperbolic politicians and media.

No. I've lived it. I taught in an urban school.
They don't know how to show up on time for class; how to sit still and be quiet; they have no respect for themselves, others, property, or their teachers; and they do not know how to come consistently. There are others, but these are all markers of the urban class of pretty much every race. There are also exceptions of every race too - those poor kids whose parent(s) are working hard to make it and working hard to make sure their kids make it, but there are far too few of them to make the difference in most classrooms.

I think discrimination would be a more fitting description than racism (this is the case 95% of the time).
But yes... They are being openly discriminatory.

Of course that's where this is headed; its just too early to see the end game because the kids are too young.
Obviously the way this works is that when faced with these conditions, Anglo and Asian parents (Asian is classified as White by the Woke Classifiers) will take their kids out of the public schools, leaving only the governent's favored races or tribes in the public schools. This is already happening on a large scale in Texas.
So, what happens ten to 15 years down the road when the White/Asian kids want to go to University? Well per an article I read last week, the message of the Uni's to the Public School systems on the East Coast has been to pursue Equity and Critical Race theory in K-!2 so they are ready for the University environment, i.e. pre-programmed.
So the White/Asian kids who went to private acadamey's or home schooled will find it impossible to go to Uni in the US, (or Canada) because they missed the programming.
They will be forced out of the country for an education. South America had been a big target till Covid; France will take them if they can speak French; Germany, Spain, etc.
You may think this bizaare or impossible but MHP, (Mellisa Harris Perry) an MSM host often and publicly stated that the goal of these people is to make the US the New South Africa and to do that, they need the white people to leave!
And they will and....they are.

The real problem:
Kids who get to school lacking the necessary social skills and training to be students. This is a problem that begins in the home and it's generational now.

We have a metric ton of so-called social solutions now, and none of them work.
So, yeah, maybe not having kids is actually the answer. If a person, or two people for that matter, can't be responsible for themselves, then why are we thinking it's perfectly OK for them to have kids and bring more people into the picture?
Very early on in our marriage, my husband and I went to the welfare office just to see if there was a program that could temporarily help us over a hard spell. Do you know what we were told? The only way we could qualify for any aid was if I were pregnant! Talk about sending the wrong message. Here we were, not able to take care of ourselves, but the only way to get any aid was to bring in a third. Get paid for a baby.

And prejudiced. The term "racist/racism" has been so overused that people have grown complacent on the real meaning of it.

Yeah, some people forget that racists believe “that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others,” says one dictionary. Yet, as is noted in The World Book Encyclopedia, researchers “have not discovered any scientific basis for such claims of [racial] superiority.” The gross injustices that racism fosters, such as people’s systematic denial of rights to fellow humans (racial discrimination), are painful evidence that racism rests on falsehoods and fallacies. ...
