I only learned this a couple of years ago, some people are no better mannered than wolves and have to be treated as such. The only discipline they understand is physical.

Nice try, but as I said, where in the EO does it "tell schools not to discipline black students for bad behaviour"?
The answer is that it doesn't.

The answer is that it doesn't.
It doesn't even matter, but go ahead and keep intentionally missing the point. The EO is racist. It singles out one group (AA's) over all else. So the EO either needs to:
a.) No longer exist
or
b.) Be completely re-written to reflect ALL disadvantaged children.
It's not rocket science. If you can't grasp the concept then there's nothing more I can say to you.
Could the EO have said "equal and fair punishment for ALL children?" It could've, and in this politically correct world, it probably should've, as it upset every GOP in the country, but it doesn't. But even in the language and word choice that it uses, I still don't see racism.
blacks be punished the same as whites,since they, at the moment, are not.

Poorly written? Sure.
Racist? Not at all.
I've made this point before, but I'll stress it again, as I believe many don't quite understand "racism."

That's just total BS, and I guess that's where your whole premise completely falls apart.
Edit to add: and I'm not "GOP", I don't vote left or right (see sig) so you don't get to play that card with me.edit on 11-8-2013 by Wookiep because: (no reason given)

I think I just puked in my mouth! Does Obama think that bad behavior in our black youth is hereditary or something? I believe everything comes down to parental guidance. When you have bad parents, you’ll obviously have bad kids.
Maybe Obama can hand out the following when a black kid robs a bank or kills another person...
We have got to put our opinions and feelings aside when it comes to what we think of another specific group. ALL Americans have got to come together to fight the good fight. Republicans, Democrats, conservatives, liberals, homosexuals, heterosexuals, Christians, atheists. ALL colors or and creeds. All Americans have got to unite under one banner. One flag. The American flag! Obama is just a puppet, and there are much greater powers at work pulling the strings. We need to put our energy towards the ones who really have the power. Congress, Federal Reserve, NSA, IRS, lobbyists, big business, etc... Our government wants to see us fighting amongst one another. We have got to stand together, or this great country will fall. If we don’t unite as Americans, if we don’t fight, the day will come where we wished we had. Our rights, our freedoms, are being taken away from ALL Americans. America is at the brink, and bickering about one specific group is not going to get us anywhere. Democrats are just as bad as Republicans. Republicans are just as bad as Democrats.
gotta love conservatives. there's no completely manufactured pile of bull# they won't have a grand ole' freak out over.

Pardon me for not reading all 23 pages of the thread.......oops 24
...reducing the dropout rate of African American students and helping African American students graduate from high school prepared for college and a career, in part by promoting a positive school climate that does not rely on methods that result in disparate use of disciplinary tools.
I did read the EO, but I was making the point that a lot of blacks are getting a free ride because of their color. I work in an I.S. department, and the company had to hire some African Americans because there were not enough blacks working for the company, and some idiot brought up the race card. Now I am having to work overtime because the idiots we hired can’t do the work. AND they know full well that if someone does bring up their inability to do the job, they will be called racists!!
Someone hasn't read the EO.

If issues within the Black-American community concern you, head to YouTube and do a search for "tommy sotomayor".
Tommy Sotomayor provides a jarring perspective on society and racism. He releases at least two videos everyday. On some days, he's released as much as seven. His videos can be downright hilarious, but he can also be serious. He does, in fact, appear to be... the SPARK... for a positive cultural revolution in the Black community.
No matter what race you are, issues within the Black community should concern you. Because the Black community appears to be the dumping ground of the human race's psyche. Black communities have the most crime and the most poverty. In order for the entire human race to evolve to the next level, these issues must be resolved; otherwise we will remain in stasis.
