MORE ON 'ZERO TOLERANCE' |
In case you missed it...
...an article from three weeks ago submitted by a loyal reader:
From the Washington Post
Holder, Duncan announce national guidelines on school discipline
CAT Tracks Editor's Note:
The final quote in the article attributed to Arne Duncan:
More damn blame heaped upon hard-working but overwhelmed educators!
Au contraire, Mr. Secretary...
...the disparity is caused by "differences in children".
No, not because of the color of their skin...
...but because of the devastating impact of poverty and broken families upon children of all hues and shades.
Mr. Secretary, you need to stop pointing the finger of blame and do something constructive...
...be part of the solution, as they say.
So...
Next time you are playing basketball with POTUS, score a point by saying: "Ya know, Barry, educators might have something with this "poverty thing."
"That huge disparity is not caused by differences in children," he said. "It is caused by differences in training, professional development and discipline policies."
