Charter schools are four times more likely to suspend black students than their white peers.

Charter schools suspend students at a much higher rate than non-charter schools, some of which have suspension rates north of 70 percent. But a disproportionate amount of those suspensions fall on black students, who are four times more likely to be suspended than white students, and students with disabilities, who are twice as likely to be suspended as their non-disabled peers.

Those are just some of the inequities highlighted in a blistering new analysis from researchers at the Center for Civil Rights Remedies at the University of California, Los Angeles.

This article suggests that they didn't deserve the punishment they received and that's racism folks! We need to learn from these statistics, identify the root causes and deal with them, not blame one side or the other about some statistics, by the way that are true!

The inequities highlighted in this article only exist in the mind of a racist. You are relying on these statistics to make a case for racism and saying that they're true but you refuse to see that maybe there is another cause to the inequity other than racism. You people are so quick to shout racism because you have no answer for what the true problem is or choose not to deal with it at all!
