There are schools across the country that currently have a problem with disruptive and sometimes violent students.
It seems like every other week a video of a violent school beating goes viral on social media.
California is considering a bill that would prohibit schools from suspending disruptive students, as the suspension is allegedly discriminatory.

California can ban schools from suspending unruly students because it’s allegedly discriminatory
The California Senate is considering a bill that would prohibit schools from suspending disruptive and defiant students. The reasoning behind the law is that such suspensions disproportionately affect black students.
This ban on holding students accountable for misbehavior would apply to charter schools and public schools alike, from grades 1 to 12.
What are the details?
State Sen. Nancy Skinner (D) introduced SB-274 on Feb. 1, which was referred to the Education Committee on Thursday.
The bill would prevent students in grades 1-12 from being suspended for “disrupting school activities or otherwise willfully defying the valid authority of superintendents, teachers, administrators, school officials or other school personnel engaged in the performance of their duties.”
In addition to giving a pass to disruptive and unruly students who disrupt classes and make it difficult for other students to learn, Skinner’s Law also prohibits the suspension or expulsion of students who are “truant, tardy, or otherwise absent from school activities.”
The bill states that “California law concerning youth, their development and the punishment of their behavior is evolving,” suggesting that expecting less responsibility from students is a sign of progress.
This is such a stupid idea.
“California schools will no longer be able to suspend elementary and middle school students for disrupting school activities or “willful defiance” of teacher or administrator authority…”https://t.co/4I01pdCxpa

Is it really discriminatory to suspend unruly students? What is a protected class? Drive away those who want education. Schools will soon be left with awakened teachers and child criminals https://t.co/GYCCUXIVXu

Why do taxpayers and parents put up with it?
