Attorney General Eric Holder said the "zero-tolerance" approach to punishing students often brings black and Hispanic students into the court system.
The Obama administration is issuing new recommendations on classroom discipline that seek to end the apparent disparities in how students of different races are punished for violating school rules.
Civil rights advocates have long said that a "school-to-prison" pipeline stems from overly zealous school discipline policies targeting black and Hispanic students that bring them out of school and into the court system.
Attorney General Eric Holder said the problem often stems from well intentioned "zero-tolerance" policies that too often inject the criminal justice system into the resolution of problems. Zero tolerance policies, a tool that became popular in the 1990s, often spell out uniform and swift punishment for offenses such as truancy, smoking or carrying a weapon. Violators can lose classroom time or become saddled with a criminal record.
Id prefer your kid didn't go to jail,
The government didn't miss that point, society did. The government is 100% knowledgeable and culpable for constructing the current prisoners=paydays system of criminal "justice" in the USA.

The crucial point the Government seems to have completely missed...

But whatever keeps the private, for-profit prison business supplied in customers...

We are letting these Liberal Progressives indoctrinate our kids, our nations most valuable commodity with complete utter nonsense.

Let me start by pointing out you violated the terms of T&C by posting a one sentence post.
A non Liberal Progressive agenda would have insane subjects like English, Math, Science, American and World history, not a crash course on the book Heather Has Two Mommies.
In a non Progressive Liberal environment elementary children would not get to pick their gender assignment and choose which bathroom they would want to use like they do out here in California.
In a non Liberal progressive school system children who wore an American flag on their tee shirts would not be accused of being insensitive to children of other nationalities that are more than likely illegal immigrants.
In a non Liberal Progressive school 2+2=4 not 5 or any other answer just to make all children equal and allow the unions to say they are passing x amount of children on to the next level so they can get more tax dollars.
These are a few examples but primarily the teachers should be means tested yearly and the unions should be forced out of our school systems along with all the political correctness crap.
Our children our are nations most valuable resource and they should be guarded with our lives.

Thanks for pointing that out. Now count again.

So, all the same subjects, but making sure that bigotry remains.

Cultivating phobias and discrimination.

Ooh. Stereotyping and profiling.
In a non Liberal Progressive school 2+2=4 not 5 or any other answer just to make all children equal and allow the unions to say they are passing x amount of children on to the next level so they can get more tax dollars.
See the top answer to help with that addition problem. Teachers teach to a mandate, sucks that they have to follow rules too. Mostly they'd do better without standardized testing.
These are a few examples but primarily the teachers should be means tested yearly and the unions should be forced out of our school systems along with all the political correctness crap.
Those darn unions, taking all the tax dollars. A whopping 2% of the budget. Where Taxdollars Go. I'm unclear on means testing, but if you are speaking towards certification and recertification and continued education-that's pretty standard in the education world. Just like DOT physical and knowledge testing every year for school bus drivers.
Our children our are nations most valuable resource and they should be guarded with our lives.
