Obama Admin: Distruptive Students Must Be Punished The Same As Good Students

This administration has lost it good sense, that is if it had any in the first place.  Thomas Sowell writes today about a program between the Justice Department and the Education Department to equalize punishment in schools.  In other words, girls should be punished as much as boys, Asian females as much as black males and while males as much as black males.  Is this crazy or what?  


It is call "equity" and as such means that certain groups will be punished less. Guess who that might be?  It is race pandering and is hurting the very people that it is meant to help, those black and other minority students who want to learn and make something of themselves.  


We say throw the trouble makers out of school and bring back the schools for delinquents, re-institute corporal punishment in the schools and give teachers the authority to ban students from their class if they are disrupting the educational process. In other words, let the teachers teach and the students learn.  Maybe then we can have "no child left behind."


This whole movement toward making things equal is idiotic. No two people are equal, we all have different abilities, drive and aspirations, so why are we trying to make everyone the same? Encourage the differences but let it be in a caring, nurturing educational environment that all students can learn without having to put up with troublemakers.
