The JEFFERSON PARISH PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM is part of the GREATER NEW ORLEANS AREA, and according to the SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER the Problems in the Jefferson Parish School District are the result of Systemic Racism rather than Student Behavior. (LOL) ======================================================== "BELIEVE IT OR NOT" ======================================================== In Louisiana’s Jefferson Parish Public School System, African-American students face a harsh reality. Typical teenage misbehavior, such as horseplay or cursing (LOL), doesn’t result in a trip to the principal’s office. Instead, these students are shipped off to alternative schools where they often languish for months, even years. ======================================================== "BELIEVE IT OR NOT" ======================================================== They sit in front of a computer screen for hours as they work through a series of online courses. There is a teacher in the room, but the teacher is simply there to answer questions. There’s no instruction, no classroom discussions or extracurricular activities. No accommodations are made for students with disabilities. This is the “school” the district provides for these students. But it’s the numbers that tell the most disturbing story: African-American students account for 78 percent of all alternative school referrals in Jefferson Parish. But they are only 46 percent of the district’s student population. And, sadly, these students may be the lucky ones. ======================================================== "BELIEVE IT OR NOT" ======================================================== Breaking a school rule in Jefferson Parish often results in an arrest for African-America students. During the 2010-11 school year, African-American students accounted for more than three-quarters of all school arrests in the district. The same was true during the 2009-10 school year. Again, this is a district where African-American students are less than half of the student population. ======================================================== "BELIEVE IT OR NOT" ======================================================== This isn’t about bad kids getting the punishment they deserve. "There’s no evidence that such lopsided discipline rates are due to African-American students inherently behaving worse." (LOL) This is about discriminatory policies (LOL) that criminalize African-American youth by pushing them out of the classroom and into the juvenile justice system for typical student misbehavior(LOL). ======================================================== "BELIEVE IT OR NOT" ======================================================== It’s why the Southern Poverty Law Center (LOL) has filed two federal discrimination complaints against the Jefferson Parish Public School System this year. We filed one complaint with the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights in January. That complaint cited the racial disparities in school arrests. (LOL) We filed a second complaint with the department this month. This time we took aim at the alternative school policies. ======================================================== "BELIEVE IT OR NOT" ======================================================== Sadly, Jefferson Parish isn’t the only school district where we’ve discovered discriminatory policies threatening the future of students. Across the South we’ve found school districts where students of color or students with disabilities bear the brunt of discriminatory policies. We’ve found school districts where students of color have been handcuffed, shackled or even pepper-sprayed for minor violations of school rules. Most important, we’re working to end these practices. ======================================================== "BELIEVE IT OR NOT" ======================================================== Much of this discrimination is born out of assumptions and fear, particularly in regard to young African-American men. (LOL) Such beliefs were vividly demonstrated in Jefferson Parish when a school district psychologist posted shocking comments online about African-American youth. ======================================================== "LIKE IT OR NOT" ======================================================== DISCIPLINE FACILITATOR MARK ANTHONY TRAINA STATEMENT It is 100% true Black Students get suspended, expelled, sent to alternative schools and arrested much more than their White, Hispanic and Asian Counterparts and for good reason. It's because Black Students engage in more violent, disrespectful and defiant activities than White, Hispanic and Asian Students combined. Seriously, Black Students do get suspended, expelled, sent to alternative schools and arrested much more than their White, Hispanic and Asian Counterparts and for good reason. It's because Black Students engage in more violent, disrespectful and defiant activities than White, Hispanic and Asian Students combined. It's really that simple!!! ======================================================== "LIKE IT OR NOT" ======================================================== LINK: https://www.splcenter.org/resources/stories/problems-jefferson-parish-schools-are-systemic/ ======================================================== "BELIEVE IT OR NOT" ========================================================
