New education policy: schools can only discipline a certain number of minorities

See, the problem isn't about BEHAVIOR, as much as school ADMINISTRATORS are blaming certain minorities for more infractions than other races. So what we need to do...we need to LIMIT the number of disciplinary actions against minorities and make sure we PUNISH other minorities or majority students. Bigotry exists under every bush, apparently. Like in this example, where Asian students are BEATEN on a regular basis. Ah, but what's to be done about that. Question: Isn't equality not seeing skin color? We're all treated the same?

According to Asian advocates, the whole Philadelphia district has been plagued by harassment and violence towards Asian students for many years. At SPHS, the assaults have occurred in the cafeteria line, in bathrooms, in stairwells, on school buses, and elsewhere. The incidents ran the gamut from verbal abuse, physical intimidation, blocking doorways, cutting in line ahead of Asian students in the cafeteria, use of anti-Asian racial epithets, and more serious physical abuse including shoving, kicking, and punching—sometimes at the hands of more than one assailant. Advocates have accused school officials, including school Superintendent Arlene Ackerman and Principal LaGreta Brown (both black) of indifference to the plight of Asian students in their charge.
