The Federal Commission on School Safety, formed in the wake of the massacre at Parkland, is recommending that Obama-era policies aimed at limiting racial disparities in school discipline be rescinded as a part of a school safety report, White House says.

sarahgayle695 Rolls back decades of work on school discipline reform. We can only hope districts work on their own enlightened path. Otherwise inherently racist practices will continue to erode any progress toward a just society.

Seems like most school shooters are young white males.

Good. That’s why Nikolas Cruz was not on anybody’s radar. School police didn’t report his earlier crimes because he was Hispanic.

PROMISE program is and was a disaster.

So they recommend that white kids will be punished more harshly than there POC counterparts? They should be you know, given their societal privileges, when a white kid acts like a ungrateful stupid dumbass, I say threw the book...hell all the books...at them.

THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION SHOULD CONCERTRATE ON STUDENTS SAFETY IN SCHOOLS INSTEAD OF ERADICATING PROTECTIVE RULES THAT CHECKS RACIAL SEGREGATION AND APATHIED, GUNS CONTROL SHOULD BE ADEQUATELY PUT IN PLACE.

Trump always seeks to roll back Obama everything.

Trump and White House is doing much much worse for every school's safety policies.

Racism ... seeping it’s miserable way back into America ... ushered by realDonaldTrump.

Get DeVos out of our schools. She is evil and works for a corrupt president.

Horrible! Again!

The majority of shooters are white- but somehow non-white kids are paying the price?

So Cruz had numerous problems but was allowed to remain in school because why

That commission is a joke just like the Trump and his family

I knew that the meeting that Trump had in the White House with those kids was bulls**t

sucks when reality catches up with your utopian ideals. Whatever it takes whoever it offends too bad. Protect the children. they should not be victims in a game of social engineering. Great job Betsy, nice to have an adult in charge.

And it makes it safer how?!!!

Well you morons...when kids are being used to commit felonies by gangs because they wont be charged w/ a crime & these domestic disasters take the opportunity to use their new found get out of jail free ticket to commit other crimes...yeah, lock their assets up.They've earned it

Narrator: And the Commission on School Safety is comprised of: Chair, Betsy DeVos Matthew George Whitaker Alex Azar Kirstjen M. Nielsen In other words, a fair and balanced Commission.

Betsy DeVos needs to be rescinded.

I can’t wait to vote these people out of office. As adults it is our responsibility to protect our children and to hold them accountable when appropriate.

Good. Another failed Obama idea. Look no further than Parkland for proof.

She is an expert on school safety...not one grizzly bear attack since she took charge.

Of course nothing Obama did was good

A student with anti social and behavioral problems was protected from discipline because they're a minority? I'm speechless. This sums up everything that went wrong with the democratic party. Obama made them radical. This isn't even reasonable

Because racialism fails every time it's forced upon unwilling diverse socio culturally disparate groups.

You have got to be kidding. BetsyDeVosED’s solution is to quintessentially re-segregate schools to solve the safety issues? Why not just move the clocks back to the 1930’s?

Hmm new update needed gun parts just got banned . Will have to delete half the story now oppie

Translation: schools for the wealthy. Best to put $$$ into public schools EQUALLY, so all kids get a chance

Not punishing people for wrong doing because of their skin color is bad policy. If you did something wrong you should be punished. Disproportionate numbers don’t mean discrimination. 73% of Black children lack a two parent structure so its not shocking they get in trouble more.

Trump is pandering to his base, I mean bots, again. SAD!

We all know what’s really happening. We know trump is erasing Obama’s work out of spite - regardless how improved of safe American lives get as a result! Quit lying about why you’re doing it!! This is the sick fuck we have as president. THIS MUST END NOW!!!

Seems like common sense stop letting people get a pass on crime

Time for Betsy to go, like the rest of the cabinet.

So, as usual the GOP is doing the worst possible thing for America. Sounds exactly like what Russia wants...

lol

By my watch, you have about 2 years before we throw you out into the street.

Bottom Line.

How? How the fuck is that helping?

How would that even fix anything How stupid.

Nothing will make schools safer than getting rid of that awful woman

Such despicable people.

She has ZERO clue.
