Since President Barack Obama pressured educators to adopt a new code of conduct making it harder to suspend or expel students of color, even kids who punch out their teacher aren't automatically kicked out of school anymore.
Previously, "If you hit a teacher, you're gone," said Peter Kirsanow, a black conservative on the US Commission on Civil Rights. But that's no longer the case, he says, thanks to race-based discipline quotas sweeping the nation's schools.
In just the first year after Obama in January 2014 issued his new discipline guidelines -
which came with threats of federal investigations and defunding - schools saw more than 160,000 "physical attacks" on teachers across the country. And yet the assailants were expelled in fewer than 130,000 cases, Kirsanow said, citing the latest available federal data.Many teachers have been sent to the hospital by students emboldened by the lax discipline rules - which remain in full force, despite the change in administration, and have now been adopted by 53 of the nation's largest school districts, including NYC.
The growing number of classroom horror stories and backlash from teachers unions have left former Obama educrats scrambling to defend the lower discipline standards. "No one has ever advocated for policies that make students or teachers unsafe," argued Catherine Lhamon, the Education Department civil-rights chief who rolled out Obama's directive.
Comment: Salafism is the most dangerous totalitarian ideology in the Muslim world. Feminism is perhaps the most dangerous totalitarian ideology in the Western world. Just imagine what will happen when they team up!
The political decision on behalf of Western intelligence to feed the fires of jihadist ideology will go down in history as one of the stupidest, most destructive, and self-defeating decisions of modern times. You can't trust mercenaries. What made them think they could trust, or at the very least control, an army of ideologically-obsessed fanatics with a self-propagating ideology? Utter madness, and it will only come back to bite them.
