Project 21 Says \u201cEverybody Suffers\u201d Under \u201cRacial Quotas\u201d for Misbehavior<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Washington, D.C.<\/em> – With the Biden Administration exploring a racial disparate-impact analysis<\/a> of school discipline statistics, the leaders of the Project 21<\/a> black leadership network said this would set up a system of \u201cracial quotas\u201d of punishment in which \u201ceverybody suffers.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a public comment submitted to the U.S. Department of Education\u2019s Office of Civil Rights, the three co-chairmen of Project 21 wrote:<\/p>\n

Teachers shouldn\u2019t be judged by statistics. Students deserve better classroom environments. That\u2019s why the disparate-impact domination of discipline deserves a failing grade.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Council Nedd, Stacy Washington and Horace Cooper<\/p><\/div>\n

It was explained that enforcing alleged equity through statistical analysis would create a situation in which teachers unions – key members of the president\u2019s political base – would be put in an awkward position of defending teachers accused of being racist due to their disciplinary actions when they are just trying to do their jobs:<\/p>\n

This standard puts teachers in a tenuous position. While American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten may publicly support a social justice agenda embracing critical race theory, she must also have the backs<\/a> of members who will be judged by metrics to make them out to be vicious racists. Yet a union\u2019s first obligation is supposed to be protecting dues-paying members<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cUnder this proposal,\u201d the trio continued, \u201cdiscipline means disparity, and disparity means discrimination. And that\u2019s what teachers and administrators will seek to avoid.\u201d<\/p>\n

The potential new policy is similar to guidelines introduced<\/a> during the Obama-Biden Administration that were later rescinded during the Trump Administration. Noting that Trump Education Secretary Betsy DeVos reported<\/a> that these rules caused \u201cstatistics [to] become more important than the safety of students and teachers,\u201d the Project 21 leaders asked: \u201cWhy are the Biden-Harris rules expected to fare any better?\u201d<\/p>\n
