Wow
That shit is sickening
The cradle to prison to pipeline on full display
Hope it helps to shine a light on how girls of color, and especially black girls, are subject to discipline that is harsher and more frequent than that of their white peers
Black girls are six times more likely to be suspended than white girls.
The racial disparities in punishment are greater for girls than for boys

I was going to agree with u until I saw that bullshit at the bolded
man I swear u just refuse to be a teamplayer
Bruh
I'm the ultimate team player...I'm black before anything
Just stating facts
Not like it's not relevant to the discussion
And I sincerely hope these incidents garners more attention to the issues facing blk girls which are rarely if ever discussed at length or at great depth
u got to be trolling if u truly believe girls experience more racial disparities in school in regards to punishment more than boys
u can't be serious when there are way too many other factors that intentionally push boys out of the educational system way more than girls
the graduation rates alone are a boldface sign that black females don't catch it worse than black males

stop trying to make all ur victimization arguments gender based
What? Lol
Fall back
Multiple studies have concluded that black girls face much harsher school discipline than their white peers
The study I posted found that blk girls are 6x more likely to be suspended than white girls for similar offenses
While blk boys are 3x as likely to be suspended than white boys for similar offenses
This is not to suggest blk boys aren't discriminated against ...they are....and I agree boys are pushed out of the educational system way more than girls
The problem is that the fact that black girls face much harsher school discipline than their white peers is often overlooked in school reform efforts
Here's an excerpt from another article:
Girls Face Specific Challenges
Despite data pointing to unequal discipline of black female students, Crenshaw says little effort has been put into focusing on achievement and discipline problems that girls face.
“The focus on girls is dreadfully lacking and it actually creates what I call a cycle of misinformation and exclusion,” said Crenshaw.
She says that girls, and black girls specifically, are often not included in research agendas or public policy discussion because of an incorrect assumption that they “are doing OK.” Crenshaw cites recent initiatives including My Brother’s Keeper and Boston’s Opportunity and Equity report as examples of programs that focus on racial achievement, but do not include girls in their scope.
The exclusion, she says, leads to less information and therefore fewer opportunities to intervene where necessary.
“On the rare occasion where there is a founder or a partner who wants to focus on girls, the information that is available to them to help them think about what kinds of programs might work … just doesn’t exist,” said Crenshaw. She says any set of interventions designed to advanced the well being of youth of color should take both boys and girls into consideration.
