Government Watchdog Finds Racial Bias in School Discipline

Black students continue to be disciplined at school more often and more harshly than their white peers, often for similar infractions, according to a new report by Congress’s nonpartisan watchdog agency, which counters claims fueling the Trump administration’s efforts to re-examine discipline policies of the Obama administration.

"Government Watchdog Finds Racial Bias in School Discipline" is from the April 04, 2018 U.S. section of The New York Times. It was written by Erica L. Green and narrated by Kristi Burns.
