Looks like I may have a ton of these, so this is collection 1 of Reflections |
On the surface it has nothing to do with race... BUT if you delve deeper, it has everything to do with race. Near the surface it's a matter of Socio-Economic STATUS UNFORTUNATELY minorities make up a MAJOR bulk of the "lower" class (I would say 'mid to lower' but the middle class is dying out). My Tweets: Can't wait for a black cop to do this to an 'unruly' white girl. I'm sure all of the comments will be exactly the same. #SVHS #sarcasm I DON'T think the cop should lose his job. I DO think ALL disruptive kids deserve this, but I also think there's a double standard. #SVHS Me, I'm ALL for corporeal punishment. I think students get away with WAAAAYYY too much these days. I wish we didn't need officers in schools but if you take away a teacher's right to effectively discipline then all you have left is the law. So, in a nutshell: I have no problem with what the officer did to what sounds like an entitled child rejecting authority. I DO have a problem with the fact that not all schools are equal and they should be. http://thebertshow.com/too-much-or-warranted-student-violently-arrested-at-sprin... |
