Actually, I make no claim that black children behave worse than white children. Your job, to prove they do, would be to provide evidence.
Your words in response to the OP, what is white privilege.
"The system in which a white teacher is more likely to view a black student as a threat, while identifying with the white student, and result in harsher punishments for the same kinds of misbehavior."
That clearly says that children who exhibit the same behaviors get punished differently due to their race.
NOT that black children behave worse than white kids.
Quantified by WHO?
I love the fact that teachers are such lefties and support the side that is so quick to throw them under the bus.
You guys have put me in the humorous position of telling my teacher friends, liberals, that I regularly stand up for them, and those that blame their racism for the failures of black students.
Who has quantified that black children behave so differently than white children? You have yet to provide evidence.
I'm sorry you want things so cut and dried. It's not all teachers, which I believe I've said before. It's not a 100% occurrence. Non-racist teachers don't need any defending. But even if it's only 20%, it's going to affect outcomes. And personally, I don't even think some people realize that they are acting on subconscious racist assumptions.
That's why education is important.
Who has quantified that the punishments are different for the same offenses.
That is a claim you made, that you should not make unless the data clearly supports your claim, ie cut and dried.
