An agreement that ends a Portland, Oregon, teachers strike includes a sweeping call to provide “restorative justice” to students who tick the right boxes.
The strike was resolved late last month, according to CNN.
In the past, middle school and high school students could be suspended for at least five days in case of the most serious incidents of physical harm or threats of violence, according to KGW-TV in Portland.
Now, a team of staff psychologists, counselors and social workers will become involved, with more staff assigned as needed.
The district said it wanted to solve the problem that non-white students were suspended too often, according to Oregon Public Broadcasting.
It’s not the fault of the non-white kids.
The white kids are slacking in acting out sufficiently enough to be disciplined and recorded in the stats. The adults should focus on bringing more white kids into the disciplinary process to make all bad behavior balance on a racially proportionate basis.

Of course, we’re talking about Oregon where they are scuttling grading so all students can get their MENSA certificates at the conclusion of Pre-K.
