Getting the numbers right

Betsy has a post (for some reason the link won't work) about an article written by a principal who admits that blacks and whites were subjected to different standards of discipline in order to avoid charges of racism. In other words, the only way to avoid charges of racism was to discriminate against white kids.

In the end, can anyone doubt that black kids were hurt most? Learning that the rules don't apply if you use the race card isn't the best way to master the keys to a successful life.
