As you well know, that is NOT the promise Program.Keep spinning!Your own cut n' paste says that Broward Co. had its own reform agreement BEFORE the Justice and Ed Depts sent out theirs.Really? Can you provide the link proving that this PROMISE program is an Obama thing?
Nikolas Cruz avoided police scrutiny with help from Obama policies
"In January 2014, two months after Broward approved its reform agreement, the Justice and Education departments released a joint “Dear Colleague” letter on “nondiscriminatory application of school discipline,” warning that federal officials would investigate schools that failed to address disparate discipline rates for minority students.
And investigate them they did. “They investigated hundreds of schools serving millions of students, and these investigations were for the purpose of changing policies,” said Manhattan Institute senior fellow Max Eden. “They were for the purpose of making schools adopt Broward-esque policies.”
More than 50 other major school districts have since adopted the more lenient discipline approach, “allowing thousands of troubled, often violent, students to commit crimes without legal consequence,” said Paul Sperry in RealClearInvestigations.
Education Secretary Betsy DeVos has come under renewed pressure to rescind the “Dear Colleague” letter on school discipline, much as she did last year with the Obama-era Education Department’s Title IX letter on combattng campus sexual assault."
Obama made it clear that he was unhappy with the fact that blacks got disciplined more than whites, and that his administration was going to be doing something about it.
Broward got ahead of it, by a few months and got to set the framework for how the Obama administration was going to improve those numbers.
By using government force and money and threats to get cops to not arrest young minority criminals.
Correct.
That does not change the fact that Obama set the agenda well before he released his formal Letter, AND that once that Letter was policy, that the School was not free to change the policy, without fearing serious threats from the Government.
Do you support the idea of not arresting violent criminals because of their skin color?
