Progressive Left Discipline Policies Working as well as All Other Progressive Left Policies

by

For Social Justice, schools in New York, Chicago, and California have replaced proven, traditional methods of discipline with hippy-dippy therapy sessions:

Convinced traditional discipline is racist because blacks are suspended at higher rates than whites, New York City’s Department of Education has in all but the most serious and dangerous offenses replaced out-of-school suspensions with a touchy-feely alternative punishment called “restorative justice,” which isn’t really punishment at all. It’s therapy.

Most likely, they will be sent to a talking circle instead, where they can discuss their feelings.

So, the politicians and SJW’s feel gooder about themselves for being so progressive and enlightened; much as they do when they raise the minimum wage or settle disease-infected illegal immigrants into unwitting communities. And, as usual, the people who have the policies forced on them are the ones who suffer. As it turns out, letting thugs talk through their feelings with other thugs doesn’t make them any less thuggish. And sending them back into the classroom isn’t good for anyone.

Recently mandated “positive interventions” have only exacerbated discipline problems in the largely minority Santa Ana public school district, where middle-school kids now regularly smoke pot in bathrooms — some even in class — and attack staff — spitting on teachers, pelting them with eggs, even threatening to stab them, according to the Orange County Register.

Progressives: Is there anything they can’t f–k up?

  1. they aren’t do this to make it better for the kids. they are doing it to further screw up the educational system. he can’t learn in a chaotic situation. less discipline less learning. don’t think they are doing this by mistake, it is being done deliberately. there are no unintentional leftist consequences.

  3. If my child were a victim of some of these thugs I would be appalled if the only consequence was to have a sit down session to talk about their feelings with other thugs.

    Perhaps the answer to school behavior problems should be fixing the state of the or sending all the thugs to an alternative school, but all I know is when I was in school the last thing I wanted to do was tell my parents I got in trouble at school because my parents didn’t blame the teacher they blamed me.

  6. “Conventional discipline is racist because blacks are suspended at higher rates than whites…”

    More boys than girls get suspension or detention in schools. More men than women are in prison. Men usually pay higher rates for car insurance. Is all of that because of sexist discrimination against males? No. It’s because more boys misbehave in schools, more men commit felonies, and men are statistically more likely to have accidents.
