  • Race Quotas in School Discipline Just Got Scrapped — Classrooms Can Be Safe Again

    Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.

    The U.S. Department of Education has directed schools to stop using race in student discipline decisions and opened investigations into districts still practicing racial balancing.
