Washington state school district will encourage teachers to consider students' race when dishing out punishments: Critics say new policy will result in harsher punishments for white students
A school district in Washington state has passed a new policy that critics say encourages administrators to factor in race when disciplining students.
The Clover Park School District board approved the new policy on a 3-2 vote on March 14, over the objections of board members who expressed concerns that it was ill-conceived.
The district in the suburbs of Tacoma will now use 'culturally responsive discipline' that encourages school staff to impose disciplinary policies that 'may be adapted to individual student needs in a culturally responsive manner.'
The Clover Park School District, which is the 28th largest in the state with an enrollment of 12,022, is 35 percent Hispanic, 28 percent white, and 13 percent black, and 4 percent Asian.
