You're destroying education for everybody else.
But because black students were suspended too much under this policy, more than 90% of suspended students were black, the ACLU went to court.
The federal government hounded the Richmond school system for years afterwards.
And meanwhile, in Louisiana, the Southern Poverty Law Center, which spends most of its time funding the KKK, as we've recently discovered, filed a civil rights complaint alleging that it was a violation of disparate impact theory for the school district to refer too many black students to alternative schools for behavioral issues.
the school board had to settle.
And in New Jersey, the ACLU filed a complaint alleging that black students were five times more likely to face out-of-school suspensions than white students.
Black parents continued to sue for many years, even after a settlement, over this suspension policy.
Now, even though, again, none of these policies said, oh, we're going to suspend black students.
It was just, here's the rule, and if you break the rule, here's the punishment.
And it just so happens that an overwhelming majority of the students who broke that policy that everybody is subjected to were black.
And so that means you can't have it.
Now, to be clear, I have no specific information as to what offenses, if any, Carmelo Anthony may have committed at his public high school.
There's certainly a few puzzle pieces we can put together, though.
There's one news report which we played earlier in the week where a girl says Anthony was known for fighting.
There's also the fact that Carmelo Anthony stabbed a kid to death for no reason, which would generally, if you're doing that, you know.
that means it probably was not your first time getting into a physical altercation with someone, we could probably assume, reasonably.
And then there's this report from a CBS reporter from last year.
Town Hall first noticed this.
We'll put it up on the screen.
It says, quote, CBS News Texas has learned from law enforcement sources involved in the investigation that Carmelo Anthony had previously been suspended for bringing a knife to school.
