Beyond Suspensions: Examining School Discipline Policies and Connections to the School-to-Prison Pipeline for Students of Color with Disabilities Briefing Before The United States Commission on Civil Rights Held in Washington, DC Briefing Report July 2019 [This page intentionally left blank] UNITED STATES COMMISSION ON CIVIL RIGHTS 1331 Pennsylvania Ave., NW Suite 1150 Washington, DC 20425 www.usccr.gov Letter of Transmittal July 23, 2019 President Donald J. Trump Vice President Mike Pence Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi On behalf of the United States Commission on Civil Rights (“the Commission”), I am pleased to transmit our briefing report, Beyond Suspensions: Examining School Discipline Policies and Connections to the School-to-Prison Pipeline for Students of Color with Disabilities. The report is also available in full on the Commission’s website at www.usccr.gov. For this report, the Commission investigated school discipline practices and policies impacting students of color with disabilities and the possible connections to the school-to-prison pipeline, examined rates of exclusionary discipline, researched whether and under what circumstances school discipline policies unfairly and/or unlawfully target students of color with disabilities, and analyzed the federal government’s responses and actions on the topic. The Commission’s report reflects that several decades of research demonstrate persistent racial disparities in disciplinary rates and disparities based on disability status but much of scholarship based on this data has not analyzed how these policies affect those students who live at the intersection of these two identities. The literature available, however, does suggest that students of color with disabilities face exclusionary discipline pushing them into the school-to-prison pipeline at much higher rates than their peers without disabilities. And while exclusionary discipline has been shown to be harmful for the educational attainment of all students, students with disabilities, particularly those who are students of color, face even more challenges when they are not able to receive a quality education. The Commission majority (six Commissioners in favor, two Commissioners in opposition) approved key findings including the following: Students of color as a whole, as well as by individual racial group, do not commit more disciplinable offenses than their white peers – but black students, Latino students, and Native American students in the aggregate receive substantially more school discipline than their white peers and receive harsher and longer punishments than their white peers receive for like offenses. Students with disabilities are approximately twice as likely to be suspended throughout each school level compared to students without disabilities. Data the U.S. Department of Education reports show a consistent pattern of schools suspending or expelling black students with disabilities at higher rates than their proportion of the population of students with disabilities. Data show the large majority of out-of-school suspensions are for non- violent behavior. The most recent available data reflect that, with the exception of Latinx and Asian American students with disabilities, students of color with disabilities were more likely than white students with disabilities to be expelled without educational services. Research reflects that, in addition to missed class time, excessive exclusionary discipline negatively impacts classroom engagement and cohesion and increases the likelihood excluded students will be retained in grade, drop out of school, or be placed in the juvenile justice system. Research also shows that zero tolerance policies and the practice of exclusionary discipline in schools in the absence of consideration and application of alternatives to exclusionary discipline are ineffective in creating safe and healthy learning environments for students, teachers, and staff. The Commission majority voted for key recommendations, including the following: The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) should continue offering guidance to school communities regarding how to comply with federal nondiscrimination laws related to race and disability in the imposition of school discipline. It is critical that all teachers are provided with resources, guidance, training, and support to ensure nondiscriminatory discipline in schools. Congress should continue to provide funding to help states and school districts provide training and support and, with Congressional appropriation support, the U.S. Departments of Justice and Education should continue and expand their grant funding for these important goals. OCR should rigorously enforce the civil rights laws over which it has jurisdiction, to address allegations of discrimination in school discipline policies. We at the Commission are pleased to share our views, informed by careful research and investigation as well as civil rights expertise, to help ensure that all Americans enjoy civil rights protections to which we are entitled.

Amidst a national movement to dismantle systemic racism, our schools risk propagating educational inequity by design. Only the most affluent students receive the highest quality education that emphasizes student agency and engagement Helen Shwe Hadani, Ph.D. through collaboration and inquiry.1 Many schools across the United States Fellow, Center for Universal remain trapped in an outdated “horse and buggy” model of education, Education, The Bass Center for Transformative Placemaking, particularly when instructing students from under-resourced communities. The Brookings Institution These schools frequently operate according to a “factory model” that emerged @HelenSHadani in the early 20th century to mold students for the industrial economy. Under this system, students are considered the “products” of the system with standardized assessments serving as “quality control” measures to encourage effective instruction.2 Elias Blinkoff Graduate Student in the Department of Psychology, Temple University Over the past several decades, we have attempted to repair the educational @blinkoffe “buggy” through substantial reforms.3 These include passage of No Child Left Behind in 20024 and the development of the Common Core State Standards beginning in 2009.5 However, attempting to transform the industrial era “horse Roberta M.

  • Solitary Confinement of Teens in Adult Prisons
    Children in Lockdown: Solitary Confinement of Teens in Adult Prisons January 30, 2010 By Jean Casella and James Ridgeway 23 Comments While there are no concrete numbers, it’s safe to say that hundreds, if not thousands of children are in solitary confinement in the United States–some in juvenile detention facilities, and some in adult prisons. Short bouts of solitary confinement are even viewed as a legitimate form of punishment in some American schools. In this first post on the subject, we address teenagers in solitary confinement in adult prisons. In large part, this grim reality is simply a symptom of the American criminal justice system’s taste for treating children as adults. A study by Michele Deitch and a team of student researchers at the University of Texas’s LBJ School found that on a given day in 2008, there were more than 11,300 children under 18 being held in the nation’s adult prisons and jail. According to Deitch’s 2009 report From Time Out to Hard Time, ”More than half the states permit children under age 12 to be treated as adults for criminal justice purposes. In 22 states plus the District of Columbia, children as young as 7 can be prosecuted and tried in adult court, where they would be subjected to harsh adult sanctions, including long prison terms, mandatory sentences, and placement in adult prison.” These practices set the United States apart from nearly all nations in both the developed and the developing world. Documentation on children placed in solitary confinement in adult prisons is spotty.

  • Welfare, Achievement, and Self-Sacrifice
    WELFARE, ACHIEVEMENT, AND SELF-SACRIFICE BY DOUGLAS W. PORTMORE JOURNAL OF ETHICS & SOCIAL PHILOSOPHY VOL. 2, NO. 2 | SEPTEMBER 2007 URL: WWW.JESP.ORG COPYRIGHT © DOUGLAS W. PORTMORE 2007 JOURNAL OF ETHICS & SOCIAL PHILOSOPHY | VOL. 2, NO. 2 WELFARE, ACHIEVEMENT, AND SELF-SACRIFICE Douglas W. Portmore Welfare, Achievement, and Self-Sacrifice Douglas W. Portmore* ANY PHILOSOPHERS HOLD that the achievement of one’s goals can contribute to one’s welfare apart from whatever inde- pendent contributions that the objects of those goals, or the proc- M 1 esses by which they are achieved, make. Call this the Achievement View, and call those who accept it achievementists. Below, I argue that achievementists should accept both (a) that one factor that affects how much the achieve- ment of a goal contributes to one’s welfare is the amount that one has in- vested in that goal, and (b) that the amount that one has invested in a goal is a function of how much one has personally sacrificed for its sake, not a func- tion of how much effort one has put into achieving it. So I will, contrary to at least one achievementist (viz., Keller 2004, 36), be arguing against the view that the greater the amount of productive effort that goes into achieving a goal, the more its achievement contributes to one’s welfare. Furthermore, I argue that the reason that the achievement of those goals for which one has personally sacrificed matters more to one’s welfare is that, in general, the re- demption of one’s self-sacrifices in itself contributes to one’s welfare.

  • The Effect of Lockdown Policies on International Trade Evidence from Kenya
    The effect of lockdown policies on international trade Evidence from Kenya Addisu A. Lashitew Majune K. Socrates GLOBAL WORKING PAPER #148 DECEMBER 2020 The Effect of Lockdown Policies on International Trade: Evidence from Kenya Majune K. Socrates∗ Addisu A. Lashitew†‡ January 20, 2021 Abstract This study analyzes how Kenya’s import and export trade was affected by lockdown policies during the COVID-19 outbreak. Analysis is conducted using a weekly series of product-by-country data for the one-year period from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020. Analysis using an event study design shows that the introduction of lockdown measures by trading partners led to a modest increase of exports and a comparatively larger decline of imports. The decline in imports was caused by disruption of sea cargo trade with countries that introduced lockdown measures, which more than compensated for a significant rise in air cargo imports. Difference-in-differences results within the event study framework reveal that food exports and imports increased, while the effect of the lockdown on medical goods was less clear-cut. Overall, we find that the strength of lockdown policies had an asymmetric effect between import and export trade.

  • War and Sacrifice in the Post-9/11 Era
    Social & Demographic Trends October 5, 2011 The Military-Civilian Gap War and Sacrifice in the Post-9/11 Era FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, CONTACT Pew Social & Demographic Trends Tel (202) 419-4372 1615 L St., N.W., Suite 700 Washington, D.C. 20036 www.pewsocialtrends.org PREFACE America’s post-9/11 wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are unique. Never before has this nation been engaged in conflicts for so long. And never before has it waged sustained warfare with so small a share of its population carrying the fight. This report sets out to explore a series of questions that arise from these historical anomalies. It does so on the strength of two nationwide surveys the Pew Research Center conducted in the late summer of 2011, as the 10th anniversary of the start of the war in Afghanistan approached. One survey was conducted among a nationally representative sample of 1,853 military veterans, including 712 who served on active duty in the period after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The other was among a nationally representative sample of 2,003 American adults. The report compares and contrasts the attitudes of post-9/11 veterans, pre-9/11 veterans and the general public on a wide range of matters, including sacrifice; burden sharing; patriotism; the worth of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq; the efficiency of the military and the effectiveness of modern military tactics; the best way to fight terrorism; the desirability of a return of the military draft; the nature of America’s place in the world; and the gaps in understanding between the military and civilians.

  • Wrestle Until He Prevails
    Web Edition – September/ October, 2015 Wrestle Until He Prevails And Jacob was left alone; and a man wrestled with him until the breaking of the day. .Then he said, 'Let me go, for the day is breaking.' But Jacob said, 'I will not let you go unless you bless me.' Genesis 32:24,26 October brings to mind the Reformation, and the role that Dr. Martin Luther played in restoring the church. In order to get to the heart of the Reformation, I feel that it is necessary to look at the personal life and writing of Dr. Martin Luther. There you will find a man who often wrestled in his weakness to find the strength of God. He is not unlike the man Jacob in the Scriptures. In the book of Genesis we read about Jacob's wrestling with God. There is a strange paradox here: Jacob prevailed in his prayer for help. The angel of God's presence said, "Your name shall no more be called Jacob, but Israel, for you have striven with God and with man and have prevailed." (vs. 28) But how did he prevail? By clinging to God in his utter need and weakness, knowing there was help in no one else. Sometimes there is nothing else to do but to wrestle with God. We may not know the path we should take, and we have to wrestle through until light breaks. We may find that our will and what we perceive as God's will are not in harmony, and we have to wrestle until He prevails.
