From the beginning of this year, the U.S. Department of Education acknowledged that Black and Hispanic youth faced harsher discipline than that of their White counterparts: The Education Department reported that one in five Black boys and one in 10 Black girls received out-of-school suspension. Combined, Black students were three times more likely to be suspended or expelled than Whites. Because of this bleak reality, many students who incurred minor offenses were met with harsh consequences that eventually led to police detention.
Although numbers and data tell the story, nothing compares to an actual depiction of overzealous discipline at work. On Thursday, NewsOne reported on the case of third-grader Wilson Reyes, 7 (pictured), who was allegedly involved in a scuffle at his school in the Bronx with another student over a $5 bill back in early December.
