During the Obama administration, there was a crackdown on suspensions, expulsions, and other disciplinary practices that were found to disproportionately impact students of colour, such as Black, Latino, and Indigenous students.<\/p>\n

In 2014, the Obama administration issued guidelines highlighting that Black students were more than three times as likely to be suspended compared with their white peers, even for similar infractions, PBS\u00a0reported.<\/p>\n

Instead, schools were told that suspensions, expulsions and reporting students to the police were a last resort and they should focus on \u2018restorative\u2019 discipline measures that didn\u2019t remove teenagers from the classroom.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

During his first term, the Trump administration rolled back the Obama-era initiative, and in December 2018, the U.S. Department of Education, led by Secretary Betsy DeVos, officially rescinded the guidance.<\/p>\n

In May 2023, the U.S. Departments of Education and Justice under the Biden administration issued a joint letter to public schools, urging them to examine disciplinary data and practices to ensure fairness in light of it.<\/p>\n

In the new executive order aimed at K-12 schools, however, Trump has requested new federal guidance on school discipline, instead claiming the previous administration\u2019s guidelines had \u2018effectively reinstated the practice of weaponizing Title VI to promote an approach to school discipline based on discriminatory equity ideology\u2019.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

As for what constitutes as \u2018discipline\u2019, the order doesn\u2019t make it clear, however, The Conversation\u00a0says\u00a0that the presumption is that this includes alternatives to suspensions, with a focus on racial discrimination in these cases.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrump\u2019s order empowers local school boards by encouraging real discipline\u201d said Tiffany Justice, a co-founder of Moms for Liberty on\u00a0X. \u201cBy ending federal overreach, it frees educators to focus on teaching, not chaos, ensuring kids get a quality education.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not the discipline that you are seeking to cause division with! It\u2019s simple discipline! No disruption! Or you leave,\u201d someone else said.<\/p>\n

But not everyone agrees.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn one of the most heinous moments yet, Trump signs an executive order to make it easier for teachers to \u2018discipline\u2019 students in school,\u201d one person said. \u201cAs a parent I\u2019m genuinely appalled. I don\u2019t want Trump telling people how to discipline my child.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThese executive orders are another move to dismantle civil rights protections,\u201d Judith Browne Dianis, who runs the Advancement Project, a civil rights nonprofit,\u00a0said\u00a0(via NPR).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Administration wants to rebuild the school to prison pipeline but civil rights law is clear: schools cannot punish students more harshly because of race, color, national origin, sex, or disability.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
