At the school district where I teach, blacks make up 39% of the students, whites 54%, others make up the rest. Despite this there are very few white elementary students who ride the buses because the parents do not feel that it is safe for them to do so. So we have a legion of mini-vans that clog the streets around the elementary schools every morning.

When the parents complain that those who fight are not kicked off the buses permanently for doing so, they are told by the District that they are not allowed to permanently keep students from riding the bus - that it is a right.

How sad that all the kids are being taught that there are no consequences to bad behavior.
