Excerpt:

The NCES school safety report also details the causes for suspensions and expulsions (page 80): “Out of all offenses reported, physical attacks or fights prompted the largest percentage of schools (29 percent) to respond with at least one serious disciplinary action (figure 19.1 and table 19.1),” it said.

“In response to other offenses by students, 20 percent of schools reported that they took disciplinary action for the distribution, possession, or use of illegal drugs; 13 percent took action for the use or possession of a weapon other than a firearm or explosive device; 9 percent did so for the distribution, possession, or use of alcohol; and 3 percent did so for the use or possession of a firearm or explosive device,” the report stated.

By all means, keep the thugs and the punks and the wanna-know-nothin' losers. Otherwise, they'll think their behavior is unacceptable and kids will get the idea that learning and knowledge matters. I'm years past believing that leftists actually believe their education agenda is best for the kids, for this nation. They are out to destroy, to undermine.

I loath American "liberalism".
