Today I covered the story of a 12 year old black boy, a kid, who got suspended from a Catholic school, Saint Gabriel Consolidated. His mother claims that he did not receive due process. Most importantly she is fighting the school to get the suspension removed from his records. She understands that a mark on his record would inhibit his forward progress.

Why all the mention of race? After reading all of the court documents, the deposition from the principal, Mrs. Tolbert’s notes documenting her interactions with different persons at the school, after speaking to her for over an hour asking many probative questions, and after noting the effecting of a most severe punishment for an incident that at best deserved a verbal scolding, reductio ad absurdum screams race.

Here is the article I wrote on this story. Please share http://egbertowillies.com/2015/10/09/racism-12-yr-old-black-boy-suspended/.
