Study: ‘Family Structure’ a Major Factor in Racial Disparities in School Conduct and Suspensions

[IsailedawayfromFR]

A new study affirms what many public policy analysts say is intuitive — that unstable family structure, including chaotic households and single-parent homes, is a primary factor in racial disparities in school behavior and suspensions.
The study, conducted by senior fellows Nicholas Zill and W. Bradford Wilcox at the Institute for Family Studies, asserts education policymakers “must recognize that social and psychological problems in youth may manifest themselves at school but have their origins in family situations over which the school has little or no control.”

The authors find in their new analysis of the National Household Education Survey (NHES) that, in 2016, about 24 percent of black elementary and high school students had been suspended at least once, while eight percent of white students and only four percent of Asian students had the same experience.

You can bet this will get squashed by the MSM.

And the principle within the article can be readily applied to more crime, incarcerations, etc.

Sharpton and Jesse will be out of a job on race hustling if this sticks.
