https://lnkd.in/ghp6zuKn I am investigating racial discrimination in Whitefish Bay Schools. This video shows Whitefish Bay High School Principal Amy Levek speaking disparagingly about families of color in Whitefish Bay. Data available from the state and federal government shows that in Whitefish Bay Schools... -->Black students are suspended at a rate of 15.3%, but white students are only suspended at a rate of 1.1% -->33% of Black male students are enrolled in special education, as compared to only 13% of white male students. I am investigating whether any of the following possible patterns help explain this data: -->Black students are assumed to be guilty and punished before they receive due process. -->Black students receive harsher discipline than white students, even when they do the same things wrong -->Black students are punished for responding angrily when they experience bullying or harassment by other students -->Black students who are victims of bullying or harassment receive less protection and support than white students who are victims of bullying or harassment. -->Black students are labeled as having emotional or behavioral disabilities when in fact they are reacting to a school environment where they do not feel safe. If you have experiences in Whitefish Bay that relate to any of these possible patterns, I would love to speak with you. Please note that this is NOT an offer of legal representation; however, information may be used to help support a discrimination claim against the District.
