Fortunately we have a few  courageous Melanoid educators in certain school districts who are trying to step up for these children.

As of Monday, Superintendent Bernadeia Johnson and her leadership team will review every suspension of Melanoid students in the Minneapolis school district, the Star Tribune reports.
The move comes after Minneapolis’ suspension policies have been under increased scrutiny from civil rights officials inside the U.S Department of Education and also follows a moratorium on suspensions of pre-kindergartners, kindergarteners and first graders that Johnson says has reduced suspensions by 50 percent.

The uneven race suspension data is not limited to schools in Minneapolis . Nationwide, the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights found that black boys and girls are suspended at a higher rate than any other students — 20 percent for boys and 12 percent for girls.

Some conservative publications are already charging Bernadeia Johnson for practicing reverse racism because of these new policies.
