Obama's Hug-A-Thug Policies Backfire In NYC, St. Paul Schools

Obama's Hug-A-Thug Policies Backfire In NYC, St. Paul Schools | Stock News & Stock Market Analysis - IBD:
As serious crimes in schools soar, teachers unions in New York and other cities are pushing back against new softer student conduct codes inspired by the president’s national anti-discipline strategy.
New York public schools are dealing with escalating classroom chaos after adopting minority-friendly discipline policies that the Education Department pushed to close so-called “racial disparities” in suspensions and expulsions.
Educrats have been threatening school districts with lawsuits and funding cuts wherever if finds disparities.
High-school kids are getting “warning cards” for offenses that normally would result in a criminal summons and suspension, such as drug possession and disorderly conduct.
Liberal New York Mayor Bill de Blasio says crime is down in the schools, but it’s not.
It’s just that schools are ignoring it.
The only thing that’s down is suspensions.
In fact, “Forcible sex offenses are up 69%, and assaults are up 40% in New York schools after de Blasio implemented the Obama administration’s policy of replacing suspensions with ‘restorative justice,’ a kind of talk therapy — even for serious offenses such as fighting, arson and assault,” former Education Department civil-rights attorney Hans Bader said.
“This type of turning your back on illegal behavior is grooming criminals,” complained the head of Teamsters Local 237, which represents New York school safety ­officers.
Meanwhile, in a shocking election, the St. Paul, Minn., teachers union led a campaign to oust the city’s liberal school board that has allowed unruly students to bully teachers and students.
Classroom violence in St. Paul is so bad that the 3,800-member union has threatened to call a strike until school safety’s restored.
...“There’s no consequences,” complained a veteran St. Paul high school teacher.
“We are teaching our kids it’s OK to disrupt the learning environment, and all they’ll get is a slap on the hand.”
Obama’s racial bean-counting is just making inner-city schools more dangerous. 
And the biggest losers are minority kids who can’t afford to escape them.
