Assistant Secretary of Education for Civil Rights Catherine Lhamon stated that &#8220;significant disparities by race \u2013 beginning as early as preschool \u2013 have persisted in the application of student discipline in schools.&#8221; While racial disparities in student discipline alone do not violate the law, ensuring compliance with Federal nondiscrimination obligations can involve examining the underlying causes of such disparities.<\/p>\n<p>The department&#8217;s resource, developed alongside the Department of Justice&#8217;s Civil Rights division, highlighted several Office for Civil Rights investigations that exemplified the department&#8217;s definition of racially discriminatory actions. For example, the Victor Valley Union High School District maintained discipline policies that &#8220;disproportionately harmed black students&#8221; by suspending students from school that were late to school or skipped school entirely. Another school district, Wicomico County Public Schools in Maryland, was required to allow students who skipped school to make up their missed schoolwork.<\/p>\n<h3>Criticism of the Guide<\/h3>\n<p>The department&#8217;s resource was criticized by conservative education experts who noted the Biden administration was insinuating that school discipline practices such as suspensions are racist. Bob Eitel, the president and co-founder of the Defense of Freedom Institute, stated that the Biden administration is &#8220;wrong&#8221; to suggest that &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/obamas-former-education-secretary-announces-hes-running-for-governor-of-maryland\/\" title=\"Obama\u2019s Former Education Secretary Announces He\u2019s Running For Governor Of Maryland\">school disciplinary policies<\/a> are inherently racist.&#8221; Mailyn Salabarria, the director of community engagement for the parent activist organization Parents Defending Education, said that &#8220;accountability and personal responsibility are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/kids-cartoon-bluey-blasted-for-not-having-disabled-queer-poor-gender-diverse-or-dogs-of-color\/\" title=\"Kids\u2019 Cartoon \u2018Bluey\u2019 Blasted For Not Having \u2018Disabled, Queer, Poor, Gender Diverse Or Dogs Of Color\u2019\">important life lessons<\/a> for students, regardless of their race or ethnic background.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However, the guide emphasizes the importance of examining the underlying causes of racial disparities in student discipline and ensuring compliance with Federal nondiscrimination obligations.
