- For the 50 million kids who attend public schools in the US, the 2020 election is personal.

When it comes to who gets punished and removed from American classrooms, the US doesn’t treat all students equally. Black students get suspended and expelled far more frequently than their white classmates, and often for the same or similar offenses. And the weeks of school that Black kids miss each year can kick off a chain reaction that changes a child’s future.
But the US education system gives the American president a tremendous amount of power over public schools. Whoever holds the Presidency decides how schools handle things like testing, class size, and discipline.
During the Obama administration, the US Department of Education started to take the country’s school discipline problem seriously. They investigated the schools with significant racial gaps in punishment rates, and issued guidance on how to replace outdated policies with more effective ones.
Then Betsy DeVos, President Trump’s education secretary, abandoned those efforts. Trump's administration stopped releasing discipline data, changed the standard of what constitutes racist outcomes, and scaled back efforts to fix or even acknowledge racial disparities in how we punish kids. In this video we explain the origins of this crisis, and how the 2020 election could change things.

exactly arrest a child for being a child sounds amazing doesn't it. But don't arrest a bully who assaults someone multiple times sounds about right.
@@ayansaid788 Another example of the incompetence of the United States’s Educational System is when a boy from California was arrested for skipping 90 minutes of Zoom class. I’m pretty sure that’s veeerrrryyy faaaaiiirr...
FACTS!
Can someone explain why schools call social workers after you miss a few days
@@aluminiumbird5113 That could be a sign of family trouble, like the heat being off, in the dead of winter. Say in that case, it is a problem with money, and negotiating the system with utilities. And that is where a social worker as a go between could help solve a family issue. But in more serious cases, the child's absence could be due to serious abuse, or neglect issues. Say the mother is out, on drug binges. In my duties, as a social worker, there was one mother missing for months. Later, her body was found in the house of a serial killer, with like, 8 other murdered women. You can find this woman's son, as an adult, talking about his life with her, in a documentary here on RUclips.
racism isn't getting worse, its getting filmed

Go back to segregated schools.
Oh wow look at you so powerful and insightful🤣
I got suspended for being 15 minutes late to school and not having on the uniform shirt.
What actually happened was I missed my school bus and had to run to metro bus (public transportation) stop in order to even make it there. If I had not I would have been more than an hour late by time the next bus came. It was hot that day so I took off the thick school polo until I got to campus and stop being sweaty. As soon as I walked into building they rounded up everyone that was late that day because a lot of people were still in halls after first period bell. They decided to make an example out of everyone to warn the other students.
I never had been in any trouble ever at school and had good grades. I was in the biotech special classes called (IB) and wanted to attend an Ivy League. I cried and beg them not to suspend me because a suspension would look bad for colleges. They turned my original 1 day into a week for “theatrics”/“causing a scene”.
After that I stop caring as much about school. I felt like my chances of getting into a top school were ruined. I did end up going to college finally though but at 23 after years of being talked down to by people not smarter than me while working minimal wage jobs. I graduated with a 3.73 gpa in biological engineering. But I always wonder what would have happened had I just made that bus that day. How much further along in life I could have been. I’m definitely not blameless in how I handled the situation after but at 15 my thought processes weren’t perfect, one bad moment felt like my life was over at the time.
So made you miss a FULL day of school, just because you were 15 MINUTES late!
@@maryperry6573 a day for that and another 6 for complaining.
@@maryperry6573 I understand how that feels being a minute late and being absent. Bad 6th Grade memory

jesus christ, i knew the american education system was bad but i didn’t know it was this bad
Let's get this straight. The school called the police to arrest a 6 year old because she had a tantrum. If you can't handle a kid having a tantrum well then maybe working in a primary school isn't the best job for you.
I think it is harder these days as teachers can't really touch the kid such as restraining them or what is needed to subdue them. However, calling the police sounds ridiculous. Maybe the child was really lashing out at the teacher and other kids.
school policy...
I like your pfp 😳👉👈
they shouldnt have kids
Yeah, if only people able to hand 5 yo kids were to be hired. Then public schools wouldn't exist.
Imagine,
A full-grown man assaulting an elementary student.
@Jack Attack what
What the video didn't mention is the ending of the first story.
I thought he was fired after that. Because he didn't ask permission from his supervisor to arrest the kid. They need permission to arrest someone under 13.
That's what I heard.

@@cleorandall2444 It’s always weird to me when people talk about Hispanic people, me and my whole family are Hispanic and all our family friends and their family’s mostly are too, I don’t know any one scared of police, we are all taught to treat them with great respect and don’t be “friendly” per se with them, be professional. Are you Hispanic? Maybe my view is different it’s just because I don’t live in the poorest Hispanic areas, though to be honest it’s not exactly very nice either.

Aishik Panja Don’t listen to them.... They don’t understand the situation..
I am a kindergarten teacher and I have been for the last 6 years and I work with ages from 1 to 6. I have been punched kicked pinched and screamed at and I have never even thought of calling the police. I deal with it with kindness but firmness !! I am the adult
Exactly! Also a teacher, but HS. Never would even consider calling police.
Off topic but I've so much respect for you guys. Not only do y'all teach some actual useful stuff that's gonna help us in life but are also able to handle a bunch of 10-15 toddlers all at once, even including the tantrums that they normally do, and maybe even better than some parents would do. I wish you guys were highly paid and appreciated so much more.
@@jdl13b I’m a HS teacher at a private boarding school that I live at. A 14 year old got in trouble in my class and walked with me to my house to discuss it. We weren’t able to see eye to eye on the situation and I told him that my mind was made up and I was writing him up. I go inside my house and he starts knocking on my door and calling my name after I tell him to leave. As frustrated as I was, I was not about about to call the cops on a 14 year old and shortly after he left to avoid getting in more trouble.
Well in india you are not taught pinch punch or kick like that if you do parents will reprimand u hard and we can't even think of doing that to teachers I think somewhere parents in America need to be strict which I common here in East that's y we don't insult our teachers
Good teacher, but did you say you work with 1 year old kids?
Imagine being a child in Kindergarten, and see one of your classmates be arrested, in class, for just have a meltdown.
There is literally nothing a 5-year-old is physically able to do that warrants handcuffing them and throwing them in a police car
Yeah and also, is it legal for a police officer to take her to the station without a parent around?
@matthew gill i just asked because in my country the agents have to wait for the parent to show up
Guys she was reaching for her gun 🤣
well there is once that a 5-6 year old shot and killed another student, no lie
Uhhh, hands = ability to grab. Grab gun. Gun hurt people. Hurt people mean go to jail
imagine arresting a 5 year old child for having a tantrum even though thats basically apart of growing up at this point
@ you must have rocks in your head
@@gamertron0993 And you must live in a nice neighborhood. White boy.
@ That's like claiming a parent should just let their child touch a burning stove without any effort to warn or stop them. Okay, yeah, if they get burned they're never going to forget it. But humans have ears, and brains, and by the time a kid is a few years old, they realize injuries hurt them...they don't have to literally have their hand on the stove to know how to be careful.
Kids are going to have enough pain and difficulties in life no matter how much we want to protect them, there's no sense in actively adding to that by subjecting them to abuse by police at a young age.

Isabella Catherine In Canada you can’t charge a kid below the age of 12 with a crime.
Don't teachers in US have loco parentis? Why aren't they accompanying the kids to jail? They're letting strangers kidnap and violate the children, rather than teach them how to defuse the situation, be tolerable, act decently and be civil, understanding, and compassionate.

Suspension is the weirdest thing. You misbehave? Go home and play minecraft. I just can’t handle you right now
Y'all remember the kid who got SUSPENDED because she exposed teacher by Video taping the teacher bullying her student? America is different.
In my school when a child misbehaves badly, they call the parents/guardian, not the police.
mine also ( if they called the cops when i misbehaved instead of my parents , then i would probably have been arrested more than 25 times )
what? don’t you call the cops every time a child yells at a teacher? how strange...
Why not both
I feel so privileged because I never knew that kind of thing happened before watching this video. In my school, the only reason to call the police for a student was if this student was selling drugs or got on a serious fight, but that was really rare...
asspounderify why would they need to call the cops unless the kid had a weapon or something?
Honestly, it's pretty ridiculous that American schools use "suspensions" as a punishment. It's exactly what the misbehaving kids want and the opposite of what they need
Exactly. Even as a very young kid, suspensions and sending people out of class never made sense to me because, surely that’s exactly what they want? You’re not teaching them a lesson, you’re trying to make your job easier. Instead of figuring out what the problem is, you just choose to ignore them and focus on the (most likely) smarter kids. As the cycle continues, smarter kids get smarter and dumber kids get dumber - not to mention the sort of mental health problems that could be related.
they dont have money to do anything else fam. it's a budget policy
Soul Glow most often loud kids are due to adhd the school could claim extra money for adhd kids and use money to help them

Arresting kids!?
By calling the cops and criminalizing a child? The child's parents should have been called. Children don't act out for nothing..... something was going on with that child.
Imagine one day saying
*ya, I have arrested a sevenyear old before*
Regardless of race, a school shouldn't call the police on a six year old because of a tantrum
agreed
But it’s all to do with race, as you Americans call ethnicity. It’s because black children are misunderstood by white teachers and police, with a terrible education system initially created to exclude and discriminate against them and ever since they’ve forced into horrible situations as a result. You’re entirely missing the point, bruv.

If you have to call the police on one of your 6 year old students, then you deserve to be underpaid.
I think they shouldn't be paid at all
That’s just petty man. Arresting a 6yo? Like, what are you even trying to accomplish?
Where I'm from, outside the US, if anyone called the cops because they can't handle a 6 year old here's what might happen :
-A sane adult would dissuade them.
-No Cop or dispatcher would ever consider going, sending anyone.
-If anything, that'd be seen as child abuse and the adults calling would at least lose their job.
*That wouldn't happen in my country and we never called ourselves the Land of the Free.*

We weren’t’ put in handcuffs or physically arrested but they charged us both with misdemeanor assault. Thankfully my county had a youth program to get minor misdemeanors cleared from your record but it was absolutely ridiculous. Me and this same guy run into each other at the grocery store or bank nowadays and start chatting with each other. Criminalizing child/adolescent behavior is ridiculous.
Calling police on some childrens school can't handle man , something surely wrong here
@forest pandit are you a bot? Because the school shouldn’t call the police on a 6 year old child. What’s wrong with you
From an outside perspective, it looks like racism wasn’t vanished. It was baked it to the system.

@@cyberpoint9582 Zero tolerance applies to everyone or to no one.
@ there are multiple ways you can discipline a child though. I don't think being handcuffed by the police is helpful. It's traumatising actually. The emotions the child experiences will be way too intense for any sort of introspection to take place. Of course the child should face consequences for kicking people, but involving the police (who should be spending their time better) is moronic.

That kid will be traumatized for life; in that moment being cuffed and probably fearing she’d go to jail never see her family again. There is a serious problem that is so fundamental to this system it’s beyond reform. It needs to be completely restructured.

The bigger issue is in the home of these black students and black culture itself. You can’t just blame everybody else for your problems.
Now arrest the ACTUAL bullies, not 6 year olds.
I had several tantrums as a kid and probably kicked my parents when my tantrums were really bad (sorry mom and dad). 2 parents. TWO people were able to get my tantrums to stop. But several teaches felt the need to call a *POLICE OFFICER* on a child. Disgusting
laura
Why didn't they call the parents though? And if this was a repeat thing why didn't they suspend or expel the child and be done with it? Why involve the police in a school matter? It's not like the child had a weapon and was threatening the lives and safety of everyone around her. This move was absolutely baffling.
If these people can't handle a tantrum from a child, they should not have the profession of a teacher. Nor let around any children, period.
@@elic1356 you think people become primary school teachers because they are highly qualified?
@@CarloH10 Exactly.
Poor kids man, this would have traumatized me as a child and as a parent.
I couldn’t even imagine
oh and the lawsuit Jacksonville faced is going to help heal that trauma
Being a ManCity fan must come a close second, huh. :(
@@jusletursoulglobaby that's Bad thinking. Think about the Money you have lost due to the trauma being part of your life for the Rest of your Life, Plus the time Investment.
@@manas0211 lol Last season a bit.
This is one of the main reasons why I never reacted to bullies and avoided trouble to focus on my education despite my poor upbringing in a black neighborhood. I was shy and anxiety-induced by all the violence that went on around me by other black people, but remained strong enough to still stand and get accepted to top colleges. Most schools treat the students like dogs, and these elementary kids grow rigged once they hit middle and high school by disrespecting the staff and others. They grow believing they’re beyond saving because the adults told them that they are, even the quiet ones are verbally beaten. They remind us how useless we are and how we contribute to making more beds in the prison system, claiming us as societal waste
i’m sorry but if you under 13 there’s no reason to put handcuffs on a kid
Guess people under 13 are on the purge
I am from India where police is quite untrained, corrupt and brutal. But this will never ever happen here. Never. This is illegal. The principal of the school will be arrested if they call the cops on 10 yr olds
Same from Brazil
and what the video didn't mention is that even at nurseries Black children are being disciplined harshly too. you see his in orphan homes too.There is a whole report about which kids are abused, adopted first etc...
Same here.
Some of us understand that India is still learning to walk the walk. Good luck to all who seek peace.
We love India
Handcuffing a 6yo ?! Why is that legal?!
The handcuffs are visually upsetting, sure, but they're not the main thing that's going wrong here. The bigger issue is that neither the school nor the police (and this isn't a police matter to start with, but let's place that aside) waited for the child's parent(s) or other responsible adult to arrive, if they even contacted such people at all. In a frankly terrible hypothetical scenario where you'd have to choose, it's better to handcuff the child and take them to the police station accompanied by a parent than to not handcuff them and take them to the police station on their own.
She hit another human
Andrew Cisneros that’s just what kids do.
@@Arthur-rh9tf It's a six year old child! Handcuffing her won't help you teach the child why what she did was wrong.
@@Arthur-rh9tf kids at my school used to fight and even throw bricks at each other and in every case the only person responsible was the parent of the child that got in a fight... how hard can a 6 year old hit someone anyway
I have read about this in my Early Childhood Education classes as well as heard personal accounts and it really breaks my heart. I heard someone spent weeks in the principals office with only packets of work to do. Thats not an education.
I didn't even think this could be a thing. Arresting children, what is wrong with these people?? In my country parents are legally responsible for the action of their children until they turn 14. I've never heard something like this, so sorry for these kids. It must be traumatic
the fact that grown men and women are scared of six year olds is just embarising
Worrying is one thing..
Being scared is another..
Prejudice is really worse
They aren't allowed to physically restrain kids to be fair
If they're (the kids) shooting people yes, otherwise no.
*embarrassing
As a Swedish citizen, to see kids handcuffed and pushed over is extremely shocking.
It is what it is.
@@nickarjoma5350 Sweden is repeatedly held up as having one of the best standards of living in the world, how much better of an example could there be? Maybe Finland? Also it's only some of the US arresting children who have been developing memories in their brains for less than 365 days guys! Good news!
IDK anything about American laws but in Canada it's illegal to for a child 12 and under to be charged, if this happened in Canada the people who tried to arrest a child would be immediately fired from their jobs and sent to the supreme court
@@Jackson-nr2mw 👍👍
Well I get it. Cops have precautions in place to handcuff. It’s more of the teachers fault. She was probably on the call like “I have a student who assaulted me and I need police”
bro she is 6, that is actual spawn camping
All these black parents in here defending their lil thugs
How come the cops have the rights to put cuffs on a child for the smallest of misdemeanour ?
Utterly shameful....
One of the by products of no longer disciplining children when they misbehave is that we basically have to treat them like adults, and what do you do when an adult misbehaves, you call the police. Corporal punishment and disciplining children should not have been deemed child abuse because the alternative is much more damning to children than simply just spanking them.
@@KRYMauL The alternative is to be a teacher, not an executioner.
Quintinohthree Right because when you teach everyone there won’t be someone who throwing stuff, the only reason people are well behaved in other countries is because of constant fear of punishment. Society requires discipline.
@@KRYMauL
No this is just another way Americsn reply on police to "take care of problems" they dont want. There was no reason for those children to have any contact with the police. You're just enabling this bad behavior. And literally no other country does this but the US.
@@KRYMauL Threats of punishment are evidently the least effective method of discouraging bad behavior of any kind. The severity of punishment is immaterial and even the chance of getting caught makes little difference. Bad behavior is not a rational decision weighing benefots against downsides and the odds of either, it's irrational and therefore requires, you guessed it, teaching of some sort to stop.
Society requires discipline in that adults should have the discipline not to hit children and not to call the cops when children do.
Here the teachers' themselves are acting like a bunch of arrogant kids
They are, but some are more childish than the children.
True
@Rusty Griswald then they should’ve called the parents to come get their kids how is their first thought to get police involved
@Rusty Griswald If you put kids in a closet to punish them instead of talking to them they are never gonna learn why there being punished separate kids and then talk to them that’s a healthy way to do it kids don’t just throw tantrums for no reason.
This isn't how the U.S. disciplines black students, it's how many teachers who shouldn't be teachers 'discipline' students. It's not a reflection of American teachers.
As a black man I knew I was treated differently in a predominantly white school
So sad man.
Hopefully your in a better situation man, we need to fix this
@@harishkrishnan4099 I really am. I'm doing awesome
The police had to be called on a freaking 6 year old for throwing a tantrum? Are you kidding me? All they had to do was call the parents to the school to take the child home. It didn't have to rise to the panic level of calling the authorities. And the police cuffing her like she's dangerous? That was ridiculous as I don't know what.
You assume the parents actually care or are able to tend to the call from the school... you also assume that a child doesn't have the ability to hurt an adult, which they do. When angry, some kids can act poseced, and can do the most ruthless, dangerous stuff. What do you then?
@@djbis i had to check your page to see why you think that calling a police on a 6 year old 'Black' child was ok then i found the reason. Seems about white.
@@djbis The child doesn't have the ability to hurt an adult if you just watch over them and make sure they don't grab like something sharp.
@@skully8767 ah so, what about my channel paints me as whatever you think I am?
@@__nog642 right, so you assume this child was being watched carefully by an adult. And let's not forget that children bite, scratch and can still inflict damage even at a young edge. The parents should deal with it, and not the police, I agree! But then we are assuming that there are responsible parents there to educate and oversee their child's discipline. I have seen kids in public places do some pretty violent stuff, and race makes no difference here.
I don’t even live in a developed country but if a 5 yo was handcuffed for being a troublemaker in class , the po wouldn’t see the light of the next morning
You are right we in India probably have a better democracy than the US after seeing this
@@g-gon8869 Give Trump another 4 years and North Korea will have a better democracy than the US.
@@altrag What was the Obama administration doing with all the data? What have they done ? Looks like usa itself has a lot of problems.
I think it is a problem of the state itself, both parties are at blame
@@g-gon8869 I have never seen a police officer in my school ever. Maybe during an event where one was invited as a guest speaker. I have had classmates who have struck teachers. The action the school took was to call the parents. Thats it.
What we are not seeing is the reason why these extreme measures must be taken. Vox wants you to believe that the police were called for no reason. What about the 29 other children that do not get to learn anything because one student refuses to follow the rules. What about those kids, do they have any rights?
Imagine being overpowered by a 6 year old
Enough is enough. Their time is coming....
I agree F them and their families
Who’s “them”?
@Zfb Tln
exactly. there's a reason Harriet couldn't free them all but you wouldn't get it. your mind is too skewed already
@Zfb Tln not exactly, and its about the people involved, not just in this video
@Zfb Tln it’s a systemic oppression that’s institutionalized at the most subsidized level. There is no simple “ but why is the black man doing it if it’s racist” gotcha here, there’s years of oppression that have been stacked on immigrant and minority communities that cannot be explained without a good dive into local history.
This is uncomfortable to watch.
Imagine living it...as a small child.
The US justice system is wack. I'm glad to not be american when videos like this crop up. This looks horrendous.
Trust it’s much more uncomfortable to live through it as a child, have to unlearn it in college, and then only see now that the system’s always been the true problem and not us kids like they drilled into us.
Trust me, ever since Trump got elected, racism in the department of education rose.
i can imagine. good luck on the election, americans.
Other countries school's, when a kid has a tantrum: timeout
America: Arrest the child!
you are not a grown person if you judge someone by their skin color.
At this point i think they will even arrest even a black baby
A baby doesn't commit battery.
@@LastManDancing even 5 years old because they don't know how world works properly

2 rules broken right there, but I bet your prison sentence was due to your insensitivity to starving children worldwide. Take your licks, that was just rude!
a six year old being pu in handcuffs and told they're being arrested? for kicking? that's normal six-year-old tantrum behavior. calling parents for an explanation shouldve been the most extreme action, not charging the kid for misdemeanors!
The truth is we need far MORE discipline in the schools. We need to build reform military type schools for those that can't behave to give the kids that want to learn the environment they need.
Bruh if the Teachers called the cops on a 6 year old in my country, the teachers would lose their jobs...
Nah a child in my country shot someone. The person died.
@@lostandmadguy But this child is like 6. If the kid you're talking about is just as small, why was she able to reach such a weapon?

Rohan Singh damm
sorry but how do you even charge a 6 year old? when she is being booked the cops put her birth date as 2014
Thank you Vox for doing the lord's work and bringing attention to these issues using real journalism, it's a craft that seems to have been forgotten 🙏
As a mother, this was painful to watch.
I'd be shocked if this is the worst you'd see from subsequent reports.
I hope you become better. I understand that it is hard to view. I apologize for you having to see this video. It shouldn't exist, these statistics should not look the way they do. You are cared about. Best wishes to you and your child.
I mean how can you arrest a six-year-old that’s going a little too far
As a *black* mother, this was painful to watch

Quite how arresting a Primary School Child for being naughty isn’t immediately seen as ludicrous is beyond me. Here in Britain we have an expression of exasperation, “Only in America!”
Ikr, like why the handcuff?
In America we have a variant: "Only in Florida!"
Tom Holland I mean I’m American and I do see this as ludicrous immediately, but I understand what your saying
This isn’t the norm in America
We have the same thing here in the Netherlands
How petty do you gotta be to charge a 5 year old with misdemeanor battery for having a tantrum and kicking you.
If you call the police on a 6/8 year old child for throwing a tantrum you should not be allowed to be a teacher. That’s literally just so disgusting.
Yeah, like that’s what kids do sometimes. Police aren’t needed, they just need some apple juice or something
I can’t believe that some of those police officers can actually do that, how can they sleep at night? How can they even think they’re doing the right thing.
they have their moral compass flipped upside down
There are plenty of corrupt police, but also plenty of police who simply have to do what they’re told to keep their job. Not every cop enjoys or thinks they’re doing the right thing in cases like this
It's called racism
@@leotide1990 Still it's a shame that that's what they have to do to keep their job.
