Is race a problem in discipline at the Richland 2 School District?
More than a year ago I met a man before last year's big More Justice (Midlands Organized Response for Equity and Justice) gathering. I hadn't started this blog yet, but I asked to be contacted with more information. No one called.
On March 26 a woman addressed the School Board about More Justice. I left a message for her at her church and also left a message on Facebook to be contacted. No one contacted me.
More Justice has a large public meeting planned for tomorrow, Monday, May 6, 2019, at 7:00PM at the Koger Center, 1051 Greene Street, Columbia. A speaker during the public participation segment of the April 30th school board meeting indicated that as many as 1,700 people might attend.
As I understand it, one of the concerns of More Justice members is related to what they consider unfair discipline dished out to black students, when compared to white students, in Richland 2 schools.
I myself don't know if it's fair or not.
If you want to know more about More Justice, which is an assembly of 29 churches, find them on Facebook and here.
