I'd bet that if a discipline study were based on measures of social disadvantage the results would be similar to a race based study.

IMO the role of the schools should be to educate children in a healthy non-threatening environment. The teachers should maintain a classroom in which children feel safe and can focus on learning.

Certainly teachers should be trained and encouraged to provide support and encouragement to disadvanted children. But should disruptive children be allowed to lessen the educational opportunity for the other children?

The schoolboard setting race based quotas for discipline is absurd.

And training kids to be snitches is worse, if that is really happening.
