I suspect that had another student worn something they viewed as violating the dress code, and they asked him to remove it, and the student did not comply, the reaction would have been the same, though in the absence of an example we will not know.
Why do you suspect that this situation would be handled no differently if a white kid had done the same thing? Have you not seen any of the numerous studies that show how very different the disciplinary treatment of black students and others is?
I suspect you have, but just explained them away as you have here, with your belief that (white) teachers surely wouldn’t do such things because they’re, what was it, better people than others?
You know, (and I think it’s quite possible that you do know), MANY studies prove that teachers and other authority figures tend to treat black students worse, including the enforcement of much harsher forms of discipline, often involving the summoning of LEOs in situations where that doesn’t happen when white kids are involved. Why are you so anxious to explain away the likelihood that that happened again in this case? Why are you expressing sympathy for the general teaching population instead for those they tend to abuse?
