Obama administration guidelines could lead to racial quotas in school discipline

The Washington Times
How discipline is doled out in the classroom now will be under much closer scrutiny by the federal government, but some analysts say the Obama administration’s efforts ultimately may backfire and could lead to de facto racial quotas in American schools.
The Education Department and the Justice Department on Wednesday issued new “guidance” to ensure minority students aren’t punished through suspension, expulsion or other means more than their white peers.
The administration cited legal authority under Titles IV and VI in offering detailed rules for how school districts can administer discipline. . . .

Awhile back I remember a story about a vice-principal trying to discipline a couple of students in a high school cafeteria. Two black teenage girls proceeded to pick up metal cafeteria chairs and tried to beat the guy to death, who was himself African American and a very big guy.
Witnesses said the white kids just looked on in disbelief. But with the above expressed concern of the Obama administration, it makes you wonder if those girls got worse punishment than all of the white teenage girls who try to kill vice-principals with metal cafeteria chairs. (Yes, we do have some white kid school mass 'shooters,' usually shooting fellow whites, but since they usually end up dead, later punishment doesn't seem to fit into this legal issue.)
