<span style="text-decoration: underline">African-American Boys Receive Less Attention, Lower Grades And Harsher Punishment In School</span>

A recent study by the Yale University Child Study Center shows that Black children — especially boys — no matter their family income, receive less attention, harsher punishment and lower marks in school than their White counterparts from kindergarten all the way through college. A subsequent article published in “The Washington Post” reported that Black children in the Washington, D.C. area are suspended or expelled two to five times more often than White children. It’s a national trend that needs to be addressed.

Judith Browne Dianis, co-director of the Advancement Project joined Roland Martin on Washington Watch to discuss this disturbing trend.

Steph, under the youtube video is an icon that says &quot;share&quot;. Click on that and the URL of the video comes up. Copy. On the msg board, in reply mode, is a box like a t.v. right over the reply space. On my computer, the 5th icon from the left, which is a media tag. Click the icon and choose whether the video is from google, mySpace, yahoo, or youtube. A dialogue box opens and you &quot;paste&quot; the URL of the video into the box. Click &quot;OK&quot; and the imbedded URL will be inserted into your reply.

BOAL

CyberPhobic, queenb and I know each other because we live within half an hour of each other.

Also, I've never made any secret of my name or where I live. It's only recently that RichD decided to keep my name and address off the boards. i don't know why. I told him that anybody enterprising enough only had to go back and re-read old threads over the years to see who I am and where I live. I've never been shy about posting such info online.

Now that I'm running for public office (city council), the world has gotten that much smaller. When I win my election, don't unnu think it's eventually all gonna come out again anyhow? How can I hide that? I'm friended to all sorts of local, county, and state politicians on FB, as well as J'commers, childhood friends, neighbors and family. It's known by at least a few politicians that I hang out here, and have for years. (since 1998, I think)

Yeah. My name is Stephanie. And I answer to Steph, Witchy Ooman... and MissusB... and a couple of childhood nicknames. Not to mention my Yiddish and Hebrew names.
