In regards to our treatment of minority school children.

Missouri's Black Suspension Rate

More than 14 percent of black elementary students were suspended at least once in Missouri during the 2011-2012 school year, compared to 7.6 percent of black students nationwide.

Meanwhile, Missouri’s suspension rate for white elementary students mirrored the national percentage of 1.6, according to the report by the Center for Civil Rights Remedies at The Civil Rights Project at UCLA.

St. Louis suspended 29.1 percent of its black elementary students at least once in 2011-2012, followed by Normandy at 21.7 and Riverview Gardens at 21.4. Kansas City also suspended more than 20 percent of its black students.

“It’s emblematic of problems (in the communities) and indicators of racial bias,” he said. He noted that many districts in Missouri did not have high suspension rates, but the biggest concerns were shown in districts that have high concentrations of black students and poor students.

Please pay attention to the 2nd quoted paragraph. The article states that St. Louis schools, particularly inner St. Louis, Normandy, and Riverview Gardens suspended black children at the highest rate in the state of Missouri. The Center for Civil Rights Remedies concluded that Missouri is the most racist state in terms of bias against black school children.

Yet, the article didn't mention that those three schools have a majority black attendance with a majority black administration.

For example, the race demographic of St. Louis County school districts: 84% black

This article's conclusions seem manufactured based on incredibly skewed data to fit a narrative.

Hmmmmmm....
