Minority Student : American Schools are STILL Racist

It's already known that low-income students of color generally have less experienced teachers, but a new study from the Center for American Progress reveals they have less effective teachers, too. Students in schools with a high concentration of minorities are more than twice as likely to have an ineffective teacher than students in schools with a low minority enrollment.

Teacher quality is not distributed equitably across schools and districts. Poor students and students of color are less likely to get well-qualified or high-value teachers than students from higher-income families or students who are white.

Public school students of color get more punishment and less access to veteran teachers than their white people. Black students are suspended or expelled at triple the rate of their white people.
