In a «Dear Colleague» letter released last year, the U.S. Department of
Justice (DOJ) and Department of Education (ED) issued guidance for schools on avoiding discrimination against students on the basis of race when administering school disciplinary policies, and warned that if minority students are subject to disciplinary actions at a higher
rate than other students, schools could be faulted for
civil - rights violations.
Actually, that's what many people on the left do claim, and that was the basis for the Obama Administration's 2014 Dear Colleague Letter on the topic, which gave the Office for
Civil Rights (and
Justice Department) the authority to investigate school districts based on racial disparities in discipline
rates alone.

rates may be caused by a range of factors, the U.S. Departments of Education and

civil rights law.»

civil rights guidance — jointly issued by the U.S. Departments of Education and
Justice — put schools on notice that they may be found in violation of federal
civil rights laws if they enforce intentially discriminatory rules or if their policies lead to disproportionately higher
rates of discipline for students in one racial group, even if those policies were written without discriminatory intent.
