What New Stats Show About The School To Prison Pipeline For Black Girls Is Worse Than Anyone Could Have Imagined
Judging by the statistics, the national focus on the troubled plight of Black boys with initiatives like President Obama’s My Brother’s Keeper may be missing a real crisis that’s hidden in plain sight: Black girls are treated even more harshly in American schools than Black boys when compared to their white counterparts—leading to them now being the fastest growing population in the juvenile justice system.
The numbers are jarring: Black girls across the country were suspended six times more often than white girls, compared to Black boys
being suspended three times more often than white boys, according to the
U.S. Department of Education’s analysis of the 2011-2012 school year.
Only 2 percent of white females were subjected to exclusionary suspensions, compared to 12 percent of Black girls.
Because males are suspended in greater numbers than females, the
harsh treatment of Black boys tends to draw all the attention. But a new
report by the African American Policy Forum and Columbia Law School
called “Black Girls Matter: Pushed Out, Overpoliced, and Underprotected”
shines a spotlight on Black girls in public school, playing particular
attention to what happens to them in the New York City and Boston school
systems.
I only got ONE good picture of him! He looks nice and healthy and stays out in the open a lot so I’m happy. He keeps eyeing the surface but I blocked off as much of the lid as humanly possible so fingers crossed he doesn’t try jumping. He went to the bottom when I turned off the lights though!
This time-lapse video by Mitsuru Yasui focuses on a room filled with cats, all of whom are determined to sleep in a narrow sunbeam streaming through a partially curtained window as it moves across the
floor during the day. As a result, they create a furry line across the
floor that moves as the sunbeam moves.
One pair of cats took a short break from their scientific work for a brief procreation attempt
(0:51).
Here’s that one Garfield strip where Jon drinks dog cum just in case you needed it
no you know what i have to reblog this again
if this cup is actually filled with dog cum, what world does jon arbuckle live in where coffee is white transparent and goopy
in the first panel we see him looking down into the cup, he is visually acknowledging that is not coffee. he then in the second panel takes a hard swig of it, and not until liz responds does he react to his mouth full of dog cum
he knew this was dog cum
he wanted to drink the dog cum
jim davis was a furry
Guys, it’s clearly not dog cum. You can’t get pregnant from DRINKING cum. Liz is a veterinarian. She would know that. So clearly this cannot be dog cum.
What is actually happening in this strip is that Garfield is pregnant with puppies and Liz is doing that thing where she congratulates the owner as if the owner is actually the parent. Garfield has been fucking a dog and is now gestating dog fetuses somewhere in his body. The coffee is unrelated to Liz’s comments andonly exists so that Jon can do a spit take. This is the only logical way to interpret this cartoon.
Every single time I see a new comment on this post it gets better and better.
what kind of vet leaves a mug of dog cum just lying around when they’re not even treating a dog? I’ll tell you what kind - the kind that knows that Jon Arbuckle is coming for an appointment, and is sick of him always drinking their fucking coffee. Liz clearly engineered this entire scenario. Maybe she even mixed the cum into coffee to make it more likely for him to accidentally drink it. Nobody fucks with Liz
“A recent survey of 1, 233 teens by Liz Claiborne, Inc., and the Family Violence Prevention Fund found one in every three adolescent girls in the United States have been a victim of physical, emotional or verbal abuse…
International Working Women’s Day was started by the Socialist Party of America to commemorate a wave of spontaneous strikes by first- and second-generation Jewish, Russian, and Italian immigrant teenage girls (as in like, they were 16 years old) in the textile mills of New York City. This was the “Uprising of 20,000” and was one of the most infectious displays of labor militancy in the 20th century. A couple years later Clara Zeitkin, a German Marxist who would be arrested several times for helping to incite the 1919 communist revolution in Germany, brought it to the floor of the Second International and the first Women’s Day celebrations in Europe were held by communist parties and communist women.
This isn’t even like “oh yeah well maybe it kinda had the phrase ‘working women’ in there originally.” It was started by socialists to commemorate daring strike actions led by newly-immigrated teenage girls and then formalized by the international communist movement. Fuck the UN’s tepid IWD celebrations.
