Answer 1

1 a. In the ted talk, she tells how African Americans are disproportionally disciplined. They are giving more suspensions to them from their white classmates for the same mistakes. In short, African Americans are disproportionally placed in American education. States like Alabama, Virginia, and Florida have race based standards. That means that for example if a white child needs 80 percent to pass, the black child would require just 60 percent. This clearly shows how the curriculum is putting down the intelligence of the black community.

b.These practices has have the black children feel left out and feel like an outcast. Tey begin to start beleivning that they arent good enough which can be really bad to their mental health if this starts from a young age
