The poisonous possibilities of identity politics

This is really happening in the Minneapolis public school system: suspension of a non-white student will now require the district superintendent's approval.

Think about the impact on general school order, on teacher morale, on the possibility for soured race relations among students.

And think about this:

30% of the student body will be denied the safeguard of a review that applies to the majority nonwhite population. They are singled out, in other words.

Will those students whose disruptions will now  be harder to stop grow up to forewarn police in their communities that they intend to riot if a policeman who shot a crazed thug in a non-racial situation is not found guilty by a grand jury, and issue a list of demands as to how police are to respond to their rioting?  Demands such as no riot gear, rifles or armored vehicles?  A demand to be "tolerant of minor law-breaking?"

 Hey, you savages, American society demands that you not even think about rioting.

That would have been the expectation in the United States of America, but in post-America, where someone unleashing anarchy in a public school possibly goes undisciplined because of ethnicity, it's those who value ordered liberty who are held hostage.
