Language in "Ethos and Discipline" (discussion moved from User talk:68.148.13.174)
[edit]It's not "random racist asshattery": the school's own application form for teacher jobs asks applicants, "Please state your views on corporal punishment in regard to the education of young African-American men." Clearly the school itself believes that paddling is very useful for black young men. Personally I would extend that to young men of any race or color, but here we are just quoting what the school says. Alarics (talk) 20:55, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
- Looking at the page history, the problem I think is with the change from "The school believes that" to "The school has found that" - to me the second one implies agreement with the school's policy and a belief that the policy is well-founded. I don't think Wikipedia should repeat random high school administrator's beliefs as facts, especially when those beliefs seem to be a variation on the stereotype that black men and boys are particularly attuned to violence.
- I'm changing "has found" back to "believes", but since you've clearly put a lot more into this page than I have, if you think there's good reason to revert it I'll happily bow to your judgement.
- I'm sorry for the inflammatory edit message before.
- You're right, "believes that" is more neutral. Alarics (talk) 22:04, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
