Unequal discipline for Native students
An investigative report in New Mexico finds Native students are expelled at a far greater rate than their white counterparts.
The report focuses on the public school district on the edge of the Navajo Nation with the highest percentage of Native students in the country.
1. Native American kids are expelled from public schools far more frequently than any other group.

2. One school district near the Navajo Nation appeared to be largely responsible for that disparity. https://t.co/abUc7l8hwB (2/18)
