He’s backing a ridiculous campaign to require schools to equalize punishment to students based on race. Read about it here.

Will punishment also have to be “proportional” according to gender?

This silly issue has been around for quite a while. I used to be a member of the North Carolina Advisory Committee on Civil Rights. In 2010, a report claiming that disproportionate punishment was a civil rights problem was circulated for comment and I told the chairman that it was ridiculous and that I would not support it. Several months later, virtually the same report was circulated again. That was the last straw. I resigned.
