New research suggests not all kids in Texas are suspended equally. Black boys, foster and special needs children in Pre-K through second grade are being suspended more than any other group of kids in the state, according to a new report released by non-profit Texans Care For Children. Advocates say suspending these kids doesn't change behavior that comes from trauma, developmental delays and other reasons. CEO Stephanie Rubin of Texans Care For Children suspending these kids doesn't change behavior that comes from trauma, developmental delays and other reasons. She also said suspension sends the message to kids that they don't belong during a time where they're trying to figure out how they fit in to school.
