Trump administration revokes effort to reduce racial bias in school discipline

The Trump administration rescinded documents Friday meant to guide schools in handling discipline, turning back an Obama-era effort aimed at reducing widespread racial disparities in how students are suspended, expelled and otherwise punished.

The move by the Education and Justice departments was made official Friday but was widely expected. On Tuesday, the Federal Commission on School Safety recommended that the guidance be revoked, citing concerns over its legal foundation.
