Re: “black girls are expelled from New York schools at 53 times the rate of white girls, and that black girls are only 16% of the female student population but make up one-third of all female school-based arrests”.

If black girls are really 2x more likely than average to get in trouble at school, as the second figure suggests, what’s going on with the 53x figure for New York??? It’s possible that NY has a massive problem, but this difference is so big that I’d want to check all the data for errors before concluding anything.
