Twitter Witch Trails

To say Sunday night's #oklaed Twitter chat was very upsetting would be putting it lightly. Question 2: To which I answer: A2: 1.)Fatherless Boys, 2.)Parents uninvolved in education, 3.)Bad choices I was not citing resources here. This is my opinion. But there are many sources out there that I could have used to back up my response. We were asked what we thought contributed to the School to Prison Pipeline. Nobody took issue with my response #1 and #3 in the tweet. But I was called out and blasted for being “accusitory” with my “lack of compassion” and “lack of empathy” for my second contributing factor. I said that lack of parental involvement in education was a factor, i.e. parents of students getting into trouble at school and thus being suspended are overwhelmingly less involved in their child's education. Is this matter here being contested as a fact? From this moment and the next 20 minutes, I could hardly stay involved in the actual chat at hand.
