It seems to me that when individual students have attitudes that are inconsistent with success, the school acts responsibly when it discourages them. If a student doesn't study or doesn't bathe or doesn't listen, then the school should not be coddling the attitudes that produce the unfortunate behaviors. I would not consider it inappropriate for the school to actively discourage them. Now, if the attitude in question has come to be practiced by a particular subculture rather than an aberrant individual student, we're saying that the school must shift gears and coddle it because to do otherwise is racist? I don't buy that.
