Jan Kettlewell, associate vice chancellor with the Board of Regents, said that nationally, and in Georgia, a disproportionate number of African-American boys are in special education classes, largely because of behavior problems.

Not totally. It's also because of POOR classroom management skills. As early as the 2nd grade, students are being referred for Special Education. More times than not, they REMAIN in SE until the end.
It's very, very sad. Many of the AA boys/men I see everyday at work are not interested in attending a 2-yr, let alone a 4-year program, unless they have a GREAT chance at getting an athletic scholarship.
