You would look and have to discipline white students at the same rates you were disciplining black students, however unfairly.

Madam Secretary, last year you came before us in answer to my question about a proposed budget cut to the Student Support and Academic Enrichment grants, under ESSA.
But it just puts such a glaring light on the need for mental health services.
I am very interested in postpartum depression, as looking at mental health as part of maternal health.
The estimates are also that 10 percent of those suffering from SUD receive treatment.
I hope that the President or whoever talked the President into reversing his promises to the American people... will realize that he is turning his back on people who need help.
Are you willing to guarantee that with the proposed cuts, $1,500,000,000,000 with a 'T,' half trillion, in Medicaid...
I hope you will reconsider what you are doing here with these cuts to Medicaid, that you are taking the most effective way we have that millions of Americans rely on to get treatment.
I appreciate the situation you are in and I am sorry that each time you come before us you are facing significant budget cuts.
