Is their any chance black students are more disruptive than white students?

I would like to see what, if any, is the difference between black student suspensions in rural areas and black student suspensions in urban areas.

I would also like to see what, if any, is the difference between the suspensions of children in two parent homes and suspensions of children in single parent homes.

There are not many black students in rural Missouri. Most blacks in MO live in the large cities.

But I would imagine that those black kids who do live in rural areas get suspended at about the same rate as white kids.

There aren't many black students in rural GA either. I would imagine they get suspended at about the same rate as the white kids, though. At our tiny school, way more white kids are suspended than black kids.
