U.S. Representative John Conyers, along with U.S. Senator Ben Cardin have reintroduced The End of Racial Profiling Act of 2015.
Great. Now this is why it will go no where: They forgot about child welfare!
Child welfare includes juvenile justice.
Child welfare was intentionally designed and funded for "Targeted Populations".
Medicaid in child welfare specifically funds the administration of "Targeted Case Management".
The target, under various federal codes, is minorities and Child Protective Services, a pseudo law enforcement entity, targets minorities, or rather, "vulnerable populations" and will enter your home, remove children, and prosecute, without warrant, without charges, without facing the accuser, to be tried as guilty until proven innocent, based upon generations of teaching and training.
The targeting of vulnerable populations, more specifically "minorities", are taught in the pedagogy of the School of Social Work and is reinforced through policies of the States.
As child welfare is exempted from public scrutiny, no one will ever know in an individual case if there was racial profiling. Records are sealed and States are immune to litigation in child welfare.
Targeted Case Management is racial profiling and the child welfare industry, being on the fast track to privatization, will never allow this Bill to survive because there is too much money involved, but at least it has started a dialogue,
What the dialogue is, is still in question because I am the only one speaking upon the fact that there are no civil rights in child welfare...for now.
And for now, racial disparities in foster care will continue and there is nothing this legislation will do about it because it forgot about the children, again.
If this is disturbing, contact the gentlemen who introduced this Bill and make sure to tell them Beverly Tran sent you.
