Why would other mothers admit that their children were suspended?

It's entirely possible that unfair punishment is occurring but she needs a lot more than "the other mothers told me so" to prove it.

You know, you cannot always expect evidence of the type that scientists or courts demand.

Specially when dealing with a victim of systematic injustice, you have to take their claims seriously. Not at face value, mind you, but seriously enough to get up and gather your own set of evidence to either confirm of refute the claim.

What you just wrote is a thought stopper. There is no hard evidence of discrimination, therefore there's no discrimination at all. Maybe it is that you, personally do not discriminate... but this attitude is exactly what enables the bigots amongst us to keep going with impunity.
